'I'm A Celebrity' star James Haskell, who is currently favorite to be crowned King of the Jungle, might just find himself in hot water after news that he was involved in secretly making a sex tape back in school have started doing the rounds again.

The ex England rugby star came up with the idea to hide a camera in a cupboard at the $24,000-a-year Wellington College in Crowthorne, Berkshire, he attended so he could film best friend Paul Doran-Jones having sex with his Lacrosse player girlfriend back in 2003, according to the Mirror.

Doran-Jones, then 18, was aware of the plot and consented to it, and afterward, along with Haskell, also 18 then, shared the footage with their school mates. One friend who saw it described it as "full-on" stuff and said, "It's fair to say that it was obviously not the first time for either Paul or his girlfriend."

After the video came to light, Doran-Jones' girlfriend, 17 at the time, was reportedly "horrified" and destroyed the tape herself.

"Paul's girlfriend had no idea, but found out - she was upset at first and then furious," one person from the school said, adding that Doran-Jones and her were in a "casual relationship."

Doran-Jones was expelled from Wellington for breaking the "no sex" campus rule, while his girlfriend was suspended for the same. Haskell was just suspended and is said to have escaped expulsion because he was an England rugby hopeful. 

When asked about the sex tape earlier this year during an interview on JOE, Haskell, who appeared alongside Doran-Jones, laughed and branded the entire incident a "stupid mistake."

"Remote cameras! That would have been the perfect crime," he said. "All I am going to say is this. My idea, Paul was execution, I wasn't in the cupboard at all."

"We decided to set up a home video club and it went horribly wrong," he continued. "It was a stupid mistake that we both regret. The worst thing was I was portrayed as having been involved... I was nothing to do with it apart from, obviously, it was my idea."
