Seann Walsh's pregnant girlfriend arrives in Oz ahead of first I'm A Celebrity eviction

Seann Walsh's pregnant girlfriend has arrived in Australia ahead of the first I'm A Celebrity eviction on Friday.

Grace Adderley was pictured arrived in Brisbane today, in order to greet the comedian whenever he comes out of the jungle.

Wearing a brown, floaty dress, Grace smiled as she walked through the arrivals terminal.

The dance teacher has been dating Seann, 36, since 2019 and the pair announced in October that they are expecting a baby.

Grace pushed three cases of luggage through the airport, before heading to her accomodation.

Seann announced that he was going to be a dad on an Instagram Live with a friend.

He said: "I'm having a child."

His friend responded: "So you're gonna be a dad?"

After Seann replied with "yeah", his pal quipped: "That's worrying."

The comedian went on to joke: "Unbelievable. Everyone else has been really nice, that's the worst response yet."

"You're going to have a lot more worries," his friend pointed out.

Seann added: "That's the one thing I need in life actually, I don't think I've had enough worries."

Grace persuaded Seann to sign up to I'm A Celebrity, the comedian has previously said.

The TV star is best known for kissing his married Strictly Come Dancing partner, Katya Jones, in 2018, which caused a huge scandal, and Seann hopes his jungle stint will change the public's perception of him.

“Grace is the main reason why I am doing I’m A Celebrity,” said Seann.

“As you can imagine I was very scared after the last time I was on a big show because the fallout was not something you would want to go back to.

"Grace talked me into doing it. She convinced me it was the wrong attitude to have, not doing it because I feared what people would think, but to do it because I would have a wonderful time."

Referring to the Strictly incident which led to him splitting from then girlfriend Rebecca Humphries, he added: "People have voiced their feelings about me and I am hoping they will see I am very different. I want to create new memories.

“I want to make some new friends and new memories and have a nice time”.

Seann has said the Strictly incident and the fallout severely damaged his mental health.

Despite his pain, his comedy shows have continued to do well in recent years.

His Edinburgh show this year 'Seann Walsh: Is Dead. Happy Now?' Was nominated for the Best Comedy show award.

Friday's episode will see the first contestant evicted from I'm A Celeb jungle, but before that Matt Hancock were able to escape to the beach after winning a challenge.

The trio were pictured having fun in the sun, and the MP took on the role of chef.

This meant Owen Warner has missed out on Surf and Turf on the beach - despite his fellow contestants trying to help him win a place by putting his name on extra balls which were drawn out.
