The comedian and Celebrity Gogglebox star has spent years putting in the hard graft and is now hoping the ITV reality show will springboard him to the big time. I'm A Celebrity's Babatunde Aleshe has arrived in Australia Arriving in Brisbane this evening, the former EastEnders star said: "I mean I am inspired by him. I would love to have a career like him just watching him I am inspired I am inspired by what he does. I am a big fan of him and me and him, we talk, we are good friends." In recent years, Babatunde has toured Britain doing stand up comedy. He won Best Newcomer at the Black Entertainment Comedy Awards and has performed at venues like the O2 and the Hackney Empire. In 2019 he won the Amused Moose National New Comic Award and was selected to appear on Dave Chapelle's live showcase The Process. But his latest project is sure to be his most challenging to date and push him to his limit. Today pictures revealed show crew members assembling the famous Walk the Plank trial on top of a high rise on the Gold Coast. It appears there will be a twist this year as the photos show three platforms instead of two. The new stars competing to become king or queen of the jungle will be forced to face their fears when the show returns on 6 November by walking to the end of the platforms suspended 32-storeys in the air. We previously told how the stars have been given mental health MOTs to make sure they don't crack under the pressure cooker atmosphere of the show. This included divulging any previous mental health issues and admitting to any booze and drugs problems. The campmates – including Corrie star Sue Cleaver and radio icon Chris Moyles – have all undergone strict processes. They were checked to see if they could withstand the stress of being sleep-deprived, the pressure of the team trials and being apart from their loved ones. Celeb){kind=link}
