Kink of the Jungle

UNGLE Joe Swash loved to romp in the wild with a stunning blonde—despite being SCARED of creepy crawlies.

Ex-lover Jessie Lezard last night crowned the I’m A Celeb star king of the TUMBLE after he had a kinky fumble in the woods with her. And she revealed he loved being TIED UP for sex.

She said: “Joe’s definitely a ladies man. He dominated in the bedroom. He may not always volunteer for a bushtucker trial but he’ll be first in the queue for a bit of fun—especially outdoors.”

But as he battles a host of jungle bugs on the ITV1 show, she reckons he’s still a bit of a big girl’s blouse at heart.

Jessie giggled: “Once he screamed because he saw a spider in the bath. That put me off a bit — he seemed a bit if a wimp.

“I don’t know how he’s coped bedding down with all those creepy crawlies in the jungle.

“He was really particular about not getting any bugs on him in the wood—he hated that.”

Viewers have seen the ex-EastEnder try to turn Indiana Joe on screen.

But he yelped in horror at having to put his hands in boxes of eels, rats, and scorpions, and struggled to eat crocodile eyes, crickets and cockroaches.

Despite that hiccup, Jessie grinned: “Joe likes the great outdoors and sneaking off into the undergrowth.

“He loved the thought of being caught. He was a real exhibitionist and didn’t care if anyone was looking.”

Recalling their woodland romp, the 34FF former glamour model, added: “It was his fantasy to make love in the woods, although it was more suburbia than the Australian rainforest.

“I reckon he would love to get down and dirty in the jungle—he would love the idea of being outdoors and millions of viewers watching him in the dark.”

The soap star, who played Albert Square’s Mickey Miller, also liked kinky hotel sex with Jessie.

She said: “He booked a hotel room after a night out clubbing. We were both drunk but he insisted on tying me up.

“We had to improvise as we didn’t have any rope or string so Joe used the dressing gown belt to tie my hands behind my back.

“I just lay there as he dominated in the bedroom. We had fun that night.”

Jessie, 22, said Joe was always pestering her for a threesome too. “He really loved the idea. I would just laugh. He was hardly God’s gift—if it had been George Clooney then maybe I would be interested.”

But Joe was full of bravado. “He loved himself and loved the idea of taking on two models at once,” insisted Jessie.

Boastful Joe, 26, was also obsessed with his own image—and his thinning hair, as the News of the World revealed last week.

Jessie went on: “It was a big issue. Sometimes he would get up halfway through sex and check his hair was OK before getting back down to it.

“He also liked watching himself while he had sex. I don’t know how he’ll manage in the jungle without mirrors.

“He was so vain he even put concealer on his face to cover his spots. He was really secretive about it though. He’d die if anyone knew! I found it a massive turn-off. Who wants a boyfriend who wears more make-up than them?”

Jessie said it was his sense of humour rather than his body that attracted her to Joe in the first place when they met at a party in 2004.

She recalled: “I didn’t think much of him at the beginning, but he was a real cheeky charmer and he knows how to make a girl laugh.

“But his body was a bit pale and scrawny and he was covered in freckles, although his enthusiasm more than made up for it.”

One of their most hilarious encounters was when he took her on a dinner date, but messed up the food order.

Jessie said: “He was an absolute gentleman and would always choose the wine or order the food for me.

“Once he called the waitress over in a Chinese restaurant and said I wanted ‘AUTOMATIC duck’. I expected him to start laughing but he said it with a deadpan face. I didn’t want to hurt his feelings and tell him it was AROMATIC duck.

"On another night out he asked where Tsunami was in the world—thinking it was a place.

"Everyone ignored it, but it was hilarious. I was reminded of his funny ways when I saw him on telly asking Martina Navratilova if Prague was near Czechoslovakia."

Joe and Jessie’s relationship faltered when EastEnders bosses told him he needed to be single to improve his career status.

But mum-of-one Jessie—now engaged to another partner—still looks back on their time together with fond memories.

And she says it’s his caring, cheeky side which has made him one of the favourites to win I’m A Celeb.

Watching the show from her home near Chelmsford, Essex, she said: “He was very immature before, always acting the clown. You can tell he’s grown up. He’s a very caring man and always takes an interest in what everyone else is doing.

“He has got a good chance of winning, but he can go very quickly from being funny to annoying especially if you spend too much time with him.”

His jungle pals had better beware!
