Noel Edmonds is officially joining the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here jungle! The former Deal or No Deal host is a late arrival and will be joining the ten other campmates, currently battling with the creepy crawlies, in a matter of days.
Noel is reportedly the highest paid contestant ever, wracking up a mega £600,000 for his jungle stint.
The 69-year-old has been a household name for the last 40 years after starting his career on BBC Radio 1. He’s also known for presenting Top of the Pops and Noel’s House Party in the ‘90s before becoming the host of Channel 4 game show Deal or No Deal.
Speaking ahead of his jungle appearance, the TV favourite revealed a near Strictly Come Dancing stint – before opting out of the ballroom show due to the Strictly curse.
The infamous Strictly curse has previously seen contestants split from their long-term loves and embark on relationships with their dance partners.
Following the revelation of Noel’s arrival in Oz, countless viewers have taken to social media to praise telly bosses on their pretty amazing choice of signing.
Declan Donnelly is currently presenting the show alongside Holly Willoughby while Ant McPartlin takes a year off his TV duties.
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! continues tonight (November 22) at 9pm on ITV, followed immediately thereafter by Extra Camp on ITV2.
