Just days before the much-awaited launch of ITV's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2023, fans have discovered a past social media spat between two 'confirmed' celebs dating back to 2017.
The reported final cast for the 23rd season includes some big names from daytime TV, pop music, and even politics.
However, First Dates star Fred Sirieix and former UKIP leader turned GB News host Nigel Farage, who are part of this year's rumoured line-up, might not get off to the best start due to their previous Twitter row.
Fred had once labelled Nigel a "coward" on social media, accusing the ex-politician of being fond of "money and attention". This comes as Farage is reportedly being offered over £1million for the jungle gig.
In 2017, Fred took to Twitter to express his views about Nigel, and said: "Farage is a coward who likes money, attention and the sound of his own voice far too much. Definitely not a selfless idealistic revolutionary."
These tweets have resurfaced as Fred is rumoured to be joining I'm A Celeb. In 2018, he tweeted that he asked a taxi driver to switch off the radio when he heard Farage's voice, adding to several more posts about Nigel. Fans were shocked by their previous disagreement, with one fan saying they "won't be watching" due to the feud. Some fans compared Farage's upcoming appearance to Hancock's last year, hinting at lots of 'questioning and arguments'.
The new season of I'm A Celeb is starting soon, kicking off on November 19 with a 105-minute special. ITV bosses have confirmed that the show will start in less than two weeks. Ten celebs are expected to enter the jungle, hoping to be crowned king or queen.
Among those rumoured to be joining are ex-politician Nigel Farage, jockey Frankie Dettori, This Morning's Josie Gibson, Ex-EastEnder Danielle Harold, First Dates star Fred Sirieix, Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson, and JLS singer Marvin Humes.
The new series of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is set to be a star-studded affair, with famous faces from daytime TV, music, and even politics signing up for the jungle challenge. The pressure is on to make this year's show as successful as the last, which saw former MP Matt Hancock and footballer Jill Scott battling it out for the crown.
In a surprising twist, show bosses are reportedly hoping that US actress Jamie Lynn Spears will spill some family secrets about her famous sister Britney. Jamie Lynn, who has had a rocky relationship with her pop star sibling, is expected to be a fascinating addition to the camp when she flies out to Australia for the ITV show.
Britney recently labelled Jamie Lynn a "total b***h" in her memoir, claiming that her younger sister didn't help her enough during her struggles with their father's strict conservatorship. An insider told The Mirror that viewers can expect Jamie Lynn to open up about her family drama and the controversial conservatorship during her time in the jungle.
I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off on November 19 on ITV.
