I'm A Celeb Daddy

Late arrivals Swash and Gaffney to fill kids with pride in jungle return

FORMER East Enders stars Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney join I'm a Celebrity tonight, both vowing to make their children proud.

The dads are late entries to the series in South Africa and had memorable appearances in the Australian version.

Joe, 41, won I'm a Celeb in 2008 before hosting the spin-off show where he met 2010 jungle queen Stacey Solomon.

The couple share three children and three stepkids, and married in 2022.

One of the reasons for Joe's return is so his family can watch him take on challenges in South Africa's bush.

He said: "My eldest son Harry was one when I did the jungle and he is 16 now.

"I want the kids to watch I'm a Celebrity... South Africa and for both of us to be able to tell them, I'm A Celebrity is where Mummy and Daddy met'.
