Excitement mounts as the upcoming season of the popular show I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here approaches, with rumors swirling about the potential celebrity contestants. Speculation suggests that professional boxers Conor Benn and Tommy Fury may be among the contestants, along with Denise van Outen and Kelly Brook. Fans are eagerly trying to uncover clues about who will be venturing into the jungle.
Anticipation is also building around the possibility of Geordie presenters Ant and Dec welcoming Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley to the reality show. In an exclusive interview with the Mirror and Buzz Bingo, the Emmerdale star hinted at the likelihood of her participation.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the jungle experience, the 49-year-old actress shared her interest in connecting with others and having a good time. She compared the potential adventure to a rejuvenating experience with a delightful group of people.
Should Lisa indeed join the show in Australia, it won’t be her first encounter with reality TV. Since her debut on Emmerdale in 1995, she has also showcased her dancing skills on Strictly Come Dancing. Lisa and her dance partner, Robin Windsor, reached the semi-finals in 2012 and were runners-up in a Christmas special two years later.
Tragically, Robin passed away in a London hotel room in February 2024 at the age of 44. Lisa described him as her best friend and reflected on the unexpected loss. She emphasized the need for open communication about emotions and credited her Emmerdale colleagues for their support during challenging times.
Encouraging others to share their feelings, Lisa emphasized the importance of mutual support, particularly highlighting the unity among her fellow Emmerdale cast members. She also reminisced about her close bond with Robin and pledged to honor his memory by spreading positivity.
