Former royal butler Paul Burrell says he's doing I'm a Celebrity for 'gay dads struggling with their sexuality'

I'm A Celebrity... South Africa will see the return of some of the most memorable campmates from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! over the years in the brand new setting of South Africa. All of the campmates in this 'all-star' series previously survived the Australian jungle, but South Africa will prove to be a harder proposition which will push them to their limits and test them like never before.

According to show bosses, the challenges are bigger and tougher and the environment harsher and more unforgiving. With no public vote this time, as the ITV show was filmed last year, they will be competing against each other in a battle to become the first ever 'I'm A Celebrity Legend'.

Among the famous faces running the gauntlet will be former royal butler Paul Burrell, who came out as gay following his divorce from Maria Cosgrove his wife of 32 years. In 2017, Paul, who has two sons with his ex-wife, announced he was marrying his partner Graham Cooper. Paul, who was described as Princess Diana’s 'rock', was runner-up in the fourth series of I'm a Celeb in 2004.
