Who is Andy Whyment? Meet I'm a Celebrity South Africa contestant
The Corrie actor could be joining the famous campmates on I'm a Celebrity... South Africa – but will they invite him to dinner?
ITV's I'm a Celebrity South Africa series continued tonight, with Ant and Dec surprising the famous campmates with a late arrival – and not all of them were happy with the gift.
Gillian McKeith joined the South African camp at the end of yesterday's episode and tonight, we watched as she got to know her fellow celebrities – although her and Shaun Ryder were well acquainted from their fractious days in the 2010 jungle.
The TV personality isn't the only surprise star who'll be turning up in the Savanna however, with the teaser for tomorrow night's episode revealing that the campmates will be choosing between three new famous faces to join them for dinner: Georgia Toffolo, Myleene Class or Andy Whyment.
I'm a Celeb fans will remember Coronation Street star Andy Whyment from the 2019 series, during which he placed second behind Jacqueline Jossa, but what has he been up to since?
Here's everything you need to know about Andy Whyment before he returns to the Jungle.
