ITV I'm A Celebrity line-up 2022: Strictly Come Dancing's Seann Walsh and Gogglebox star in line-up

Comedian and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Seann Walsh is reported to be in the new line-up for the 2022 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The hit ITV show will return to out screens this winter.

Reports suggest the comedian is the latest name set to sign up to head down under. During his time on the hit BBC show in 2018, Seann was pictured kissing his married dance partner Katya Jones. At the time, Seann and Katya both issued statements on Twitter apologising for their actions and offering the reasoning that they were 'drunk' and it was a 'one-off'.

According to the Mirror, ITV bosses reportedly hope that the funny man could open up during the long days in camp when the show returns to the Australian rainforest for the first time in three years. A source told The Sun: "Seann is an incredible signing for I'm A Celebrity and it’s a real coup for ITV."

The comic becomes the latest name to be linked with the hit ITV show after I'm A Celebrity bosses have reportedly broken their previous ban on Love Island stars joining the line-up. Olivia Attwood is said to be heading into the Australian jungle to take part in the celebrity endurance show.

It comes after Boy George was reported to be joining the new cast for the 2022 series. The Karma Chameleon singer is said to have secured the highest payment in the ITV show's history.

And Celebrity Gogglebox star Babatúndé Aléshé is another name expected to make the long flight to Australia. The comedian is known for his funny one-liners on pal Mo Gilligan's sofa on the Channel 4 series.
