I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Amir Khan has admitted he "didn't really know" who most of the other stars were when he arrived in South Africa.The champion boxer, 36, who unfortunately left the jungle during Tuesday night's instalment, joked he's "really bad" when it comes to recognising celebrities and what's more, he struggles to remember names.

"I’m really bad. "The only people I knew in there was Toff and Carol Vorderman. I’m also really bad with names, I always get names wrong but people made that a bit of a joke and had a laugh about it.
