Pat Cash reveals sad reason for repeatedly turning down I'm A Celebrity

Pat Cash reveals sad reason for repeatedly turning down I'm A Celebrity In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, Pat said: "I'm not sure I'm capable of doing the jungle Wimbledon champion Pat Cash (Image: Justin Stead ) Pat Cash says his previous "bad bouts" of "anxiety and depression" forced him to turn down I'm A Me Out Of Here! The 60-year-old former professional tennis player has been asked to take part in the successful ITV1 jungle survival reality show many times over the years, but he refused as he dreaded socialising with people in the New South Wales, Australia-based outback for around three weeks. ‌ In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, Pat said: "I'm not sure I'm capable of doing the jungle. ‌ "The reality is I'm not a particularly social person. I like my friends but I find a lot of people quite annoying. "I have had bad bouts of anxiety and depression in my lifetime and I didn't want to be locked in somewhere for a few weeks." Pat has also refused to take part in the hit BBC One reality show, Strictly Come Dancing. Article continues below Speaking about the Latin and Ballroom dancing programme, he shared: "Strictly gave up on me. I'm actually really shy." Pat - who is remembered for winning the Wimbledon men's singles championship in 1987, and climbing the stands to celebrate - declared his appearance on The Masked Singer in 2022 was "just about the most nerve-wracking thing" he has done. The star - who was unmasked as Bagpipes after performing the Wheatus hit Teenage Dirtbag on Love-themed week four - told host Joel Dommett: "The thing I'm probably most famous for is climbing through the stands. In sporting events, nobody did that before I did it. ‌ But I'm sort of a frustrated rock guitarist. I had a band a little bit, for a little while and I call myself the 'emergency singer'. I liked the idea that I could just focus on myself. Ironically, it's strange, seeing the crowd is quite nerve-wracking. "I've played the centre court at Wimbledon but coming on here is just about the most nerve-wracking thing ever. ‌ "But what a great experience, I'm very very lucky." Pat turned 60 last month, but he only feels his age when he goes for a run or is on a tennis court. The sporting legend - who retired from professional tennis in 1997 due to injuries - said: "I don't feel like I'm 60, except when I go for a run and my hip plays up, or on a tennis court I think, 'Oh no, this is not much fun.' Article continues below "But these things are bound to happen when you've played 40 years of professional sport."

Meghan's twerking video was so cringey it was like parody – but it did exactly what she wanted, expert says

Meghan's "cringeworthy" twerking video was like a parody - but it did exactly what she wanted, according to a royal expert. Meghan, 43, posted the hospital twerk footage on June 3 to celebrate daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. 4 The Duchess showed off her dance moves in the delivery room Credit: Instagram 4 The couple resorted to dancing in an attempt to induce labour Credit: Instagram/Megan 4 Even Prince Harry joined in and dropped it down low for the camera Credit: Instagram/Megan However, Bronte Coy, the Royal Correspondent for Australian news site believes the release of the twerking footage was a tactical ploy by Meghan - and a very successful one at that. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive YouTube series, hosted by our Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, she called the video "very difficult to watch". "I honestly genuinely had to go to her page to make sure it had originated there because I thought it was a parody," she added. But she believes that Meghan is now in the influencer game and her goal is to get as many eyeballs on her content as possible - by any means possible. Coy said: "She's someone who is now working as an influencer. The direct marketing campaign is to your Instagram audience. "In that respect, I think she's got something like 42 million views on this video, which I think all of us were among them, but everyone I've ever spoken to seems to have been among them." She added: "There are people watching what she's doing. That directly relates, I would assume, to the sales that she's having and eyes that are on her Netflix show and that are going to her website as ever. "It was obviously very difficult to watch, it was quite cringeworthy but you are generating headlines. "That is the aim of people in this space, but then when you compare it to how we would react with the working royals putting out that kind of content, I think it's apples and oranges. because, of course, looking at it through that filter, you think, what are you doing? This is not appropriate." Moment Meghan Markle twerks and dances with Prince Harry before giving birth to Lilibet in rare birthday video Wilkinson credits Meghan's decision to launched her Instagram account on January 1 as the move that kickstarted her move into the influencer sphere. He said: "It started on January 1st with a huge explosion, and it hasn't stopped. It's been on fire all year. "At the end of last year, I was going through all the Sun front pages, and I put them all out on X, to show what had happened throughout the Royal year. "And Meghan wasn't on it. I think she was on once with Harry when Harry was in Canada, at a pre-Invictus Games event. She wasn't there. She wasn't big news last year. "She is big news now because of her Instagram." Coy says the Duchess is now living in a world in which "relevance is currency" - while The Sun's Royal Photographer Arthur Edwards believes Meghan wants to be "the second Gwyneth Paltrow." Meghan has used her Instagram to show snapshots of her family life, as well as sharing details of her businesses and her Netflix show 'With Love, Meghan' which has been picked up for a second series. While the panel agreed that we will be unlikely to see footage of William and Kate in the delivery room any time soon, there was a general agreement that Meghan is now operating in an entertainment capacity rather than a royal one. 4 Royal experts say joining Instagram has set Meghan on the path to full-time influencer Credit: Instagram ITV's Royal Editor Chris Shipp said: "It doesn't matter what people are saying about the video and, of course, some people loved it, other people absolutely hated it, but people are talking about them. He added: "They did say after Harry's book that this was him closing the chapter on looking back all the time. "'We're now going to look forward on our business, Meghan's business,' she doesn't care what people in the UK think about her twerking video in a labour ward four years ago. "She cares about eyeballs, relevance, whether that translates into her business empire." Ship added: "She sees potential in her brand and Instagram is the vehicle to get her that business and that custom and it's all about the United States, it's not about here."
