I’m A Celeb: Jamie Lynn wants to ‘quit’ after challenge<\/h3>\n
Two new campmates were brought into I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! on Wednesday in a surprise twist.<\/p>\n
Jockey Frankie Dettori and former boxing champ Tony Bellew were confirmed tonight as this year’s late arrivals after they turned up in the Australian jungle camp.<\/p>\n
Detailing how he received heartbreaking news of his nan’s death the day after signing up to the ITV reality show, Tony explained: “I signed the day before she passed away, so there was no going back then.<\/p>\n
“If I sign something, I honour my agreement. In an ideal world I would have left it but I had signed.<\/p>\n
“I was coming, so I am here. But I am going back to bury her on the 15th.”<\/p>\n

“I was going to renegade if I couldn’t move the burial date. I can bury her now when I get back.”<\/p>\n
Paying tribute to his grandmother Rose, who he described as “the boss of the house” on social media, he added: “She was in a home.<\/p>\n
“And she told my mum ‘I’ll be able to watch [I’m A Celebrity] every night’.<\/p>\n
“So yeah, it is what it is. She’ll be watching, you know, from wherever she is and whatever she’s doing.<\/p>\n
“She was a diamond of an old lady. She was wonderful.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Frankie, who was supposed to retire earlier this month, signed up for I’m A Celebrity before agreeing on a deal to keep riding and move to America in 2024.<\/p>\n
When about the prospect of a bush tucker trial hurting him or three weeks in the jungle leaving him jaded, he said: “I ride horses every day, you know, you can’t think like that.<\/p>\n
“I can walk across the road and get run over by a bicycle, so it is what it is. You know, I believe you\u2019ve got to live in the moment.<\/p>\n
“When I get out, of course, I’ll have the other plans, but that’s after the show.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m not gonna start thinking like that, I want to go out there with a clear mind, clean canvas and take it on.”<\/p>\n
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV.<\/strong><\/p>\n
