All about: Myles Stephenson

2017 X Factor winner Myles says he can’t wait to get stuck into Camp life and meet his idols Ant and Dec.

He says: “Going on I’m a Celebrity is going to be so much harder than doing The X Factor but I’m so excited. I’ve watched it for years and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

On finding love on the show, Myles adds: “I am single. I’ve just got out of a relationship but I think I want to be single for a bit and embrace single life!”

Listing Sir Elton John as his ideal Campmate, Myles admits he may burst into song to try and lift everyone’s spirits. “If I’m in a good mood I’ll definitely sing one of my songs,” he chuckles. “I’ll try and keep up everyone’s spirits. It would be nice to entertain.”

But the upbeat star admits he doesn’t know how he’s going to cope facing the Trials – particularly as he’s scared of bugs and spiders. “I know my family are going to be wetting themselves laughing watching me do Bushtucker Trials. Anything involving small confined spaces or bugs is going to be hard!”

Whilst he admits he’s very competitive, Myles says he wants to embrace the experience rather than going all out to win it. “This is about team work,” he explains. “I want to embrace the moment. Of course it would be a dream come true to be crowned ‘King of the Jungle’, but I’m just excited to be a part of it!”
