Saw him briefly on tv last evening and o.h. reminded me that he was in Jungle Celebrity, I just googled and found this.
Seems he is more than paying his debt to society after his jail term, by helping lots of charities.

'Charlie Brocket is an author, television presenter and journalist specialising in travel, adventure and cars. His television career began as a contestant in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2004 and since then he has presented reality shows including Bad Lads' Army and Scream If You Want To Get Off. He has also appeared in numerous other programmes, and more recently on Dangerous Adventures For Boys for Channel 5.

His autobiography Call Me Charlie reached no 3 in the bestseller lists and he had 2 Top Twenty hits Jungle Rock and In The Summertime with The Jungle Boys (Mike Reed, Razor Ruddock and Charlie Brocket) with all proceeds going to charity.

He has recently travelled around the Mediterranean on a Harley-Davidson (Electra Glide Ultra Classic) riding 10,000 miles visiting many of the World Heritage Sites along the way, travelling from London, through France, Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy and back to London.

All proceeds from the trip went to CLIC Sargent, the UK's leading cancer charity http://www.justgiving.com/lordbrocket.

Charlie is currently working on producing a documentary on Bletchley Park, the WWII decoding centre
