Kate Garraway appears to accidentally let slip she’s doing I’m A Celebrity

It's under two weeks before the celebrities head into the jungle

Kate Garraway has appeared to confirm she’s doing I’m A Celebrity this year.

Over the last few weeks, the presenter has dropped several hints she’s heading into the jungle later this month and the rumours have been constantly teased on Good Morning Britain.

On Thursday’s show, Kate made a joke about staying in a posh Australian hotel before quickly backtracking on her comments.

During a discussion about what a person’s Christmas Nativity role meant for the rest of their lives, Kate revealed she played Mary.

Mary correlated to earning £39,000 a year and having 1,504 followers on social media.

Well if I were to be, ever in the future, doing it… oh.

Showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold joked: “It doesn’t bode well with the public vote though.”

Kate then said: “I’ll be back in the Versace [hotel] with that smorgasbord of sushi and dirty burgers.”

If you didn’t know, the I’m A Celebrity contestants stay at the hotel before entering the jungle and after they’re voted out.
