Peter Andre has told how he turned down a chance to return to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - which could have seen him camping with ex-wife Katie Price - as he wanted to move on with his life.
The singer scotched speculation that he was set to join the model in the jungle and declared: "Nothing could be further from the truth."
He also said Price's decision to go back on the show meant he would be able to have their children to himself for a while.
Andre wrote in his column for New! magazine: "I was approached by ITV to do the show three months ago, but I said 'no' straight away.
"For me, it would be like going backwards and - as much as I love the people at ITV - I am keen to move forwards. And, more importantly, I can't even begin to contemplate being away from the kids for a month.
"The good news is this means I'll have the kids to myself, which is amazing. You have no idea how happy this makes me."
The couple found love on the fly-on-the-wall show five years ago and Price has told how she hopes her return to the programme will bring her "closure".
Andre continued: "In terms of how I think she will do on the show ... no comment!
"The kids will be in bed by the time it's on every night, so they won't be watching it, but I'll obviously let them see any messages she gives them."
ITV said it does not comment on whether or not people have been approached to take part in the show.
