Last night, the jungle on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here was filled with new faces like Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones from McFly, and Tulisa Contostavlos from N Dubz. As Ant and Dec introduced the contestants, they couldn't resist making a little joke about one rumored participant: Tommy Fury. It was reported back in October that the 25-year-old boxer and former Love Island star had "pulled out" of the show in favor of a "more lucrative offer," which was speculated to be his upcoming fight with YouTuber KSI.
While introducing former boxing champion Barry McGuigan, Ant McPartlin exclaimed, "I can't believe Barry McGuigan is doing the show!" To which Dec Donnelly responded, "I know. Well, it was either this or fight the YouTuber on Netflix." Fans immediately caught on to the not-so-subtle dig and took to social media to share their reactions.
But despite the joke, no official announcement has been made about a fight between KSI and Tommy. However, rumors have been circulating that the two cruiserweights will face off in the ring after "talks" took place between them.
This wouldn't be the first time Tommy and KSI have gone head-to-head. In 2023, the reality TV star defeated the YouTuber with a points victory. Fans were hoping that Tommy's stint on I'm A Celeb would reveal some secrets about his recent split from his fiancé and Love Island sweetheart, Molly-Mae Hague.
Molly-Mae spoke about the split in an interview with British Vogue, saying, "No one will ever really know what went down apart from Tommy and I, and that's how we'd like to keep it, for Bambi's sake." She also hinted that Tommy may eventually open up about the reasons behind their breakup.
The couple, who were set to get married next September, were the most successful to come out of Love Island in its history. Molly-Mae described the circumstances surrounding their split as "a bit of a shock" and credits her close circle of friends for helping her get through it.
Despite rumors that Tommy had cheated on her, the boxer denied these allegations and declared his love for Molly-Mae until his "final breath." In an interview with MailOnline, Tommy said, "The whole world will regret their actions and unkind words when the truth comes out. What the public thinks is going on isn't the reality of our relationship."
Moving on to the other contestants, radio presenter Dean McCullough made a bold move by choosing Coleen Rooney as his partner in an initial sky-diving task, leaving fellow Radio 1 DJ Melvin Odoom behind. He jokingly exclaimed, "Wagatha Christie, you're coming with me!" as they ran off.
Other contestants joining the jungle adventure include Oti Mabuse, Alan Halsall, Jane Moore, Melvin Odoom, and social media influencer Grace Keeling, also known as GK Barry. Fans have already declared her the "winner" after her dramatic antics and screams when faced with a box full of creepy-crawlies.
Upon arriving at the camp, GK Barry couldn't believe how bad the conditions were. "I knew the dunny was going to be bad, but I didn't know it was going to be that bad," she said. "Everything here is so much worse than it looks on the telly."
