Coronation Street star Beverley Callard has expressed her deep disappointment after being medically advised to withdraw from attending the live final of I’m a Celebrity: South Africa. Doctors recommended against her participation due to the demanding travel schedule, including a long flight and late night, following her recent breast cancer diagnosis.
Health Concerns Take Priority
Callard had previously exited the jungle camp after collapsing, an incident that preceded her cancer diagnosis, which she revealed in February. Despite her health challenges, the 69-year-old actor remains determined to overcome her illness, stating, “I will beat this.”
Final Lineup and Feud
The final will see Sir Mo Farah, Harry Redknapp, Craig Charles, and Adam Thomas compete for the title. Other former contestants, including Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas, are expected to attend amidst their unresolved feud.
Callard said she was “gutted” to miss the event, adding that “flights were booked” before the medical advice changed her plans.
