I’m a Celebrity: Jordan North ‘becomes final celebrity to join 2020 line-up’

Fellow radio presenter Greg James joked about the rumours on Twitter

The final celebrity to join the 2020 line-up of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is Radio 1 DJ Jordan North, according to reports.

The Sun claims the presenter joins other contestants such as EastEnders star Shane Richie, Olympic champion Mo Farah and Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard on the show. ITV is expected to confirm who is on the official line-up this weekend.

Fellow radio presenter Greg James joked: “If the rumours about @jordannorth1 doing I’m A Celeb are true then it’s the MOST Jordan North thing ever that he’ll miss out on going to Australia and will instead be stuck in a castle in Wales. In winter.”

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s I’m A Celebrity is taking place in Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales, rather than Murwillumbah in New South Wales, Australia.

Presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will return as hosts for the show's premiere on 15 November.

Ant and Dec will take on their first ever Bushtucker Trial in celebration of I'm a Celebrity’s 20th anniversary.

The ITV show's hosts flipped roles for a new special set to be broadcast a week before the next series begins.

These trials typically see contestants undertake a challenging, often fear-inducing, task involving creepy crawlies.

It has now been revealed that the pair have taken on three trials, one of which sees McPartlin attempt to eat a fish eye.
