Former Sex Pistols star John Lydon has donated over €150,000 from his adventures on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! To chimpanzees.

The 48-year-old hellraiser has given the cash to the Tacugama Chimp Sanctuary in Sierra Leone in an attempt to follow through his promise to provide a charity with financial help generated from the show.

Lydon says: "It's a serious challenge on many, many levels. I don't want it to be trivial."
