November 17th 2024.
As the highly anticipated I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2024 finally graces our screens, viewers are in for a treat as the line-up boasts some of the biggest names in the industry. From Coleen Rooney to Tulisa Contostavlos, Danny Jones and former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Oti Mabuse, it's safe to say this season is one to watch.
Oti's appearance on the show comes fresh off the heels of her new role as a judge on ITV's Dancing On Ice, proving that she's a force to be reckoned with in the world of dance. But how will she fare in the jungle? Well, according to former Strictly pro Vincent Simone, who himself appeared on I'm A Celeb more than a decade ago in 2013, Oti may have a slight advantage thanks to her years of experience as a competitive dancer.
Vincent, who was on Strictly from 2006 until 2012, believes that professional dancers have an upper hand in the jungle due to their competitive nature and intense training. However, he also noted that the lack of food can be a major obstacle for dancers, who are used to fueling their bodies for performances. But despite this potential challenge, Oti remains optimistic and is looking forward to teaching her fellow campmates some dance moves in their spare time.
Speaking of challenges, Oti revealed that her biggest fear going into the jungle are snakes. But she also mentioned her desire to be the "comfort mum" in camp, offering support and entertainment through her love for dancing. Vincent himself can relate, as he taught some moves to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air star Alfonso Ribeiro during his time on the show. And as fate would have it, Alfonso went on to win Dancing With The Stars in the US and even appeared on Strictly as a guest judge.
Reflecting on his own experience, Vincent shared that doing I'm A Celeb actually helped him overcome his fear of spiders, thanks to a memorable Bushtucker Trial. But he's more than happy to leave behind the blended cockroaches and other gruesome challenges that come with being in the jungle.
So, as we eagerly tune in to the launch of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! tonight, we can't help but wonder how Oti and the rest of the line-up will fare in the wild. And who knows, maybe we'll even see some dance moves in the jungle. After all, Oti did mention her plans of creating a talent show with her fellow campmates. Anything can happen in the jungle!
