Joel Dommett taking family to Australia
I'm A Celebrity: Unpacked host Joel Dommett will be joined in Australia by his wife and son this year.
Joel Dommett is taking his family to Australia while he hosts I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked.
The 40-year-old comic will be joined Down Under for the first time by wife Hannah Cooper and their four-year-old son Wilde and he's "really excited" to be able to share the experience with them.
He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “This year I’m taking my family with me, so it’s going to be great getting home from work and being able to see them and Wilde learning how to swim and all of that stuff. I’m really excited for them to be there. Hopefully I can enjoy a bit of family time before I have to go to bed at 3pm in the afternoon.”
Joel is also relieved to have his wife with him for more practical reasons.
He admitted: “Every year halfway through the run, I realise I’ve run out of clothes and I have to go to the nearest town to buy lots of stuff. I never take enough, my wife despairs at my packing. At some point, you have to understand that you have to wash your pants and do a washing run every five days.”
Meanwhile, the Masked Singer host revealed 2022 I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Seann Walsh will be among the guests on Unpacked.
He said: "I’ve known him for years and years. I’ll always remember that Seann was in a competition with me on my fourth ever gig, he went through to the semi finals and I didn’t. So he beat me in a competition and rightly so, he was better at comedy than me. We’ve buried the hatchet now.”
Former Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott will also be on the programme.
Joel said: “Our last Queen of the Jungle, Jill Scott came out last year and she’s just so lovely and so funny and also an incredible athlete. It’s a mad thing, you forget that alongside this she’s also an incredible football player. I’m excited to hear what she thinks about the new campmates."
