I'm A Celebrity first as podcast launches with major camp stars at the helm

I'm A Celebrity is getting its own podcast, with former campmates Scarlett Moffatt and Seann Walsh at the helm.

The podcast will coincide with next week's launch of ITV's new show I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, which will see legendary campmates such as Paul Burrell and Carol Vorderman put through gruelling challenges once more.

I'm A Celeb winner Scarlett and comedian Seann, who famously arrived last year with controversial MP Matt Hancock, will chat about gossip from the all-stars' version of the show and interview campmates.

The podcast will go live every weeknight after each episode, which was filmed months ago, and be available on Global Player, various apps and the I'm A Celebrity YouTube channel.

Speaking about his new gig, Seann said: "I had the most amazing experience doing I'm A Celebrity last year so I can't wait to get back into the Jungle world with the first ever I'm A Celeb podcast! Scarlett and I will be discussing everything, no subjects are off limits and this time, I get to sleep in my own bed! I cannot wait!"

Meanwhile, former Gogglebox star Scarlett said: "I'm so excited to be hosting the first ever I'm A Celebrity Podcast with Seann - we both love a giggle and a natter so I can't wait to get stuck in watching episodes of I'm A Celebrity...South Africa.

"It’s amazing to see some of our favourite campmates from over the years, including my Jungle family Carol and Jordan who are going back into camp....who will be crowned 'I'm A Celebrity Legend'? I can't wait!!"

The series, which starts on Monday, stars, alongside Paul and Carol, Helen Flanagan, Shaun Ryder, Janice Dickinson, Amir Khan, Phil Tuffnell, Fatima Whitbread and Jordan Banjo.

Janice has opened up on how her second time in the camp was easier, saying: "I thought the experience, compared to Australia, was much more pleasant. The campmates were much more pleasant.

"The surroundings, there didn't seem to be that many rodents coming into the campsite like there was in Australia. I got bit by a rat in Australia. That was just like, it's still sending me to the moon with bad dreams.

"It was much easier than Australia. I'll be honest. It was easier because the people were much nicer and the setup was easier. The local setup of the camp. I think it's much better in South Africa. It seemed to be cleaner to me."

Fatima agreed but said the new challenges are harder and also warned fans they may not wait long before contestants are evicted on the new All Stars version of the show.

The Olympic athlete said: "The actual challenges are, I think are much more interesting and much more satisfying for those of us that were in there. You're not hanging around waiting because there's something that you are going to be up to do it, virtually, nearly every day."
