YouTube star Sharky has landed in Brisbane, becoming the second famous face to arrive for the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity, following Wayne Rooney's earlier arrival.
The 30-year-old, whose real name is Sharmarke Mohamud, touched down after a gruelling flight from the UK. He remained coy about his reasons for being there, wearing a blue sweater and black beanie while carrying his backpack and a bottle of water through the arrivals hall.
Who else has arrived?
Wayne Rooney, the former Everton and Manchester United footballer, was the first celebrity to land Down Under, following a 21-hour flight. He is reportedly the highest-paid contestant in the show's history, with his rumoured fee said to outweigh the £1.5 million his wife, Coleen, received two years ago.
Sharky was spotted at London's Heathrow Airport over the weekend, wrapped up in a puffer jacket and sweatpants. He is said to have been high on ITV's list following the success of Angryginge, who won the show last year. Other celebrities spotted at the airport include former Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney, wearing a snake-print hoodie and trousers, and Gavin & Stacey's Joanna Page, who arrived in leopard-print trousers with a small suitcase.
Who else is joining the lineup?
This year's lineup includes Chloe Burrows, Ade Adepitan, AJ Odudu, Leigh Francis, Mariella Frostrup, Jack Skipper and Leomie Anderson, all set to spend three weeks in the Australian jungle.
Ade will make history as the first campmate to use a wheelchair. Producers have adapted the jungle layout and camp walkways to ensure accessibility while maintaining the core rustic environment.
Schedule change due to UEFA Nations League
ITV bosses were forced to change the show's start date due to the UEFA Nations League. England will face World Cup winners Spain on Sunday, November 15, with an 8.45pm kick-off, just 15 minutes before I'm A Celeb's usual launch time. ITV holds the rights to the UEFA Nations League, so the show will now return at 9pm on Monday, November 16, on ITV1 and ITVX.
