If you put on an act, the pubic will see through you. You can\u2019t put on an act for that length of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think all you\u2019ve got to do is to be yourself, I think it\u2019s really important to get on with people \u2013 if you can possibly get on with people, that obviously helps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that any prospective winners should try to avoid getting involved in arguments as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got on well with everybody, I made it my job to. I think it\u2019s very important to realise and I think some of the people that I was in there with forgot, but it is a television show and at the end of it, you\u2019ve got to come out of that show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve been absolutely horrible in there, the public will never forgive you for it,\u201d he added. \u201cSo I was just basically myself and I didn\u2019t think I was gonna win it. I didn\u2019t plan to win it, you can\u2019t. The people you\u2019re in there with, you might not see eye to eye with them but if you can possibly be nice and pleasant to people, that always helps.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Carl Fogarty \u2013 2014<\/h2>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1514027\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/IM_A_CELEBRITY_CARL_FOGARTY_02-e66c2cf.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Carl\" fogarty=\"\" title=\"&quot;I'm-a-celebrity-winners-how-to-win-exclusive&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div> <div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"> <span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>ITV<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<p>Former motorcycle racer Carl Fogarty won I\u2019m A Celebrity seven years ago and tells\u00a0<strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong> that it\u2019s not about winning the show but embracing the whole experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s totally out of your hands really.
