Cycling superstar Bradley Wiggins is batting away endless showbiz offers because he doesn't want to be a celebrity.

Feeling like the odd one out at the starry GQ bash, the golden boy insisted he won't even take a freebie.
The 32-year-old lifetime achievement winner told Metro: 'I pay for all my own suits. I have been offered a lot of stuff but I don't want to be a celebrity. I want to be remembered for what I'm good at, that's cycling.
'The fame is what it is. I just go about it in my own way.'
Meanwhile, the queen of the track, Victoria Pendleton, admitted she too was struggling with being counted as a celeb. She said: 'What is showbiz really? I'm not famous.'
Last month, the Olympic gold medallist denied he was in talks to have a role on The X Factor by slating the ITV programme.
He said: 'Compared to the Olympics, everywhere you went the country was on a high, and as athletes it was phenomenal to see that, then you see X Factor and it's like, "Oh God, everyone's got to put up with that all winter now".'
