I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2020 has exposed plenty of celebrity fears already in just a few days, with BBC Radio 1 DJ Jordan North's fear of heights and snakes very much out in the open.
So far Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah CBE has seemed to be coping very well with life in the castle but his wife Tania Farah has revealed that Sir Mo actually does have a major fear – he's terrified of snakes.
And although he tried his best to keep it a secret from the show's producers, Tania accidentally let the details slip when producers came to visit Sir Mo and his family while they were in isolation together in Wales.

Speaking to hosts Phillip Schofield and Allison Hammond on This Morning today (November 18), Tania said that her husband's most feared element of the show is "definitely the snakes".
"I let slip to the producers when they came to check on us that he's scared of snakes and I thought he'd already told them but he hadn't," she said. "Then he was really annoyed that I told them and started saying, 'They're going to give me snakes now'.

"Then he got really worried. I personally want to see that because he can handle anything except snakes!"
Revealing that Sir Mo had been "pretty chilled" about going into the castle until a couple of days beforehand, when he suddenly "got really nervous", Tania, who was joined by the couple's four children for the interview, said that she thinks the biggest hurdle for her husband won't be the lack of food, but rather the lack of activity.

"He gets restless, like when he was in isolation, after the first few days you could tell he was climbing the walls a bit," she said. "I think after a while he will start getting restless.
"I've never seen him hangry but he does love his coffee and his sugar. He will do alright without food."
Considering how well he's handled everything in the castle so far – including an unfortunate incident which saw him tumble out of his hammock in the middle of the night and decide to sleep on the floor – we reckon the athlete will be able to take on a few snakes.
