“I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here” is back for another edition in 2021. And this time joining the cast is the British ‘Naughty Boy’, who is best known for working with artists like Sam Smith, Emile Sande, Beyonce and more. He was previously invited to appear on the show but declined due to his mother’s health.
Now, let’s learn about him, his career, height and parents in this article.
Naughty Boy In I Am A Celebrity 2021
British rapper and music producer ‘Naughty Boy’ has joined the 2021 edition of ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’. But he made it clear from the start that he is not a celebrity but his music is. He explained that the songs he writes are very popular and that being on the show is a chance for people to get to know the man behind the music.
Naughty had previously turned down the show to look after his mother. When the show came back, he was feeling good and things were much easier for his mother at the moment. If the show had been in Australia, he probably wouldn’t have done it because he couldn’t bear to be away from his mother for so long.
The British rapper joins Cheshire’s Louise Minchin, retired footballer David Ginola, Radio 1Xtra DJ Snoochie Shy, Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley and The Saturdays’ Frankie Bridge. The only preparation he has is cooking, something he’s been doing a lot of during lockdown.
Mr Naughty also shared that he was afraid of heights and confined spaces. However, he had people who helped him gain confidence. Before joining the show, singer Emile Sande (with whom he is very close) told him to “shine and be yourself”.
Who is Naughty Boy married to?
As of 2021, Naughty Boy is not married to anyone. We don’t even know anything about his life partner.
Naughty Boy’s dating life remains a complete mystery. But, back in 2015 when he was working with Zayn Malik, some overzealous fans were eager to get them together.
Naughty Boy Net Worth
Naughty Boy has built up a net worth of almost £3 million but he has come a long way to keeping it.
Due to financial constraints, music was always a distant dream for Naughty Boy. Although he wanted to take some music lessons, he never did. His parents knew about his love for music but doubted that he would make a career out of it from an early age.
He attended Guildhall College in London but dropped out.
However, Mr Naughty felt the urgency to pursue his path and entered Channel 4’s Deal or No Deal. Signing up for the game show, he won the show and won £44,000. He used the money to set up a studio in his parents’ garden shed, where he recorded half of Emeli’s best-selling album. That was the start of Naughty Boy’s music career.
At that time, he worked as a pizza delivery man for Domino’s in 2007.
Throughout his career, the DJ has worked with big names like Beyonce, Sam Smith, Emeli Sandé, Ed Sheeran and many more. Emile also used some of Mr. Naughty’s tracks for Rihanna’s next album. He released a studio album called Hotel Cabana which featured artists like Smith, Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Ella Eyre, Ed Sheeran and Bastille.
Mr. Naughty is good friends with Emeli and they run a publishing company together called Hotel Cabana. They have signed a group called Chasing Grace and he is the executive producer on their debut album. He also has his own publishing company called Naughty Words.
There is also another record label, Naughty Music, which is a joint venture with Universal, where he recently signed Thabo.

Who are the parents of bad boys?
Naughty Boy grew up in Watford, England. His father, Barkat Khan, worked as a taxi driver while his mother, Zahida (who was diagnosed with vascular dementia) was a housewife and childcare worker. As a result, he and his family struggled financially growing up. His parents often appear on his social media.
Furthermore, Naughty is very close to his mother. He never misses a chance to wish her a happy mother’s day or even her birthday. Naughty is the youngest of four siblings born to his parents. His brother runs a beauty salon with his wife, and his sister is a make-up artist.
As Pakistani immigrants, his parents wanted more from their children than just getting by. Mr Naughty explained that his parents had high expectations for their children, just like any other Pakistani family in Watford.
Now, NaughtyAKA Shahid Khan looks after his parents. “My parents don’t have to work anymore,” he told the Independent. “I look after them, and I’ve always wanted to do that. Especially when I’m the one who can least afford it.”
