TV DOM'S TEARS IN MOUNTAIN ORDEAL



TELLY presenter Dominik Diamond was left close to tears by a stunt for a celebrity reality TV show.

Dominik, 35, who is scared of heights, says he 'freaked out' when he was taken 5000ft up a mountain to do tai chi for Extreme Celebrity Detox.

The former Gamesmaster host said: 'I suffer from anxiety, insomnia and take whacking great lists of medication.

'I would like to try a cheaper, less invasive way of coping.

'Sadly, this did nothing to cure my vertigo. I still freaked out on the mountain ledge, I still wept as I abseiled off it the next morning.'

Dad-of-two Dominik fell out with one of his fellow celebs, wine expert Jilly Goolden, when she mocked him and Jack Osbourne, son of rocker Ozzy.

He accused her of constantly worrying about her looks, while criticising his trousers and Jack's 'blubber'. But he says he got on brilliantly with Jack, who he had expected to be a spoilt rich kid.

Edinburgh-born Dominik, who has previously attacked reality TV, admitted that he hoped taking part in the detox show would boost his profile.

He said:'If you can't beat them, join them. If that makes me a fame *****, buy me the suspenders because I've a mortgage to pay and I'm too old to learn a trade.

'I went through the full gamut of emotions and didn't hold back. It wasn't the greatest week of my life but it was undoubtedly the most important.When I got off the mountain I felt reborn.dailyrecord

I think it's quite good how this programme seems to find people who are choc full of sh1t to appear!

James Brown has been extracting the urine for years, but he's never had to drink it. And this was only one of the rituals he had to endure for 'Extreme Celebrity Detox'. Here, he describes how 10 days in the Himalayas stretched him to breaking point

There's only one thing worse than watching a bunch of desperate Z-list celebrities on television performing weird Indian internal cleansing exercises, and that's being one of them. Tonight, on Channel 4, I will appear in a programme called Extreme Celebrity Detox, for which I spent 10 days in the Himalayas doing an intense course of ashtanga yoga and a combination of brutal cleansing and purification rituals. The course was described to me by the producers of the programme as being "extreme yoga". I've since renamed it combat yoga.

Joining me would be the Nineties television presenter Magenta Devine, the television and radio funnyman Rowland Rivron, and the reality-TV regular Lisa I'Anson. I'm not sure what their motivations for going were. I just wanted to go on holiday and have a laugh: unless someone is planning to make a further programme called An Idiot's Guide to Getting Fit, I doubt that this venture will have improved my career much. I guess I was lured by the prospect of a flatter stomach and the possibility that my mates might finally stop calling me the "wok-smuggler".
