The Superbike racer said he would definitely not take part in Strictly, but he would consider an all-stars version of I’m a Celeb.
“No, you wouldn’t see me in a pink leotard dancing around on the dance floor. Not a chance!” he told Spin Casino.
“And I couldn’t take part in Dancing On Ice because I still have wobbly knees and sore legs from my time on the bike. I took part in the main race and won, after that I’ll stop,” he added.
He said of his time in the jungle: “I thought I was going to be the first one out. To go all the way and win was insane. I just fell to the ground when they declared me ‘King of the Jungle’.”
“I thought, ‘Oh my God. I’m just a normal boy from Blackburn.’ I would do an All-Stars version. I don’t know why, but I’d love to go back there.”
Carl, known by the nickname Foggy, has been recognized multiple times for his highest number of race wins of all time.
He grew up with former Superbike world star George Fogarty and made his debut in a competition at the age of 14.
His daughter Claudia appeared in the winter series of Love Island in 2023.
Although he supported Claudia’s newfound fame, he said it was “embarrassing.”
He said: “She went into it hoping that it would really help her career and give her something to do and it really did. So from that point of view it kind of works. But to be honest it was a bit embarrassing to watch! It wasn’t great!!”
Claudia recently enjoyed a trip to Ibiza with her new boyfriend, footballer Olly Crankshaw.
The couple travelled abroad with Claudia’s friend Hannah Monk and in the caption she joked: “I’m not sure who my favourite partner is…”
She included a selfie with Hannah and a couple photo of Claudia and Olly in the post.
Fans flooded in with comments praising the beauty. One wrote: “They’re both so cute…”
Another added: “Look like sisters!”
Hannah giggled: “Me, of course.”
