ITV has revealed the full lineup for the latest season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! which starts Monday 16th November, at 9:00 pm on ITV1 and ITVX, and features rising comedy star Jack Skipper.

Now in its 26th series, the show, set in New South Wales, Australia, will run for three weeks, and will be hosted by Ant and Dec.

Jack – who has been described by critic Bruce Dessau as the next Micky Flanagan, is on tour with his show Nothing Heavy through 2027, tickets here. He said it has still not sunk in that he will be on I’m a Celeb, and added his family are even more excited than he is.

Jack explained: ‘We come from a very humble background and it’s exciting for everyone. My mum will be glued to the show every single night. I’ve watched this programme for years and so I said yes straight away. I am most excited about mixing with a good bunch. I was fitting carpets a few years ago, so I will be a bit starstruck when I am in camp. It’s crazy. It is going to be a very surreal, pinch me moment standing in front of Ant and Dec in camp. I don’t think it will sink in until I am there.’

However, the performer from Sutton, South London, appears confident about the show’s challenges as he added: ‘I would most like to do the eating trial. I am never going to have another opportunity to eat testicles, so let’s do it. I’ve also jumped out of a plane before and that was a great experience.’

One thing the comedian does not want to get caught up in is any drama around the campfire. He said: ‘If I get bored, I might start creating some sort of game. I will have to do something. But no, I don’t want to get caught up in the drama either. I hope I can hold it together.’

• Ade Adepitan - Paralympian and documentary maker.
