'I couldn't cope'

Harry Redknapp reveals he’s never ironed his own shirt, cooked or cleaned for himself during 50-year marriage to wife Sandra

HARRY Redknapp has hinted he may struggle on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me out of Here! because he relies on his wife to cook, clean, write and iron.

The 71-year-old football manager admitted on last night's episode of the hit ITV show he will struggle fending for himself during his time in the Australian outback, because he is not domesticated and relies on his wife Sandra for 'everything'.

The star has previously admitted he 'couldn't cope' without his wife of over 50 years.

Speaking to the , he said: "I couldn’t cope. I wouldn’t cope. I’m useless. She treats me like a baby. She does everything.

"I can’t cook, I can’t make a coffee, I can’t do nothing."

Although Harry - who has sons Jamie and Mark with Sandra - doesn't wash or cook, he can do some basic skills in the kitchen like make a cup of tea.

He added: "I could make a cup of tea and a cheese sandwich, but that’s it."

Harry has insisted he struggles with technology and can't come to terms with using a computer.

He continued: "I’ve never written anything. I don’t have an email.

"I can’t work the computer or anything like that. I’ve never wrote a letter in my life. I’ve never sent a card to no one but Sandra."

Harry has insisted his writing ability is equally as poor as his use of technology.

Speaking about his autobiography, he said: "Well I didn’t write it, did I? I can’t write – I don’t even know how to punctuate.

"If I wrote a line for you now I’d do some capitals and some small writing and you’d think it was a six-year-old’s writing."

Harry also relies on his wife - who he married in 1967 at Barking Abbey Church just a few years after they met aged 17 - for keeping him grounded when he gets angry.

Discussing his relationship, he said: "I have been with Sandra for 54 years and I hate being away from her.

"We’ve never had a row. Ever. After all these years, we’ve never had a minute’s problem between us. If I get the hump, she’ll just say, ‘look at you Harry, look at you, just calm down’ and I do."
