Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney are set to join the I'm A Celebrity... South Africa camp on Tuesday night. The former EastEnders actors, who previously appeared in the regular Australian jungle in 2008 and 2006 respectively, will enter the All Stars series mid-way through the show.
They will join existing campmates including Amir Khan, Jordan Banjo, Helen Flanagan, Carol Vorderman, Fatima Whitbread, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell, Janice Dickinson, Myleene Klass, Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo and Andy Whyment. The new arrivals will face a 'flipping disgusting' trial as they re-enter the jungle.
Joe Swash, who won the 2008 series, credits the show with introducing him to his now-wife Stacey Solomon. The couple met in 2010 after Stacey won the series, and they have since had three children and married in 2022. 'I'm A Celebrity holds a big place in my heart,' said Joe. 'Without the jungle, we wouldn't have each other. In a way, we owe it to the jungle to say goodbye.'
Joe admitted he is nervous about the challenges ahead, particularly the eating trials. 'I have done so many Trials but they don't get any easier,' he said. 'I find them hard and I especially hate the eating Trials. I do think I am going to struggle.'
The All Stars series features bigger and tougher challenges, with no public vote. Campmates will compete against each other to become the first ever 'I'm A Celebrity Legend'.
