Antony, 36, has been allowed time off from Coronation Street to take part in the show, filmed in the Australian jungle.
And the actor said he hoped the show would help him face up to his phobias – which he says are a fear of flying, heights and claustrophobia.
Antony, said: “I have a morbid fear of flying. I don’t like heights and I am claustrophobic. I have had hypnotherapy and I have also been to therapy to face my fears.
“The therapy was amazing even though in the days leading up to going in the jungle, I did have moments where I wondered why on earth I had said yes!
“But life is to live and so I think ‘why not do it.’
“Doing this show is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am hoping it will make me face up to my fears.”
