CORRIE star Andrew Whyment is keeping fans guessing over his Im a Celebrity appearance – by popping to his local garden centre.
The Kirk Sutherland favourite will join the cast of the new series later in the run with another big-name guest once the show starts.
He teased viewers by uploading a snap of him and wife Nichola shopping for Christmas decorations at a store in Warrington, Cheshire.
He told fans: Being dragged around @bentsgardenhome looking at the Christmas decorations @nicski26.
One fan on Twitter said: Shouldnt you be in the jungle mate?
Another added: Im in a garden centre…GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!
A third said: Yes… very good. This is a set up.
“We all know you ARE going into the jungle a few days later. Itv want it to be a surprise so pretend you are not going in.
“Good try, but we WILL see you Andrew in the jungle. Hope you have a good one.
