Matty J Confirmed as First Contestant on I'm A Celebrity

Matty 'J' Johnson, a former contestant on The Bachelor, has been announced as the first celebrity heading into the South African jungle for the upcoming season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! This revelation was made during an episode of his wife Laura Byrne's Life Uncut podcast, where Matty humorously shared his excitement about surviving in the jungle by eating unusual foods. He expressed his long-awaited desire to participate in the show, which he finally got the chance to do after years of anticipation. Fans are eager to see him in action, especially after the network inadvertently leaked details about another potential campmate, TV host Nicky Buckley. The new season is set to premiere on Sunday, with more contestants yet to be announced. Julia Morris and Robert Irwin will return as hosts for this year's installment.
