Coronation Street star Beverley Callard has addressed confusion over her appearance on I'm A Celebrity South Africa, confirming the show was pre-recorded before her breast cancer diagnosis. The 68-year-old actress, known for playing Liz McDonald, will appear in the new series starting Monday.
In an Instagram video, Callard explained: 'I know everybody thinks I'm suddenly going away to South Africa, I'm not, we did film it a little while ago.' She described the show as 'frightening, wonderful, horrifying, funny, terrifying, exhilarating' and urged fans to watch.
Callard revealed her cancer diagnosis in February on The Late Late Show, stating it was caught early. She underwent surgery to remove two lymph nodes and will receive radiotherapy. She has been sharing updates with followers via Instagram.
The I'm A Celebrity South Africa cast includes Adam Thomas, Ashley Roberts, Scarlett Moffatt, David Haye, Seann Walsh, Sinitta, Sir Mo Farah, Gemma Collins, Craig Charles, and Jimmy Bullard. Callard previously appeared on the 2020 series filmed in Wales.
