I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here star David Haye has revealed he wants to establish himself as an actor after retiring from boxing.
The 32-year-old heavyweight has won over a new range of fans after his appearance on the ITV reality show, with Haye currently favourite to be named king of the jungle on Saturday.
It seems he wants to capitalise on his expanded fan base with a permanent move from sport to entertainment.
Musing on life after boxing, he told camp mates Charlie Brooks and Ashley Roberts: 'In five years' time obviously boxing will be gone. I've got one maximum two more fights that I want, other than that I'm not interested in doing any more.
'In five years' time I'd like to be a well-established actor. That's my ultimate goal.'
Stressing that he wants to be taken seriously, he added: 'People will not see me a boxer but as an actor, an actor who used to do boxing. So watch this space.'
Haye made the revelation during a chat about the highs and lows of fame, in which he admitted he loves the perks of being famous.
He explained: 'When I didn't have any money I always wanted stuff, clothes. Now that I've become well known and famous, the brands that I aspired to have, want me to wear their things, jeans companies, trainers.
'Whatever I wanted, they were like "OK, could you wear this?" I'd go into a shop and they'd say "OK what do you want? Take what you want, just take a picture of you wearing it."
'They'd give me as much stuff as I want. They were talking about cars, it was anything.'
David had earlier found himself having his hand gnawed by a bandicoot while taking part in the final bushtucker trial, 'well of hell'.
The task Haye saw lowered down a well inside a bucket, with the aim to reach into holes in the wall containing stars.
After successfully negotiating yabbies and a crocodile Haye came unstuck after encountering a bandicoot, which clamped on to his hand.
'It's really going to work on my hand what the hell is that, I've got bite marks, thanks for that,' he said.
Despite the drama David managed to get all six half stars, earning three meals for camp.
Boxer David Haye has finished third in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2012, being beaten to the final by Ashley Roberts and Charlie Brooks and announcing that his next move is to try and become a Hollywood actor.
'I didn't think in a million years I would get this far', Haye told hosts Ant & Dec after exiting the jungle, though he had been tipped by many ( including the remarkably clairvoyant Eric Bristow) to go on and win the show.
EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts will now do battle for the title of Queen of the Jungle.
Haye said that the experience of being on I'm A Celebrity was better than winning boxing titles, saying: that he had 'had a really great time other than the lack of food' and 'met some great people.'
'In interviews I used to tell people don't talk about this or that, but in the jungle everything is laid bare,' he added, to which Dec remarked: 'You really were laid bare' - a reference to Haye's frequent and revealing showers in the camp.
'In five years' time I'd like to be a well-established actor, that's my ultimate goal,' he said.
Stressing that he wants to be taken seriously, he continued: 'People will not see me a boxer but as an actor, an actor who used to do boxing. So watch this space.'
He refused to back a winner for the final of the reality show however, saying that Ashley and Charlie are 'both winners' in his book.

Tulisa Contostavlos has said it would be 'amazing' if Cheryl Cole returned to The X Factor, but claimed to know nothing about rumoured secret talks between Cheryl and former boss Simon Cowell.
Cheryl has been constantly linked with a return to the ITV singing contest since she left following the 2010 series, but speculation today heightened after reports of a secret meeting between Cole and Cowell over in LA.
According to The Sun, Cowell has told the Girls Aloud singer to 'name her price' and is willing to pay at least double her old salary to entice her back on the show.
If Cheryl did return one of the current judges would almost certainly have to leave, but Tulisa claims she would be more than happy to see her predecessor back on the panel.
Insisting she knew nothing about the secret talks, Tulisa told Daybreak: 'I don't know anything about it, but I think that would be amazing.
'Obviously I love Cheryl to bits but I don't know anything about that.'
Tulisa went on to talk about her role on this year's series, admitting it's a 'new experience' after finding herself with no remaining acts following the controversial departure of Ella Henderson.
When asked if she now had the opportunity to relax, she replied: 'It would never be nice because if I could have my girls back I would, but I've just got to kind of get on with it. It's a new experience.
'Obviously last year I've never not had any acts because I've only been on it for two years now. It feels completely different but you've just got to get on with it.'
Tulisa also revealed she had been in contact with Ella since her exit from the show and that she is doing well, explaining the 16-year-old had 'such a strong head on her shoulders'.

Jahmene Douglas has given fellow X Factor finalist James Arthur a ribbing over his very public kissing session with a mystery brunette.
James was spotted taking his latest squeeze back to the Corinthia Hotel where contestants are staying after meeting her at Mahiki nightclub in Mayfair on Wednesday evening.
And former Asda worker Jahmene poked fun at his singing rival as the pair sat down to answer questions at The X Factor secret gig at the Talk Talk store in London's Soho last night.
As journalists fired questions at James over his late night snog, Jahmene suggested the talented singer songwriter did not even know the lady's name, chipping in: 'What's her name James?'
The semi-finalists were then asked how many people they had locked lips with during their time on the show.
Union J's Josh Cuthbert, Jaymi Hensley and George Shelley each said they had not kissed anybody - but it would seem JJ has had better luck with the ladies after he refused to reveal the exact figure, insisting he doesn't 'kiss and tell'.
Chris Maloney said he hadn't pulled either and Jahmene admitted he was standing around the three mark.
Ladies' man James simply answered: 'No comment.'
And as the boys teased each other on stage, George also joked that Chris would be stripping off on tomorrow's show in a bid to liven things up in Rylan Clark's absence.
'Chris is getting naked!' he exclaimed.
The group then decided amongst themselves that the show would not be the same without Rylan and that a 'quiet weekend' was in store.
Ashley Roberts and David Haye have both made it to the final three on this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! but which sexy specimen will win our Face Off this week?
Beach body
As a former member of the Pussycat Dolls, Ashley Roberts has a bikini body to rival the finest figures out there.
Her trim physique may not have warranted as much air time compared to the likes of Helen Flanagan, and she didn't quite manage to overtake Myleene Klass on the jungle shower leader board, but her slender frame is certainly nothing to be sniffed at.
Elsewhere on the show, David Haye has delighted audiences at home with his never ending nakedness over at Croc Creek.
Even Charlie Brooks has cottoned on to the fact that the public must be keeping him in until the bitter end in order to catch another glimpse of his pert behind.
Winner: Both are super sexy but David Haye is nothing but a marvel. David wins this round.
Camp life
Ashley has proved she's not just a pretty face during her time in camp.
In terms of bushtucker trials she scored an impressive eight out of 10 stars in 'terror train' and bagged a mighty four out of five meals for camp in 'the jungle walk of shame' with Charlie.
According to Eric Bristow, Ashley is so hardened to jungle living she'd eat cockroaches for brekkie if she had to.
David has nominated himself for a few trials over the past few weeks. He scooped a full house in 'scare plane' and nabbed six out of seven stars where Helen could not in 'cruelty towers'.
He's fun to be around and has proved to be a good diffuser when things get heated around camp.
Winner: Other than losing a bit of bulk David is undoubtedly a natural when it comes to camping. On the other hand, Ashley has proved than not every Pussycat Doll has to be a diva and has really taken jungle living in her stride. This one goes to Ashley.
Ashley came in to the show virtually unknown in the UK. Everyone knew the Pussycat Dolls but nobody had heard of Ashley Roberts.
Nevertheless, she has excelled on the show and not just because she's pretty to look at.
She's sweet, down to earth and even got Eric Bristow performing the routine to Don't Cha which was definitely a feat.
However, it was Ashley's role as camp meddler, and her incredible i-saw-a-monster gag - which really secured her as a frontrunner on the show.
On the other hand, Haye has been one of the most popular camp members right from the off.
He may be juicy bit of eye candy but he's also very kind, considerate and laid back.
He was one of the bigger names coming in to the show and this stood him in good stead as he had no ulterior motive and hasn't been attention seeking, unlike some of the rest.
Winner: Both David and Ashley made brilliant camp meddlers and would make perfect jungle champs. They're both worthy winners but David will probably swing it.
Overall Winner
David came on the show to win and let's face it, he probably will. David wins everything. Ever.
Jahmene Douglas has given fellow X Factor finalist James Arthur a ribbing over his very public kissing session with a mystery brunette.
James was spotted taking his latest squeeze back to the Corinthia Hotel where contestants are staying after meeting her at Mahiki nightclub in Mayfair on Wednesday evening.

'Chris is getting naked!' he exclaimed.
The group then decided amongst themselves that the show would not be the same without Rylan and that a 'quiet weekend' was in store.
He tweeted: 'On the uk show I do have a favourite but its your vote that determines the winner. Whoever wins will get the backing of Sony.'
But whatever happens, Simon - who is thought to be backing James Arthur for X Factor glory - is convinced next week's final is going to go off with a bang.
He added: 'I do think the us and uk finals are going to be close and that makes it more exciting. Especially if a group wins the us show! '
Meanwhile, Chris revealed last night that he's eyeing a duet with Gary Barlow should he make it through to the grand finale at Wembley next weekend.
However, the camp wannabe told Metro he and the Take That star had not yet discussed their options.
'We're just waiting to see what happens this week,' he added.
Speaking at The X Factor secret gig at the Talk Talk store in London's Soho last night, Union J also revealed they'd be hoping to get their mentor Louis Walsh up on stage if they made it to the final.
Jahmene Douglas revealed he's love to duet with Stevie Wonder on the show and James said he'd like to team up with Busta Rhymes if he escapes elimination this weekend.
The three finalists will solely determined by the public vote this weekend.
Lindsay Lohan's nightclub bust-up reportedly came after a fellow party-goer made a move on The Wanted's Max George and sent Lindsay into a jealous rage.
The Hollywood actress spent the night in cuffs on Wednesday night after the embarrassing altercation at Club Avenue in New York City.
According to reports, Lindsay had been desperately trying to woo the British heartthrob when the other female got in her way.
LiLo and Max are said to have met up following his gig in Madison Square Gardens where The Wanted were supporting Justin Bieber.
But unfortunately for LiLo, Max was 'turned off by the fact [she] was sloppy drunk,' a source told TMZ.
After the spat, the 26-year-old actress was taken into custody by police and booked with assault.
Officers told gossip website TMZ words were exchanged between Lindsay and a woman in another booth at the club.
The Mean Girls actress was quoted saying 'give me my space' before she allegedly hit the girl.
After the dramatics, Max then took to Twitter to spill the beans.
'Eventful night,' he tweeted.
Lindsay's legal history is lengthy, with a 2007 arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) in California starting a chain of events leading to rehab, jail and further charges including theft of a necklace.
Lindsay finally completed probation in March this year, but has since run into further problems and could faces charges of lying to police after a June car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway near Los Angeles.
She told officers she was a passenger in the car involved, when she is believed to have been driving.
George Shelley, Josh Cuthbert, Jaymi Hensley and JJ Hamblett of Union J are convinced they're next in line to get The X Factor boot.
The boys have predicted they'll be axed from the competition on Sunday despite winning the sing-off against Rylan Clark last weekend.
Speaking at The X Factor's secret gig at the Talk Talk store in London's Soho last night, Jaymi said: 'After Ella left it's clear that no one is safe and we're always in the bottom two so there's a good chance it's us.'
Asked why the group deserved to win the show this year, he added: 'Everyone here deserves to win it but we feel we've worked so hard to get here. We've developed week in week out.'
And the boys - who treated fans to a quick rendition of Snow Patrol's Run and Taylor Swift's Love Story at the event - unanimously agreed that if they did make it to the final next week, they'd love to team up with their mentor Louis Walsh for the customary duet.
But maybe Union J should have a bit more confidence in themselves because even neutral judge Tulisa Contostavlos reckons any one of the four remaining acts could get the chop this weekend.
Speaking on Daybreak this morning, she said: 'I don't know [who will win]. After last week's results I've just got no idea whatsoever. I'm just confused, I couldn't call it.'
The act with the least number of votes will be eliminated on Sunday's results show. There's no judges vote this weekend.
It would seem Rihanna is officially back with Chris Brown after they were snapped sharing a tender kiss after his Frankfurt gig.
RiRi posted the evidence online after the pair savored some alone time together.
The Diamonds hitmaker has been on the road with her volatile ex the past few days as he goes about his European tour.
Wearing a pair of white high-waisted hot pants and a matching jumper, Rihanna wrapped her arms around Chris as he buried his head in her chest while he recuperated after the show.
And RiRi couldn't have been more proud of her man.
She tweeted the intimate snap along with the caption: 'I dont wanna leave!!! Killed it tonight baby!!!'
The couple last night headed out to the nearby Adagio Club where they spent the evening in the VIP section and presumably did a bit more nuzzling.
A source close to the couple recently revealed that RiRi has been Chris' rock during their time away together.
The insider told HollywoodLife.com: 'Rihanna made it all about him and took a back seat, so he could do his thing and let the fans interact with him.
'She knows he's on tour and the club was packed for him, so she was cool with it.'
Helen Flanagan has been out of the jungle for less than a week and already she's whipped off her bra to pose for a saucy lad's magazine.
The former Coronation Street babe is known for her sizeable assets after parading around the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here camp in a range of saucy bikinis.
And she's wasted no time in showing her boobs off in all their glory now she's out of the jungle.
The saucy snap is for FHM Magazine's 2013 calendar, for which she is the tasty treat for November.
In the shot, Helen is seen sitting on her knees wearing only a pair of skimpy black thongs and a pair of stockings.
She then presumably tried to cover her modesty with a white cardigan, but as the buttons are strategically undone, it leaves very little to the imagination.
Staring seductively into the camera with her electric blue eyes, Helen certainly looks worlds away form her dishevelled state in the jungle.
Her dyed blonde hair is worn in short bob style and she sits with one hand covering her nether region and one hand carefully placed over her mouth.
But unfortunately for Helen's male admirers, she isn't single.
The soap star has been dating Manchester City footballer Scott Sinclair for three years.
But one thing the 22-year-old had to make clear as she stripped off for the shoot, is that she is no WAG.
'I don't hate being called a WAG but it's not what I am.
'I'm an actress, I like to model and I like doing my own thing,' she told FHM.
