failed to find sponsorship for a team running customer Ducatis in 2007, in May Fogarty confirmed the team's return in 2008 as the official MV Agusta team – only to later pull the plug on his team's activities and put their assets up for sale. Fogarty was never a person to stray away from controversy in the WSB paddock, and even in retirement, he frequently voices his opinion (most often in the British motorcycle newspaper MCN) in which he often berates past rivals such as Troy Corser and Neil Hodgson. This attitude towards other racers has made him a love-or-hate personality in the motorcycling world. In 2014, Fogarty won the fourteenth series of ITV' I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!. The final saw him challenged to eat a large cupful of live mealworms (which he managed in three mouthfuls), two fried tarantulas, three live cockroaches, ostrich anus and a camel's penis. In July 2016, Fogarty was awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the University of Central Lancashire. Personal life Fogarty married Michaela in 1991. They owned a house in Lytham St Annes and have two children, including a daughter Claudia. Fogarty backed the Conservative Party in the 2019 United Kingdom general election. Charity work Forgarty is patron of local charity North West Blood Bikes - Lancs & Lakes and will be opening their new headquarters in December 2017.
