The 18th season of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! has barely got under way, yet already it seems like Harry Redknapp's tales are going to be a definite highlight - for viewers and campmates.
On last night's programme, he shared a story about the time he pied Prince Harry and tonight his story about how he met his wife didn't disappoint either.
The former Tottenham and Portsmouth manager told the tale while collecting wood with John Barrowman, with whom he seems to be forming an unlikely bond. Indeed, the Torchwood star said their chat was 'one of the loveliest talks I've had in a long time.'

Harry said he met his wife of 54 years, Sandra, at a club in the East End called 'Two Puddings' - seriously.
He said: "Me and my mate Macca, he was a goalkeeper for West Ham, saw these two lovely girls and I said to Macca, shall we have a dance with those two.
"Macca is a good looking geezer and I look back on it now and think Sandra must have seen us both coming over and thought, 'I hope I aint got him' (referring to himself) and she went for me.

"54 years later we're still going strong. And Macca ended up as an undertaker so really Sandra had the better deal in the long term."
Classic 'Arry - you never really can predict where his tales will end, but you can guarantee you're going to enjoy the journey that takes you there.
To be fair to John, the story of how he met his husband Scott wasn't too bad either; arguably it was even more glamorous than Arry's daaaan Two Puddins.

John said: "I was in Sunset Boulevard at the time and I invited Scott to come and see me and we'd then go out for a meal.
"Well that night we were meant to go out I get a call from someone who said they had Cher on the line. She'd seen the show the night before and wanted to take me out for dinner. I said 'that's amazing, but I can't go'.
"I spoke to Cher and told her why and she said no one had ever turned her down before so bring Scott along. So our first date was with Cher."
Reflecting on their contrasting first encounters, Harry said: "While John was having dinner with Cher I was with Sandra at the Two Puddings. I know who got the best of the deal."

Yeah you imagine the performers down Two Puddings are very different indeed.
