A former Chigwell school pupil continues to surprise TV audiences with confessions of ineptitude.

Since ITVs “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here” begun on Sunday, TOWIE star and former West hatch high School pupil, Joey Essex, has revealed he does not know how to tell the time, or blow his nose.

The 23-year-old claims that he has never been taught either skill, usually mastered by children.

But he has been the main breadwinner for the camp after being voted to take part in all three out of four trials so far.

And at present the Essex boy is favourite to win with odds of 8/13 at William Hill.

During his time in the Australia Mr Essex has claimed to be a specialist “counter”.

“I’m sick at counting though. I used to do it all the time,” he said.

The show continues tonight at 9pm.

West Hatch High School has been approached for comment.
