Former boxer Barry McGuigan shared fighting tips with his fellow I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! campmates and revealed that his real nose was replaced after a boxing injury
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star Barry McGuigan has opened up about a boxing injury that left him with a replacement plastic nose.
Coleen Rooney was the first to chime in, revealing to Barry and McFly's Danny Jones that she grew up sparring with her brothers. She told them: "My dad had us, me and my two brothers sparring each other when we were younger. He used to get us in the living room, we’ve got it all on video. I was Big Betty, my brother’s called Jo and he was Little Josie, and we used to have a ring walk.
Barry started fighting professionally in 1981 and had an impressive career, during which he held the British and European featherweight titles, between 1983 and 1985. The Irish star was also inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005. Later in the program, the singer gushed to the Bush Telegraph: "Today my life was made because Barry McGuigan let me hit him in the stomach. I hit him really hard and it was solid, it was like hitting a brick wall."
