After weeks of clues, research and educated guesses, the very first I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here celebrity has been announced.
Matching up to the cryptic riddle from March 6, it was clear that a KIIS radio host would be headed into the jungle. While Kyle and Jackie O’s Jackie O was a top guess, she made it clear that she would not be participating in the reality show.
Then, on March 29, it was revealed that Woody Whitelaw (of Will and Woody and Celebrity Apprentice fame) would face his fears in South Africa.
“I want to teach my daughter that you should always do things that scare you. This show certainly scares me, so I’m hoping that if Daddy is brave, she can be brave too.
“Also, a free trip to South Africa – how good!” Woody said in an official statement.
During their National Drive radio show on March 20, Dr Chris Brown announced that one of the pair would be headed to the jungle.
After a weeklong battle, Will McMahon and Whitelaw duked it out to see who was more jungle ready, with Woody reigning supreme over his co-host.
In an interview with 10Play, the radio host said that the pair had no idea one of them was going on the show.
“It was sort of done behind Will and my backs in that [the show] approached our partners and work, and it was organised, as I said, behind our backs,” he said.
“Then it was announced to us on-air when Chris and Julia joined us on the radio show, they announced one of us was going into the jungle and we were sitting in limbo for a very, very long time until we found out which one of us was going!”
What were Woody’s clues?
Woody was paired with the clues:
“We all know radio hosts are known for their gift of the gab, and we’re sure this one won’t disappoint. “The jungle will be all ears as they spill the beans and command your full attention with the yarns they’re set to spin.”
But the most telling clues?
“A radio host who loves to kiss and tell” and “I can’t wait to get a kiss from them!”
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Premieres Sunday, 2 April at 7.30pm On 10 And 10 Play.
