Harry Redknapp dishes out jam roly poly to the homeless after being inundated with his favourite pudding from I'm A Celeb fans

The 71-year-old star warmed the hearts and stomachs of people in need, after being inundated with his favourite pudding by fans.

The star craved the classic sponge dessert during his time in the jungle and in his absence, kind-hearted viewers sent him masses of it.

He and wife Sandra arrived home last Sunday to find a 'half-hundred weight' of boxes of jam roly poly and tins of custard waiting for them.

Homelessness charity Hope for Food said his support was a "massive boost".

During I'm A Celeb Harry tucked in to a portion of the sponge and jam dessert when he entered the final three.


After the show, he said: "We've got half a hundredweight here been sent by different people. Everybody's sending me jam roly poly puddings.

"Hopefully [my wife] Sandra will be able to cook some … for the guys and girls who are homeless on the streets of Bournemouth – they'll enjoy that with some custard."

Harry's wife Sandra told The Sun on Sunday that Harry is always on the lookout for a new challenge after retiring from football managing.



She said: "Harry’s a master storyteller.

"He went into the jungle with the aim of giving him something else to talk about down the pub with his mates.

"He knew he wasn’t going to manage another football team again, but he loves new challenges. He likes to keep busy and fit."


Close pal Neil "Razor" Ruddock recently claimed Harry's wife of 54 years Sandra is so devoted to him that she cooks his favourite dessert for breakfast.

The former footballer and reality star – who was managed by Harry at West Ham and played with his son Jamie – made the revelation while Harry was Down Under.

Speaking to Heat magazine, Razor dished: "Sandra does everything for Harry, and she's the same with Jamie.

"You'd get up in the morning and there would be a proper cook breakfast ready on the table, all the washing and ironing would be done. Harry's clothes were out ready for him to wear."

Razor revealed he even often starts the day with the sweet treat.

"When I last saw him, before the jungle, he ate a sausage sandwich then a jam roly poly and custard before 11.30am!" he quipped.
