PAUL TAKES ON SNAKES & CORGIES
TERRIFIED PAUL Burrell faced up to his phobia of snakes in his Bushtucker Trial yesterday.
He bravely put his hands into holes filled with snakes, bugs and rats that bit his fingers.
But it was his relationship with the Queen's nine corgis that raised eyebrows in the jungle.
The ex-royal butler told Janet Street-Porter: "One of them used to sleep with me, Chipper.
"There was Smokey, Shadow, Brush, Chipper, Piper, Myth, Fable, Jolly and Sox."
Burrell then let slip that he used to have to clean up after them with blotting paper and soda siphons when they messed on the carpets.
The revelation came after Janet asked him: "Was one of your jobs as a fully grown man... clearing up after the corgies?"
But Paul insisted: "It was never humiliating, the dogs are very close to the Queen."
In a further royal insight, Burrell said he even drove the Queen to Oddbins off-licence on Cromwell Road, West London, to pick up a bottle of gin.
Exasperated Janet retorted: "For God's sake, what world do you live in? Any gran in the country isn't in a Bentley with a chauffeur, a police escort and nine corgies."
