I'm A Celebrity: Andrew Maxwell 'joins line-up as surprise addition' as he arrives in Australia – Daily Mail, Dailymail.co.uk

Comedian Andrew Maxwell has reportedly joined the line-up for this year I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! as he touched down in Australia on Monday morning.

The Ex on the Beach narrator, 44, beamed with delight as he strolled through Brisbane Airport ahead of his rumored stint in the famous jungle, scheduled to kick off with a new series on November 17.

Funnyman Andrew is said to be the third contestant to jet Down Under after reality star Caitlyn Jenner and former footballer Ian Wright arrived in Queensland’s capital hours earlier.

The award-winning comedian opted for a casual appearance as he dressed down in a plain white T-shirt, classic indigo jeans and box-fresh trainers.

According toThe Mirror, the Irish star refused to take his sunglasses off when asked by photographers as he claimed ‘no one will know who I am anyway ‘.

Sharing his fears about the show, Andrew reportedly added: ‘Snakes but I am going to fight them. We don’t have snakes in Ireland and you should never trust an animal without shoulders who can’t shrug. ‘

Boasting nearly three decades in the industry, the London-based celeb rose to fame as a regular guest on RTE One’s The Panel, and has since starred in panel shows such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Mock The Week.

MailOnline has contacted Andrew’s representatives and an ITV spokesperson for further comment.

Hours earlier, former KUWTK star Caitlyn seemingly confirmed the relentless rumors that she is appearing in the show.

Ex-sportsman Ian was also seen pushing his luggage through the arrivals terminal. Both stars’ names were on the leaked ‘official’ line-up that revealed the roster of celebrities thought to be heading into the jungle next weekend.

Caitlyn, 70, was seen boarding a plane in Los Angeles on Saturday, and was sporting the same ensemble she departed in as she strutted throughBrisbane‘s arrivals lounge.

Nailing airport chic, the former Olympian – who is reportedly earning an eye-watering £ 500, 000 (approx USD $ 640, 000) fee – opted for a white jumper and wide-leg trousers for the lengthy flight.

She was spotted making her way to Australia’sbusiness check-in counter on Saturday with just a small carry-on and handbag as she prepared to jet out of LAX, while two large suitcases were whisked off to be loaded onto the plane.

Former Crystal Palace and Arsenal footballer Ian, 56, looked fresh after the long-haul flight, seen pushing his luggage through arrivals.

He wore a cap, a black Tee and his glasses as he headed through the terminal, garnering attention from other travelers at the airport.

As the reality TV maven and sports pundit landed, hosts of the show Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly posted a selfie together, having already arrived with their perspective spouses – marking the first time the pair are back on set together in two years, following Ant’s hiatus due to personal struggles.

The boys looked delighted to be back as they grinned in front of a row of palm trees, Ant looking healthy following his drink-drive drama, painkiller addiction and public divorce.

This comes afterCaitlynadmitted that she ‘doesn’t know how the showworks’ ahead of her rumored appearance.

Teasing the I’m A Celebrity rumors, Caitlyn toldThe Sun: ‘I am not allowed to talk about this until next week. I am not sure what I can say. I am not allowed to say anything. ‘

The star was then reportedly wished well during her stint on the show, to which she added:’ Thank you. I don’t know how it works! ‘

It’s thought she will not speak about her gender reassignment while on the show.

She said in a recent interview withThe Mirror: ‘It is not something I talk about. Yes, I had gender confirmation and that for me was important. For many trans people it is not important to them. But for me it was. Femininity and womanhood is in your brain and in your soul. That is the issue.

‘It is not what is between your legs. So yes, I had it done. But that is all out of respect to me, my privacy but also respect to the community. It is really not something you talk about. ‘

BBC Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, Rak-Su’s Myles Stephenson, GMB’s Kate Garraway and EastEnders starlet Jacqueline Jossa are supposedly set to join Caitlyn and Ian on the show.

Adele Roberts, who DJs on BBC Radio 1, first found fame when she starred in Big Brother.

A source toldThe Sun: ‘Adele’s really excited to go into the jungle. She missed her show on Thursday to fly out to Australia.

‘Bosses reckon she’s going to make fantastic television and will really get stuck into camp life.’

Another controversial signing could be Rak-Su’s Myles Stephenson following his split from Love Island star Gabby Allen, both 27.

The X Factor winner made headlines when it was claimed that he had been dumped for exchanging flirty messages with other women on Instagram.

Taking to Instagram, the Love Island star then urged fans to offer up any information they may have regarding her ex, after it was claimed he had cheated on her.

Confirming their break-up, she penned: ‘The news paper articles are true. I am no longer in a relationship. I hope youse have all had a better week than me! ‘

Gabby also referenced the fact she has been told information about their relationship, before asking others to do the same, adding:’ If anyone else has anything they need to tell me, please do. ‘

Kate, 52, was tipped to enter the jungle last year but was said to have pulled out of the series just weeks before filming was due to start.

Now the Good Morning Britain host has been tipped to make an epic return, with Kate herself fuelling the fires.

Last month she was teased about ‘kangaroo testicles’ by her GMB co-host Ben Shephard, 44.

The presenter was left a little flustered when Ben referred to the infamous Bushtucker Trials – in which celebs have to eat gruesome creepy crawlies.

Ben initially teased: ‘I can’t wait for you to go away for a month.’

‘I can neither confirm nor deny,’ Kate replied, before Ben said: ‘What’s the cryptic clue for that one? Kangaroo testic -? ‘

The laughing presenter then said:’ What ?! Hello. It’s Friday, but it’s not that kind of Friday! ‘

The mother-of-two has previously teased that her children Darcey, 13, and William, ten, are desperate to see her on the popular ITV program.

Jacqueline, 26, is also tipped for a jungle stint, which supposedly lead totalks about joining X Factor: Celebrity ‘fizzled out’.

Jacqueline, whose husband Dan Osborne appeared on Celebrity Big Brother last year, is allegedly thinking about making her reality TV debut, according to theDaily Star.

A source revealed: ‘Jacqueline will not be appearing in on Celebrity X Factor. She did have initial meetings about the possibility but it was decided that things wouldn’t be taken any further.

‘As a result she had also sat down with ITV about the prospect of going on I’ m A Celeb. As ever, line-ups aren’t locked in until closer the time but it is looking more than likely she will be heading Down Under. ‘

The Sunclaims Nadine Coyle will be heading down under as TV bosses are keen to hear about the Girls Aloud feud.

A TV insider told the publication: ‘Her link to Cheryl makes her an even more exciting prospect. It’s no secret there’s no love lost between them, and Nadine is refreshingly honest about what went on from her perspective.

After confessing that he’d happily do a stint in the jungle, it appears that Roman Kemp could be getting his dream come true, as he is pipped to be in this year line up.

The radio host is said to have caught producers eyes, as the son of Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp and Wham! star Shirley has a plethora of showbiz pals.

Back in 2017, Roman told Digital Spy: ‘The only reality show I would do is I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! purely because I would get a holiday and get to see Ant & Dec every day! ‘
