Other stars reportedly set to join the cast include singer Boy George, comedian Seann Walsh and DJ Chris Moyles.

Mike might have been convinced to take part on the show by his close friend and The Good, The Bad and The Rugby co-star James Haskell, who took part back in 2019.

Back then Mike said of his friend joining the cast: "Just to talk about the level of celebrities you get on that platform, it's an insane thing to hear. Haskell is well and truly on that train, I cannot wait to see how he goes. I hope they really give him some…"

I'm a Celebrity… won't be Mike's first appearance on a reality show, as back in 2015 he took part on The Jump.

Speaking of his time on the show, he admitted: "With The Jump, I just love skiing - I didn't think about that [attention]. I was thinking I'll get to learn how to ski for free, well actually they'll pay me to learn how to ski properly – like perfectly, you don't have to go through that awkward thing with all your friends on the nursery slopes."
