Stanley Johnson, father of U.K. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, arrived in Australia Monday as he prepared to take part in the TV show "I'm a celebrity ... get me out of here."

The elder Johnson, 77, said he was "excited" to be taking part in the show as he landed at Brisbane airport, according to the Daily Mirror. A former MEP who also worked at the European Commission and World Bank, Johnson has six children, including two in the government — Boris and Jo, the minister of state for universities, science, research and innovation.

"I'm a celebrity ... get me out of here" is a reality TV show that first aired in 2002 and features "famous" faces dropped in the middle of the Australian jungle. It's known for stomach-turning "Bushtucker trials" in which celebs have to eat the likes of purified sheep testicles and bush-pig sperm. According to the Mirror, this year will see cow's urine added to the menu.

The show's makers were keen to sign up Nigel Farage, but he reportedly turned down the £750,000 offer because he is "not a blithering idiot" and he would "rather go fishing."
