Actress Sue Cleaver, best known for playing Coronation Street's Eileen Grimshaw, was pictured in Australia on early on Wednesday, October 26. The soap star wore a leopard print cap and matching top as she was snapped at the airport.
According to The Mirror, Sue said: "I love visiting Australia," before getting into a waiting car and declining to answer further questions about the show. A day earlier Olivia Attwood, who starred in the 2018 series of Love Island, landed in Brisbane.
Olivia spoke about her biggest fears when at the airport. She said: "I am scared of me, in terms of how long the other campmates can tolerate me. I will get myself in trouble somehow, the usual."
She added: "My friends and family have always wanted me to do this show so let's see how it goes. I love Ant and Dec, I have grown up watching them. They are British TV Icons."
The reality television star will be joining radio DJ Chris Moyles Down Under, who also spoke about his trip. Asked if he was looking forward to spending time in Australia, Chris said: "It should be nice, fingers crossed anyway," reports The Mirror.
Quizzed if he was scared of things in the jungle like snakes and spiders he joked: "There's lots of everything in this country, like sport and beer and I am not scared of sport or beer. So I think I will be alright."
He then added: "I have absolutely no idea what my family and friends would think of me doing a show like I'm A Celebrity. I have never asked them. But I think they would be much more nervous about me doing Antiques Roadshow."
Joining the growing rota of stars on Wednesday, October 26, is Hollyoaks actor, Owen Warner. He spoke to awaiting media at the airport saying he was 'hoping for romance' in the camp. He said: ""I love a bit of camping when the weather is nice."
But he admitted: "I am scared of all sorts to be fair. Snakes aren't a bit of me! I don't know why I have come to Australia! Snakes and spiders everywhere aren't they?" The star, who plays Romeo Nightingale in the Channel 4 soap, said that his mother, Polly would be the one to miss him most. “I will give her a little one of these [makes a half heart with his hand] it is half a love heart and she does the other half.”
Footballer Jill Scott has also been spotted at Brisbane airport, as of Thursday, October 27. The Lioness, who retired in August following her team's historic victory at the European Championship, disembarked at the Down Under airport to awaiting photographers and reporters.
Other rumoured stars in the line-up include Boy George, Tom Daley and former rugby player Mike Tindall. You can see the rumoured line-up in full here. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
