According to Ian’s mother Nesta Wright, when he was a child he had trouble with asthma, which might put him at a disadvantage in the jungle.
She told the Daily Mail he would not enjoy creeping through small, cramped tunnels during challenges due to his experience with asthma.
Nesta warned the experience may bring back “bad memories”.
She said: “The only thing with Ian is that you know when they go through those little tunnels and stuff like that? – he won’t like that.”
