I’m a Celebrity star David Ginola is superhuman in every way EXCEPT inside his boxer shorts reveals Celtic hero Thompson
I’M A Celeb star David Ginola is superhuman — in all but one department, Celtic hero Alan Thompson has revealed.
He told how he was in awe of the glamorous French ace when they were both at English side Aston Villa in the late 1990s.
Alan recalled: “David was handsome, well dressed and ripped like a Greek god.
“I thought, if he takes off his boxer shorts and has a big t****r there’s not a God. Thankfully when he took them off my faith was restored.
“I jumped up in the dressing room like, ‘YEEESSSSS’. The lads laughed their heads off.
“It was a nod that the rest of the male species had a chance after all!”
