All Stars, or I’m a celebrity, are said to be returning, and there is rumor that a former Strictly Come Dancing star has been in talks with ITV to make an appearance.
A former Strictly Come Dancing contestant is said to be in talks to appear on I’m A Celebrity spin-off All Stars. Seann Walsh was a campmate in the jungle almost three years ago, but he’s now reportedly considering a return.
Seann, 39, was a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity in 2022. He entered the jungle in Australia alongside former politician Matt Hancock, and they later joined the main camp. The comedian went on to place fifth on the ITV show that year.
He had expressed hope that his stint on the show would change public opinion following a scandal during his time on Strictly four years prior. Seann had been photographed kissing his dance partner, Katya Jones, on a night out in 2018, despite both being in relationships with other people. They both apologised at the time for their behaviour.
It’s now reported that Seann is in “advanced talks” to appear on the second series of I’m a Celebrity… South Africa is often referred to as All Stars. The show, which launched in 2023, is due to be filmed in South Africa again later this year.
According to a source, Sean entered the jungle in 2022 with the intention of redeeming himself in the eyes of the audience. He did so in a respectable fifth place in the contest, according to the report, “and he did emerge as one of the more well-liked campmates.”
They went on to mention him having entered camp with Matt, who had himself made headlines over an affair with his aide, Gina Coladangelo. Speaking about Seann, the source said: “Part of the reason why he came across comparatively well was because he went into I’m A Celebrity with an even bigger love rat.”
Seann previously claimed that Grace Adderley had encouraged him to pursue I’m A Celebrity despite having been in a relationship with actor Rebecca Humphries prior to the scandal that broke during his time on Strictly in 2018. He claimed that she was his “main motivation” for doing it.
He stated in 2022 that, as you might expect, I was extremely afraid after the last time I was on a major stage because the fallout wasn’t something you wanted to experience. Grace persuaded me to do it. She persuaded me that doing it because I wanted to enjoy myself and not because I feared what people would think was the wrong attitude to adopt.
Seann, who has said that the impact of the Strictly scandal led to him experiencing panic attacks, acknowledged prior to his stint in the jungle that people had opinions on him already. Seann, who now has a daughter with Grace, said he was “hoping” viewers would see that he is “very different”.
The I’m A Celebrity spin-off, which features the return of former campmates, launched two years ago. Myleene Klass won the debut series, after being runner-up in 2006, with Jordan Banjo and Fatima Whitbread also in the final.
It’s rumoured that the show will be returning for a second series, which is reportedly due to be filmed in South Africa later this year. There has been speculation about the potential line-up recently prior to the report about Seann.
Harry Redknapp and Gemma Collins are rumoured to be returning for All Stars. Former football manager Harry won I’m A Celebrity back in 2018, whilst reality TV star Gemma appeared on the show in 2014 but quit after just a few days.
