Chiswick actor Nigel Havers set for next series of I'm A Celebrity

Chiswick actor Nigel Havers has reportedly agreed to appear on the upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity hosted by fellow residents Ant and Dec.

The actor seems to enjoy working with other Chiswickians.

He recently played male escort Lewis Archer in Coronation Street alongside Grove Park's Rula Lenska.

And now he is set to swap the cobbled streets of Weatherfield for creepy crawlies and crocodiles in the Australian outback.

An insider told The Sun: “Nigel will be perfect for the show. He is a very popular actor who has never done anything like this before.

"He is really up for the challenge. He is known as being very smooth, but it will be interesting to see if he is able to keep that up in the pressure of the jungle environment.”
