What a treasure! GRANT'S ISLAND OF LAUGHS

The Shorty funnyman is facing the scariest challenge of his life no joke
What a treasure! GRANT'S ISLAND OF LAUGHS

Grant Lobban G has no problem getting up in front of hundreds of people to do a stand-up comedy routine. And despite having previously had very little acting experience, he made the Shortland Street character of Damo Johnson so popular, he went from a one off appearance to a regular cast member.

But of all the things he's done in his career, signing up to take part in Celebrity Treasure Island is certainly one of the most daunting.

"It's definitely taking me out of my comfort zone," admits Grant, 50. "I've never done anything like this before. I'm happy being on stage in front of a big crowd because that's the performance personality I have.

"But I'm also an introvert a lot of the time and not very socially confident around people I don't know very well. Hopefully, once I get used to it, I can relax and be myself."

Grant doesn't have a game plan for Celebrity Treasure Island. He just wants to "try my best to get along with everyone and win the challenges. I don't want to stick my head up too much, I want to keep a low-profile and be useful.

"I'm just hoping I can throw a bit of comedy into it and make people laugh."
