I’m A Celebrity hopeful Shona McGarty made a telling comment after touching down in Brisbane ahead of this year’s contest in the Australian jungle
As this year’s I’m A Celebrity campmates starting arriving Down Under, EastEnders star Shona McGarty had a few choice words. The actress, 34, who is best known for playing the part of Whitney Dean between 2008 and 2024 has landed in Brisbane ahead of next week’s start date.
She touched down wearing a bright pink shirt, black cycling shorts and a baseball cap after the long haul journey. However, there was one noticeable omission from her outfit.
Shona was clearly not wearing any engagement ring following a rumoured split from fiance David Bracken. The pair got engaged last year but are said to have called it quits due to apparently “wanting different things” and being “better off as friends”.

Now, in a telling comment at Brisbane airport, Shona told us there was “not a lot” she would miss about the UK during her stint in Australia. She went on to joke: “I’ve got on the wrong flight.”
With the star still not officially able to confirm her I’m A Celebrity appearance, she said she must now ask for directions to get back home. She then admitted she would love to see a kangaroo. “I’ve never seen one in my life,” she said.
Shona’s arrival comes after Kelly Brook was also spotted at Brisbane airport. Speaking to the Mirror, the model and presenter said: “It was a long flight.
“I am going to miss my dog Teddy and my husband Jeremy, and my food in general. I am looking forward to seeing my Auntie Sheila and distant cousin – I haven’t seen her for a long time.”
The 45-year-old star added: “I am not sure how I feel about sleeping under the stars – hopefully I will have a spare room. I am looking forward to seeing koalas and the kangaroos.”
Taking part in the show marks a huge U-turn in her thoughts process. Kelly previously said in 2018 that there would be “a million” things she would rather do than head into the jungle.
Speaking on her Heart radio show at the time, she said: “I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there. Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.”
Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley has also already arrived in Australia, while other famous faces set to take the long trip Down Under include YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle, known as Angryginge. Musician Martin Kemp, comedian Ruby Wax, TV presenter Alex Scott and Jack Osbourne are also in line to feature.
They are expected to be joined by comedian Eddie Kadi, rapper Aitch, and presenter Vogue Williams. The formally announced line-up is set to be confirmed by ITV in the coming days.
As per usuals, two names will be missing from the announcement. This is due to the latecomer selection that always rocks the camp days into their new adventure.
