Star Wars actor Mark Hamill was reportedly asked to appear on I’m A Celebrity but refused because it involved "leaving the house".

While discussing an interview he’d done with the star, Good Morning Britain host Richard Arnold revealed that hehad been asked to the ITV reality show "a couple of times".

He told his co-presenters Susanna Reid, Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd: “He was on great form, a little bit jet-lagged much like myself coming from Aus and I mentioned I’m A Celebrity.”

“And he said ‘Oh I’ve been offered that show a couple of times’ and he said to them “Do I have to leave the house for it?’ That’s kind of the deal right?”

In the interview itself, Hamill blasted Star Wars fans who had given away the ending on social media.

He said: “Why do people do that? I don’t block people, on Twitter, even hate tweets, sometimes I like them to mess with their heads. But two tweets just came out and gave away the ending.”

“And I thought is it because they have this power for a limited amount of time? I just don’t understand why anyone would do that.”

His comments come after presenter holly Willoughby accidentally let slip a crucial plot point during an interview with Hamill’s co-star John Boyega.

Visibly shocked, the actor scolded her for her mistake, saying: “Oh Holly. Holly, Holly. You can’t tell the fans exactly what happens!”

Good Morning Britain continues weekdays at 6am on ITV.
