Joe Swash ‘has flown out to South Africa to film I’m A Celebrity All Stars series’

The highly anticipated I’m A Celeb All Stars series will hit our TV screens next year.

And it is reported that Joe Swash, the former king of the jungle who also hosted the popular spin-off show of the series, flew to South Africa to participate.

The ex EastEnders actor won the ITV series in 2008 and later hosted the spin-off show for ten years, and his wife Stacey Solomon teased that he is currently not home filming for a new job.

The star, who recently married X Factor singer and former Jungle 2010 Queen Stacey, hopes to become the first double winner by taking part in the All Stars show.

A source told The sun: ‘Joe was always on the producers’ charts because he was such an iconic winner. But they had to smooth out the timing and came to a conclusion that worked.

“He flew there and can’t wait to get a good picture of himself for the second time on the show.”

Stacey, who Joe shares two children with son Rex, three, and daughter Rose, revealed he went on a business trip in one of her regular Insta updates.

The Loose Women panelist shared a photo on her Instagram last week, writing: “Since Joe has been away for the past few weeks, these two have gotten so close and every morning they crawl into bed with me.”

Joe will reportedly be joined by Myleene Klass, Jordan Banjo and Paul Burrell for the pre-recorded series that airs next year.
