As some of you might already know, Jimmy White has decided to give up his spot in the UK Championship qualifiers in favour of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.

As much as we would have loved to see White play snooker, observing his behaviour in the jungle can still be very interesting. Fans will get to know the man himself in greater depth and will possibly discover new sides to him.

This could certainly get entertaining as White seems to have all the typical traits for a reality show participant. In an interview before the show, White explained that he’s very wary of people, he’s the kind of person who will bolt away if hitting difficulties within a group, and that he has a phobia about snakes.

He doesn’t enjoy camping either and seems to be one of those people who really values comfort. All of which could definitely make for a couple of amusing scenarios.

Being a snooker player though, White is equipped with a strong, composed mind which makes him mentally fit for all the trying jungle adventures that await him. White is also a perfect gentleman, so there probably won’t be any juicy conflicts between him and the other contestants either.
