Russell Kane back in the jungle

Comic returns to I'm A Celeb... spin-off

Russell Kane is to return to presenting the ITV2 spin-off show I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Now! when the reality show returns next month.

His co-hosts will be MTV presenter Laura Whitmore and former EastEnder and King of The Jungle Joe Swash.

The 2010 Edinburgh comedy award-winner will give his opinions on the unfolding events, while also reading out viewers’ tweets and Facebook comments.

Kane said: ‘I'm as stoked as a Victorian fireplace to be going back jungle-side. Sharing a Portakabin with Joe: what's not to love. and as for Whitmore... Phwoar!’

Kane has presented the ITV show since 2009.
