Reports suggest that former East Enders actress Nina Wadia is going to sign up for I’m a Celebrity this year. Nina, who is best known as Zainab Massood on the BBC soap, has recently quit the show saying it was time to move on.
“Letting go of something you love is never easy but the time has come to move on.
“There’s a few other projects that are not acting-related coming up for me.”
Source connected to the show said bosses are excited on the prospect that Nina will join this year. One said: “Nina will make a great campmate.
“Viewers will get to see her mischievous sense of humour, which is something they rarely got to see on EastEnders.”
Other stars who are reportedly going to the jungle camp this year include Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter and Corrie’s Michael Le Vell. Apparently, they will also be joined by The Only Way is Essex star Joey Essex and soap actor Chris Fountain.
