Taking over his Instagram account, the doting wife revealed that her husband will miss his loved ones, but mostly, he'll have some difficulties adjusting to his new diet.

"I'm doing Vern's Instagram account while he is away on I'm A Celebrity," she shared. "I'm excited to watch... But I'm nervous because his biggest challenge, I think, will be food. He loves food so much. I don't know how he'll cope without food. And he'll miss his kids and these two [pet dogs]."

Meanwhile, Vernon, 46, recently revealed the touching reason he's taking part in the new series. "I am doing it for my daughters, Phoebe and Amber," he explained. "It's a show they watch on a regular basis and they get behind the people in the camp. I think the fact I am involved in it will make it even more fun for them!
"And now it is approaching, they are so excited. Every time I talk about it, I get a double fist pump from them and they are thrilled to be involved."
