Tom Read Wilson is set to join the cast of the ITV reality show, I’m A Celebrity. He will enter the jungle alongside influencer Vogue Williams as the final two campmates. Their arrival on November 19 adds to the excitement of the ongoing season.

Expectations for the Jungle Experience

Wilson, known for his role on Celebs Go Dating, anticipates a challenging experience ahead. He describes it as “a real wrench” to leave behind his close relationships during the show. The 39-year-old has expressed that he will miss the small people in his life, including his five godchildren and three nephews, with whom he has frequent contact.

Fear and Camaraderie

Despite appearing composed, Wilson admits to being “terrified” about the journey ahead. He recognizes that fear tends to grow in his mind before starting something new. However, he also believes that he will adapt and perform better once he immerses himself in the experience.

Wilson is excited to bond with fellow contestant Aitch, the rapper, whom he likens to William Shakespeare for his clever use of language. He appreciates Aitch’s creativity and views rap as a form of modern poetry.

Bringing Energy to the Camp

• Tom aims to bring positive energy to the camp.
• He believes that his late arrival will require him to be an uplifting presence.
• By the time he arrives, the other contestants may have already faced significant challenges.

Famous Faces and Influences

Among the stars he looks forward to meeting is comedian Ruby Wax. Wilson has admired Wax’s work for years, especially her role in Absolutely Fabulous. He expresses excitement about the opportunity to interact with someone he regards as a significant influence in his life.

Family Advice and Preparation

Wilson’s father, Martin Kemp, is also participating in the show, and he has received advice from his son, Roman Kemp, who has warned him about the challenges of adjusting to life in the jungle. Roman suggested that Tom should reduce his coffee intake ahead of time to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

The upcoming season of I’m A Celebrity promises to be an engaging experience with the addition of Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams, as they navigate the challenges and adventures that await them in the Australian jungle.
