Asked what his friend's strengths and weaknesses are, Andi responded: "At the moment, ITV have put them in isolation on top of the rules of Australia, to make sure they are Covid safe. I think this is the bit he's going to struggle with, just being by himself for 10 days, because he loves to chat."
Chris will join Love Island star Olivia Attwood, former professional rugby player and royal family member Mike Tindall and Boy George in the jungle. Other contestants include Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver and Loose Women's Charlene White. You can see the line-up in full here.
Also set to join the campmates as a wild card is former health secretary Matt Hancock. The MP was suspended by the tory party as the news broke, you can read more on this here.
