One of our area's most famous residents is set to join the popular ITV reality show, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

Sir Mo Farah, a four time Olympic Gold medallist, will not be jetting of to Australia as the show usually does.

Instead, due to coronavirus travel restrictions, the show will take place at Gwrych Castle in North Wales.

Sir Mo told ITV: "I just wanna go in there and have fun, just be myself - like back in uni days.

"All creatures scare me - you name it! Even the cat, the dog, everything!"

Sir Mo of course spent his university days at St Mary's University Twickenham.

Joining Mo in the jungle are the likes of TV presenter Vernon Kay, Journalist Victoria Derbyshire and EastEnders star Shane Richie.

The series starts on ITV this Sunday.
