Asked how he will cope if he is voted by the viewers to do many tests, the singer believes that he will find them funny. “My biggest fear is being scared and trials are not something I’m particularly excited about. “I’ll just laugh. I know they won’t want to hurt me. But I don’t want to be bored either and I will try to get the stars for everyone. “I think I’ll be the house dietitian when I’m in camp because I’ll tell everyone they won’t let us starve. I’ll tell everyone to calm down.” Star Corrie – Sue Cleaver Sue Cleaver.
