Joe Swash is reportedly heading back to I'm A Celebrity
The former 'EastEnders' actor - who won the 2008 series and went onto host its ITV2 sister show for a decade until 2019 - is said to be lined up to return to the reality show for its special All Stars version, which will be pre-recorded to air in 2023.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "Joe was always on the producers' hit list as he was such an iconic winner.
"But they had to iron out the timings and came to a conclusion that worked.
"He has flown out there and can't wait to give a good account of himself for a second time on the show."
According to the outlet, Joe is currently filming at Kruger National Park.
The report comes after his wife Stacey Solomon hinted he was abroad for a work trip, as she shared a photo of herself with son Rex, three, and daughter Rose, who turns one next week.
She wrote: "Since Joe's been away the last couple of weeks, these two have got so close to each other and every morning they get into bed with me."
'I'm A Celebrity' presenters Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly recently confirmed the spin-off series as they shared a video from South Africa.
Dec said in the video: "We can confirm we're doing a very special series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa. Look at this joint."
Ant quipped: "Nobody told me,” before saying: “We’re here, aren’t we?”
Dec continued: "It's going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time in South Africa."
The Geordie due also teased the debut date of this year’s main 'I'm A Celebrity' run, which is returning Down Under after two years in North Wales’ Gwrych Castle, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ant asked his long-running co-star: "But are we going to Australia, Declan?"
Dec replied: "Yes we are. This year we are going back. Normal Australia 2022 and South Africa 2023."
