BBC 6 Music funk specialist Craig Charles is set to take part in the new series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, alongside British rap favourite Tinchy Stryder.
The ITV series will return on Sunday 16 November at 9pm. According to the Mirror, The Coronation Street star will be joining a confirmed group which includes rapper Tinchy Stryder, Vicki Michelle of 'Allo 'Allo and Superbike racer Carl Fogarty.
Speaking to the Mirror, Charles said: "I signed up because it's an adventure, isn't it?"
Charles hosts the Funk and Soul Show on BBC Radio 6 and will be broadcasting a special edition on Australian Funk and Soul next Saturday at 6pm.
He went on to say that: "Obviously I will miss my wife and kids, miss the football, and reading and writing, you can't read in there. That will be difficult I suppose."
Other rumoured participants in the series iniclude Tulisa Constostavios and Liam Gallagher but frankly we'll believe both only when they touch down in Murwillumbah.
