Fabrice Muamba reveals reason for turning down I’m a Celebrity
FABRICE MUAMBA turned down the chance to appear in reality TV show I’m a Celebrity.
Muamba, 24, suffered a cardiac arrest on the White Hart Lane pitch last season during Bolton’s match against Tottenham, but made a remarkable recovery.
This week he released his autobiography I’m Still Standing, but questioned on what he really wants to do now he said: “One thing? Put my boots on and go out training. If I knew that the doctors gave me the all-clear to go out training tomorrow, that would be great. But I can’t.

“I really adjusted my life so I don’t worry about that. I am just happy to be able to do things. I want to learn how to swim. I want to enjoy life, do different things, explore different things that I would not have been able to do as a footballer.
“I was asked to go to the [I’m a Celebrity] jungle but I thought this is not for me. I’m not a celebrity. I’m not interested in that.”
