Gavin and Stacey star Jo Page lands in Australia for I'm a Celeb

Joanna Page, best known for playing Stacey West in Gavin and Stacey, has touched down in Australia ahead of her appearance on ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Walking through Brisbane airport, the Swansea star was chatty and funny, much like her on-screen character.

A long way from Barry Island

Speaking to journalists at the airport after a day-long flight, Page said she was a "long way from Barry Island" and that she "kind of wish Nessa was with me now", referring to her on-screen best friend, played by Ruth Jones.

She continued: "It was quite strange actually, doing flights where I wasn't having to look after four children at the same time. It's about 13 years since I've had a flight where I can just sit down, watch a film and eat some food."

Love Actually on the flight

The TV star also revealed she was pleased to see Love Actually, in which she appears as a porn star in scenes with Martin Freeman, on the in-flight entertainment, but she chose not to watch it.

Page said she was in Australia for some "me time" before Christmas.

Who else is in the jungle?

Other celebrities taking part in the 2026 series, which starts next week, include Wayne Rooney, Claire Sweeney, Ricky Wilson, Chloe Burrows, Leigh Francis and Jack Skipper.

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! starts Monday 16th November, 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
