Comic named as part of a cast of returning 'all-stars'

Seann Walsh is returning to the I’m A Celebrity… jungle, it has been reported.

The comic has been listed as one of the former contestants taking part in a second series of the ‘all-star version’ alongside Red Dwarf’s Craig Charles, boxer David Haye and Olympic legend Sir Mo Farah.

All those taking part have already headed out to South Africa, where the new series is currently being filmed, The Sun reports.

Walsh, 39, came fifth in the 2022 series – which was seen as a way of redeeming himself following the tabloid storm surrounding his Strictly Come Dancing kiss scandal with Katya Jones four years earlier. 

In the Australian rainforest, the comedian struck up an unlikely partnership with former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who had also been exposed as being unfaithful – in his case with political adviser Gina Coladangelo at the height of Covid.

Charles – who is also a Radio 2 DJ – took part in 2014, but his time in the jungle came to a devastating end as he had to leave early when his brother, Dean, had a fatal heart attack.

I'm a Celebrity All Stars is due to air next year, again hosted by Ant & Dec.

Also named as taking part are former football manager Harry Redknapp; presenter Scarlett Moffat; Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts; singer Sinitta; footballer turned pundit Jimmy Bullard’ Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard and Towie’s Gemma Collins.
