HAMPSHIRE celebrity Esther Rantzen, pictured, is about to be catapulted into the heart of the Australian jungle to begin her stint on grisly reality show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.
The former That’s Life presenter and founder of Childline may be expected to dine on bugs and lizards or be showered with spiders if put forward for the dreaded bushtucker trials. In previous years the celebrities have arrived by parachute, canoe and even in a box although as yet it is unclear how 68-year-old Esther will be arriving.
Those joining Esther, of the New Forest, include Star Trek’s Mr Sulu George Takei, former police boss Brian Paddick, chatshow host Robert Kilroy-Silk and tennis ace Martina Natratilova.
The eighth series of the show hits our TV screens at 9pm tomorrow on ITV1 and ITV2.
