talkRADIO host Iain Lee is set to join the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ jungle.
The controversial comedian has agreed to enter the famous Croc Creek camp later this week after bosses approached him because they wanted to chuck a star in that would ruffle a few feathers and cause a divide among current group of 10.
A source told The Sun Online: "Iain isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
"He regularly rants and raves on his TalkRadio show and his listeners should expect the same from him in the jungle. He’s very much in the mould of Danny Baker, who was also a late arrival last year. He will not bite his tongue and is sure to break the harmonious camp’s current mood very quickly. Expect fireworks."
The 44-year-old radio presenter will join boxer Amir Khan, Boris Johnson’s father Stanley Johnson, ‘Coronation Street’ actress Jennie McAlpine and Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas, Made In Chelsea’s Georgia ‘Toff ‘ Toffolo, Saturdays singer Vanessa White, comedienne Shappi Khorsandi , YouTuber Jack Maynar , ex-footballer Dennis Wise and Rebekah Vardy in the jungle, while another celeb is set to join at a later date.
The new series of the creepy-crawly show kicked off last night (19.11.17) as the 10 celebrities were thrown into the deep end after meeting one another at their hotel.
The group were then put into pairs as Amir, Vanessa, Jack, Jennie, Jamie and Georgia were chosen to walk the plank, which sees the stars walk along an unstable plank hovering 334 feet above the Gold Coast while trying to obtain a meal for camp.
Ant McPartlin explained: "As you can see we have two planks. You and your buddy will face them together at the same time. For each pair there is a meal ticket on offer. To successfully get that ticket you must successfully complete your challenge but if one of you fails… you both fail."
Buddies Jennie and Jamie successfully received their meal ticket, as did Jack and Toff.
Amir and Vanessa were the third pair to receive their meal ticket, with Vanessa exclaiming: "That was the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my life, I didn’t think I’d make it back."
Meanwhile, Dennis and Shappi were given the challenge of skydiving into the jungle, while Becky and Stanley found themselves on a "hellboat".
In total, the camp managed to win four meal tickets after Stanley and Shappi failed their challenge.
It was explained that campmates in possession of a meal ticket would eat well with everyone else on basic rations. The campmates had to decide who should be allocated a meal ticket as they were not allowed to share meals.
