I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star Matty Lee has shared his excitement over appearing on the show – but mostly because he’s ready to finish isolating.
The Olympian has been hiding away in a luxurious cottage in Wales but recently confessed that he missed “human company”.
Taking to Instagram, the star notified his fans that this will be the last time they will hear from him personally before he hands his social media accounts to his management team.
Posting a picture of himself wearing his I’m A Celeb attire, Matty penned: “SO….it’s really happening! I am actually taking part in this year’s @imacelebrity and I can’t quite believe it!!”
He continued: “It’s been the MOST AMAZING year and this is just another incredible thing to happen. I cannot wait to get in the castle, meet everyone and have a lot of fun!
“I’ve been stuck in isolation for 2 weeks so I can’t wait to have some human company!”
The star also reminded his fans that this will be the last message he will be able to personally post for now.
He added: “I actually drafted this message before our phones were taken away last night, so this post and all post from now will be done by my management. I have also recorded some videos while in isolation so the guys will be posting them in the next couple of days as well.
“I just want to say to everyone, THANK YOU for all your love and support of me, I appreciate it with all my heart. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I do taking part on it.”
Loving the news fans took to the comment section to share their excitement about seeing him on the show.
One follower penned: “Wow!!! This is amazing!! Will be looking forward to see you…(hopefully they will be kinder to you and not ask you to eat bulls private parts or spiders).”
Meanwhile another said: “Yesssss your going to be brilliant in there.”
“Best of luck, Matty. We’re all behind you!” A third exclaimed.
On Tuesday evening, Matty’s management team also uploaded a video of him sharing his excitement for the new series as he expressed his disbelief regarding the astonishing year he’s had so far.
The olympic medalist will be joining several well-known celebs on the iconic show such as Good Morning Britain’s Richard Madeley, former BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and Loose Women’s Frankie Bridge.
Earlier this year, Matty along with his diving partner Tom Daley made history when they achieved gold medals for their synchronised dive at the Tokyo summer Olympics.
