CORONATION Street’s Andrew Whyment is set to be revealed as the 12th I’m A Celebrity campmate.
In the latest show shake-up, the actor will be sent into camp alongside another mystery name.
In 2018 just 11 campmates went into the jungle, but this series it will return to a dozen.
The Sun was the first to reveal Andrew would be heading into the ITV show this summer.
Bosses were left red-faced last year by putting all their eggs in latecomer Noel Edmonds basket only for him to get the boot before anyone else.
Noel was the shows most expensive ever signing at 600,000.
The actor has played Kirk Sutherland on the soap since 2000
But the public soon decided theyd had enough of the veteran presenter, who was sent home after just eight days.
This year producers have shelled out nearly 1million on Ian Wright and Caitlyn Jenner.
Reigning King of the Jungle and close pal Harry Redknapp convinced him to sign up, while Caitlyn hopes Kanye West could be a late-addition.
Other stars include Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway, Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle and Jacqueline Jossa from EastEnders.

New pictures today revealed a crane alongside a pier and a barge as Aussie workers continue creating what we will see on screens.
This year’s series promises viewers that stars face even more terrifying trials such as Mine Shaft Misery and Scar E Oke.
