“CAN I have a pint of Foggy’s please?” is probably something real ale fans in East Lancashire never thought they would say.

But it will be at The Bay Horse Hotel, Osbaldeston, after Blackburn-based brewer Thwaites launched a new ale in the superbike champ’s honour.

To celebrate Carl Fogarty’s glory on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! the 3.8 per cent ABV ale, christened ‘Foggy’s Jungle Juice’ will be on tap for a limited period.

Landlady Helen Knowles said: “Foggy lives locally and is often seen around Blackburn. He’s a great character and we’re thrilled he has helped to put the town on the map.

“We’ve all been glued to I’m a Celebrity over the past few weeks as he’s been such a pleasure to watch.

“Foggy is very welcome to come in and sample his Jungle Juice anytime. There’ll be no shortage of locals wanting to buy him a pint, that’s for sure.”

The 49-year-old four-times world champion paid tribute to his fans after emerging victorious from the Australian jungle to tearfully take his throne as the ITV show’s deserved winner.

Foggy beat former X Factor contestant and bookies’ favourite for the title Jake Quickenden, plus TV presenter Melanie Sykes, in the final of the ITV show. He endured three weeks in the jungle braving grim bushtucker trials to beat 11 other celebrities.

In an interview with The Sun yesterday, Foggy revealed a secret three-year fight with depression and said his hunger to win during his career had created a ‘monster’.

He said: “For three years I wanted to forget who I was. I was depressed because I could no longer do the thing I was good at.

“I used to read stuff about Paul Gascoigne and Frank Bruno and I could easily see how they ended up not in a good place.

“Going into my trophy room was torture, a constant reminder of what I couldn’t do any more.”

He continued: “I now realise winning had become an unhealthy obsession.

“The more I won, the more I had to win, it was crazy. I had created a monster.”

Foggy also said he was ‘hurt’ after being snubbed at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards 15 years ago.

He told the national newspaper: “The press said it was me, David Beckham, and Lennox Lewis, but I wasn’t even in the top six. It really hurt.”
