In his latest column for the , he explained: “I touch down in Oz, get to customs, then I'm met with: 'Just one minute Mr Beadle, we need a quick chat with you.'

“That quick chat ended up with me in a deportation centre. Not a jail cell, not a holding cell, a deportation centre.

“I walked into this place that was on a military base and was led to a room full of bunk beds with four other guys in it.

“I s*** you not, this was the weirdest f***ing thing I have ever experienced.”

The TV star then went on to reveal how he traded points for rations of food.

He added: “Mohammed, my cell mate, went on to explain that I had 25 points to spend per day and they got renewed tomorrow, f***ing buzzing, so I went in… Snickers, tins of tuna, Powerade, Haribo, and cigarettes (for Mohammed).

“Mo was telling me he had been in this place for three and a half years. Over three f-ing years. I was literally crapping myself.

“While I was locked up, my team were trying every possible way to get me home. I got told I couldn't fly through New Zealand, Dubai, America, Abu Dhabi, or internally through Australia. F***ing amazing.”
