Fan favourite Andy Whyment has revealed he will be returning to Coronation Street after he was eliminated from I'm A Celebrity... South Africa on Monday, May 8.
The star left the show- alongside Made in Chelsea star Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo - after losing a task against Jordan Banjo and Myleene Klass.
Andy, who is known as Kirk Sutherland on Coronation Street, explained that soap remains his main priority, reports Birmingham Live.
He said: "I’ve seen a lot of people come and go, thinking they’re going to go on to bigger and better things but Corrie for me is my number one, it always has and always will be."
He added: “I grew up watching it as a kid and when I drive up to those barriers in the morning and they lift them up, I think ‘I'm still working on Coronation Street'.
“If I’d told myself growing up I’d be there 23 years, it’s amazing and touch wood many more years to come. I have a great work life balance, I go in, do my job and I love the banter that we have on set and long may it continue.”
Speaking after leaving the camp, Toff said: "I got on really well with everyone, especially with the girls. I am going to say I really did miss Stanley Johnson.
"I never thought I would say that, but I really did. I think when you make a special friend like I did last time, you're seeking it out. I love the company of older people, I think it's a privilege to be around them."
Toff added: "And whether it was Carol Vorderman, I loved her because when the days were dragging on, we'd sit and talk about anything that would sort of satisfy our intellectual hunger, which was so nice. I got on really well with Paul Burrell. I mean, the stories about the royals are so up my street.
"I think I now know everything about the royal family, which is amazing. I wouldn't say there was one person in particular this time, it felt like we were all sort of collaboratively getting on really well."
