Radio chiefs slam brakes on Ferrari...

LBC host won't be appearing on I'm a Celeb

NICK Ferrari pulled out of talks with ITV to join I'm a Celebrity after his radio bosses vowed to match his lucrative jungle fee.

The LBC star was wooed by show chiefs during what insiders say were “really productive conversations”.

But sources claim that after Ferrari, 66, mentioned the plans to his bosses at Global, they begged the radio star to reconsider.

A source said: “They pledged to match any fee he was set to receive as they consider him such a vital and well-loved part of the LBC schedule.”
