Christopher Biggins was once described by his friend Cilla Black as the “first person you’d go to with a problem”. This week it was the turn of the Liverpudlian showbiz veteran and scores of industry pals to show their support for the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here winner at the launch party for his memoirs.

The sense of fun and bonhomie which the jungle survivor radiates made for a lively atmosphere at Monday’s get-together. Theatre divas Elaine Page and Bonnie Langford joined the festivities in London, along with Lionel Blair and Ingrid Tarrant.

As Christopher recently revealed to HELLO magazine, Just Biggins will include juicy details about the presenter’s famous chums, his eventful career and civil partnership with air steward Neil Twimap. “It’s very honest,” said the popular TV personality, adding: “I’ve led a fantastic, charmed life.”
