OHMYGOSSIP — Dean Gaffney and Joe Swash are to join the ‘I’m A Celebrity… South Africa’ camp on Tuesday night (02.05.23).
The former ‘EastEnders’ stars will arrive on screen mid-way through tonight’s episode, and 45-year-old actor Dean is hoping he doesn’t embarrass his twin daughters Charlotte and Chloe, 27, in any trials.
Dean – who played Robbie Jackson in the BBC One soap – said: “My daughters were ten when I did the Australian jungle and they didn’t care if I screamed or not.
“They are 27 now and I think if I was screaming they would be a bit embarrassed.”
Joe – who starred as Mickey Miller in ‘EastEnders’ – hopes his kids, son Rex, three, and 14-month-old daughter Rose, who he has with TV presenter Stacey Solomon, and son Harry, 16 – from a previous relationship – will be watching his South African adventure.
The 41-year-old star said: “My eldest son, Harry, was one when I did the jungle and he is 16 now!
“I want the kids to watch ‘I’m A Celebrity… South Africa’ and for both of us to be able to tell them ‘I’m A Celebrity’ is where mummy and daddy met.
“The jungle is always going to be a big part of our family.”
Stacey won ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ in 2010, and Joe met her when he was presenting spin-off show ‘Extra Camp’.
Joe – who was King of the Jungle in 2008 – has admitted taking part in this year’s series is “closure” for his time on ‘I’m A Celebrity’.
He said: “‘I’m A Celebrity’ holds a big place in my heart. I won it and I was lucky enough to go on to present the spin-off series on ITV2 for 10 years.
“I met Stacey whilst I was out in Australia and me and Stacey have now married and we have had kids. Doing the all-stars series is closure. It finishes off the circle.”
‘I’m A Celebrity… South Africa’ airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX, and on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player in Ireland.
