The jungle is about to get a royal touch
I’m A Celebrity bosses have signed up the first ever member of the royal family to join the star-studded line-up of the new ITV series, according to The Sun.
Mike Tindall is set to slum it up and join next month’s I’m A Celebrity line up which is set to return to the bug-infested Australian jungle.
The former England rugby star is set to appear alongside stars including Boy George, comic Seann Walsh and DJ Chris Moyles.
Speaking to the publication, an insider explained: “It’s a massive coup. Mike has had a box seat for some of the most important moments in royal history for generations.
“He is sure to be discreet, but his sheer presence means this series will be an absolute must-watch.”
Mike – who lifted the 2003 World Cup with England, tied the knot to the Queen’s granddaughter Zara back in 2011.
The happy couple have since welcomed three children together – Mia, eight, Lena, four, and Lucas, one.
He has since become a key member of the royal family as an essential member of the inner-circle.
Elsewhere, Amir Khan, Joe Swash and Myleene Klass are leading the line-up of I’m A Celebrity All Stars when it hits screens next year.
TV presenting dup Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who recently confirmed they were filming the ITV spin-off in South Africa, will of course be hosting the programme, which will feature 15 legends from throughout the show’s history.
Amongst the record number of campmates, previous winners TV personality Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, ex-cricketer and A Question Of Sport captain Phil Tufnell and former EastEnders star Joe Swash are taking part.
Other big names reported include Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan and singer/presenter Myleene Klass – both of are famous for the shower scenes.
Additionally, Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell has also signed up, and he will no doubt be bringing in some gossip about the royal family.
The All Stars series of I’m A Celeb, which will take place in South Africa’s Kruger National Park rather than Australia, is set to run in addition to the usual annual ITV programme in 2023
