Corrie star becomes third star to land in Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity

The launch of the show is sooner than you think

The third I’m A Celebrity star has been confirmed as Coronation Street icon Sue Cleaver. The actress was pictured touching down in Australia early on Wednesday morning, ahead of the launch of the new series. The 59-year-old was the third person to land in Australia and essentially confirm themselves to be appearing on the ITV show. She was seen emerging from Brisbane airport just hours after DJ Chris Moyles and Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood became the first two stars to land in Australia for the new series.

The start date of I’m A Celebrity has reportedly been revealed and it is sooner than you think. The new series, which will return to Australia for the first time since 2019, thanks to the pandemic, is said to be set to start on Sunday, November 6. That would mean the launch of the new series is just a fortnight away. The new series of the ITV show has been pushed forward due to the Qatar World Cup, which will start on November 20, The Sun reports.
