Is Seann Walsh doing I'm A Celebrity? Comedian absent from launch show after being 'confirmed'

There was some mystery surrounding Sunday night's I'm A Celebrity as Seann Walsh was 'missing in action' from the show, despite being 'confirmed' for the show.

When the line-up for the new series was 'leaked' last month, comedian and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant was on the lost, alongside the likes of Boy George, Sue Cleaver and Mike Tindall. But, while all those three's names appeared on the official I'm A Celebrity line-up when it was announced by ITV, Seann's name wasn't.

As his name was linked to the new series, sources reported that producers are hoping he'll open up about his Strictly scandal in the jungle

While he did stay on the show for a few weeks, it was his kiss with pro partner Katya Jones on a night out that made headlines for all the wrong reasons, as comedian Seann went behind his girlfriend's back.

Is Seann Walsh going in I'm A Celebrity?

While he hasn't actually been pictured in Australia, it is widely believed that Seann will go into the jungle as a late arrival, alongside controversial signing, Matt Hancock.

There have been a series of I'm A Celebrity late arrivals over the year, including Simon Gregson and Adam Woodyatt, with the soap veterans going into the castle last year, midway through the first week, before Simon made it all the way to the final.

Other newcomers over the years include Noel Edmonds, Russell Watson, Ruthie Henshall and 2015 winner Vicky Pattison.
