The bookie's favourite to be the King Of The Jungle - Harry Redknapp - has struck up an unlikely friendship with actor and singer John Barrowman.

The pair have been sharing stories of how they met their partners and Harry couldn't resist mentioning about how he managed to run over his beloved wife Sandra.

"They used to think I was a good driver but I had a nightmare and ran over my wife," admitted the former football boss turned pundit. "I mean you couldn't make it up could you? 

"I've been 54 years with Sandra. There used to be a band in the East End at the Two Puddings - it was above a pub. And we're stood there and there's two lovely girls over there, dancing round their handbags so I said should we have a dance with them two. I look back on it now and I think what were they thinking. How must she have been feeling? She's seen us two coming and she's copped for me. Anyway, 54 years later and we're still going as strong as ever."

Redknapp guessed his wife would be coping without him - going to keep fit classes and having a glass of something afterwards.

Barrowman, admitted the pair had become fast friends in the Australia jungle, saying: "Harry and I, it's kind of an unlikely friendship but those are the best kind."

Redknapp also told how he had been enjoying a chat with someone at a dinner not realising he was in the presence of royalty. "I sit down facing this young girl," he started. "She said my old grandmother loves racing - when she won the Gold Cup at Ascot. I thought who's here? She must have a few quid her Grandmother. Then I found out it's Beatrice right?"
