Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver will reportedly appear in the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The 59-year-old soap star who plays Eileen Grimshaw in the ITV series agreed to go into the jungle next month after being offered a large paycheck.

A source told The sun: ‘Sue is a much loved street legend and the bosses are delighted to have her in the lineup this year.

“She will be a brilliant asset and she’s looking forward to really stepping out of her comfort zone and challenging herself in the jungle.”

An ITV spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘We will announce our line-up closer to the show’s broadcast.’

MailOnline has reached out to a Sue representative for comment.

Sue made her debut on Corrie in 2000 alongside actors Ryan Thomas and Bruno Langley playing her sons.

MailOnline exclusively announced last week that singer Boy George has signed up for this year’s series.

Other stars listed as possible contestants include radio DJ Chris Moyles, former Love Island star Olivia Attwood, comedian Seann Walsh and Hollyoaks star Owen Warner.

And a new video teasing the highly anticipated program showed a helicopter flying over the cloudy sky over Australia as Dec was heard saying, “Where’s the luggage going?”

Ant then shouted, “It’ll meet us there!”

The iconic show’s theme song started when a suitcase fell from the helicopter into the Australian jungle.

The reality show returns to the Australian jungle for the first time in three years after it was held at Gwrych Castle in North Wales due to travel restrictions due to the pandemic.

In a statement, ITV confirmed the show’s return: “Autumn also brings I’m A Celebrity, which is a welcome return to ITV from the Australian jungle.”

In the 2021 series, Danny Miller was crowned King of the Castle, while Giovanna Fletcher was the first person to win the Welsh version of the show the year before.

Funny: the clip shows a helicopter flying over the cloudy sky over Australia, while Dec can be heard saying, “Where does the luggage go?”
