Sue Cleaver has reportedly signed up for 'I'm A Celebrity. . . Get Me Out Of Here!'. The 'Coronation Street' actress - who has played Eileen Grimshaw on the soap since 2002 - is looking forward to "challenging herself" when she heads Down Under next month to take part in the beloved reality show.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Sue is a very much-loved Street legend and the bosses are delighted to have her as part of the line-up this year. “She will be a brilliant addition, and is looking forward to really pushing out of her comfort zone and challenging herself in the jungle. ” The former 'Dinner Ladies' star is expecting to be joined on the show - which is returning to Australia for the first time in three years - by Boy George, Chris Moyles, Seann Walsh, Owen Warner and Olivia Attwood, though the line-up has not officially been confirmed.
It was claimed earlier this week that Olivia - who finished third on 'Love Island' alongside ex-boyfriend Chris Hughes in 2017 - will be the first ever star of the dating show to take part in the competition, with ITV bosses hoping she'll be a hit with viewers as they are keen to secure her for more projects in the future.
An insider said: "This is a sign that the dating favourite is now so big and produces figures with such high profiles that they can no longer be dismissed. "Olivia is already viewed as a rising star on ITV and this is likely to serve as a launchpad for potentially fronting more mainstream shows with the broadcaster. " Meanwhile, she has some history with 'I'm A Celebrity' after appearing as a special guest on spin-off show 'Extra Camp', when she had to endure Bushtucker Trials and was made to eat sheep brains.
