I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here begins this weekend and Radio X DJ Chris Moyles is set to make his entrance into the jungle
Chris Moyles has been announced as one of the 11 celebrities entering the I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here jungle this weekend.
The radio presenter, 48, will enter the Australian wilderness alongside pop star Boy George, former England rugby player Mike Tindall and former Lioness Jill Scott.
Born in Leeds, Chris Moyles is temporarily hanging up his headphones and swapping them for Bushtucker Trials.
The face of the Radio X breakfast show has admitted he is “terrified” to enter the jungle on Saturday night and warned his off-air personality is far quieter.
Chris Moyles said: “Contrary to popular belief, I won’t be the loudest person in the camp.
“My radio show is a very turned-up version of me and people will get to see a much quieter Chris Moyles!”
