LOVABLE TOWIE star Joey Essex will be swinging his way onto our TV screens after being announced in the line-up for this year's 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'

The 23-year-old from Brentwood is bidding to become King of the Jungle, but will have to endure three weeks in the Australian outback and, of course, the dreaded 'Bush Tucker Trials.'

Fighting it out with Joey for the crown will be fellow Brentwood resident Steve Davis as the snooker legend swaps his cue for bushtucker trials.

Also joining the pair will be up against model Amy Willerton, actor Carlos Ribeiro, presenter Matthew Wright, singer Kian Egan, Olympian Rebecca Adlington, soap stars Laila Morse and Lucy Pargeter and royal dress designer David Emmanuel.

The show starts this Sunday at 9pm on ITV1.
