Comedian Eddie Kadi is the seventh contestant to arrive in Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity launch

Comedian Eddie Kadi, 42, has touched down in Brisbane Airport ahead of his stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle which launches on November 16.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star wore a patterned tracksuit  and when asked why he was in Australia, he bizarrely told the Daily Mail, ‘I’m looking for  Mowgli.   

‘I’ve heard my best mate Mowgli and Timon and Pumbaa are around somewhere, so I’ve come to catch up with them, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them.’

When asked if he would miss his daughter, two, the BBC Radio presenter said: ‘Oh gosh, absolutely. 

‘My little girl, I’m gonna absolutely miss her. I’ve been doing little videos for her along the way – she’s never travelled this far.’

The survival reality show, presented by Declan Donnelly, 50, and Ant McPartlin, 49, will be back on the popular channel this coming Sunday (November 16). 

What makes the programme so great every year is the selection of famous faces ready to take on the jungle in Dungay,New South Wales.

Irish TV personality, Vogue Williams, and beloved Celebs Go Dating receptionist, Tom Read Wilson, have been confirmed as the late entries to this year’s I’m A Celeb. 

Each year, two contestants enter a week later than the first batch of 10 celebrities and typically have to complete their own task before joining the rest of the camp.
