The first rumoured contestant for I’m A Celeb 2021 has been revealed.
The popular show will return to Gwrych Castle in Wales for the second year in a row due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to The Mirror, former Strictly Come Dancing judge Dame Arlene Phillips has signed up for the series.
The 78-year-old would be the oldest contestant to ever appear on the show, as well as the first contestant to hold the title of Dame.
A source told the publication: “Arlene is strong and tough and her energy is boundless.”
“No doubt she’ll have the group dancing around the campfire in a bid to beat the cold and keep morale high. Should be fun.”
Arlene judged Strictly Come Dancing prior to being replaced by Alicia Dixon in 2009.
The news comes after Ant & Dec revealed they had started for the new season of I’m A Celeb.
The presenting duo, who host the show, wrote on Instagram last week: “Guess where we’ve just popped to for a little bit of filming 🤔 🏴 #IAC2021.”
