Harry Redknapp, Rita Simons, Fleur East, James McVey, Sair Khan, Nick Knowles, Malique Thompson-Dwyer, Emily Atack, Anne Hegerty, and John Barrowman have been confirmed for the new series of ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
Football manager Harry Redknapp, former ‘EastEnders’ star Rita Simons, ex-‘X Factor’ wannabe Fleur East, and fellow singer James McVey are among the names who have signed up for the new series of the programme, which will kick off on Sunday (18.11.18), and the former Tottenham boss admits he is “pretty useless” at looking after himself.
He said:
“I’m don’t have any idea really what I’m in for, no. Who’s going to wash my pants?
“I’m pretty useless at looking after myself.
“I don’t know about eating all these bugs and all these things, I’ve never tried it … I like a bit of calamari.
“It’s an adventure, I’m looking forward to it. You only get one life, you’ve got to give it the best crack while you can.”
‘Coronation Street’ actress Sair Khan, TV presenter Nick Knowles, ‘Hollyoaks’ actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer, ‘Inbetweeners’ actress Emily Atack, ‘The Chase’ queen Anne Hegerty and former ‘Torchwood’ actor John Barrowman complete the line-up.
And Anne – who is nicknamed The Governess on the game show – is confident she will ruffle a few feathers in the jungle.
She said:
“I’m sure I will annoy people immensely. I think I’m capable of being deeply annoying.
“I’m kinda hoping this is going to be a bit of a learning curve.”
Rita – who played Roxy Mitchell in ‘EastEnders’ – added:
“If someone really slags me off then I would definitely confront them.”
Nick said:
“I think being put into an uncomfortable environment with people I wouldn’t necessarily, normally spend time with is an interesting test.”
James and Fleur are both hopeful the campmates will get on well during the show.
The Vamps singer said:
“We’re not going to have a good time if we’re all arguing, so I hope we all get on.”
Fleur added:
“In my head I’m imagining it’s going to be like one massive sleepover with a bunch of friends, really fun.”
The new ‘I’m A Celebrity’ series kicks off at 9pm on Sunday on ITV.
