Redknapp

Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard were seen for the first time on I’m A Celebrity South Africa with the football legend dressed as a king as fans say they ‘can’t wait’ for the next episode.

Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard have made their first appearance on I’m A Celeb South Africa, with the former winner dressed up as a king. Harry was previously crowned the King Of The Jungle in 2018.

At the end of Friday’s episode (10 April), I’m A Celeb aired a snippet of what’s to come next week, including the arrival of two new campmates. Football manager Harry and former Fulham and Hull player Jimmy, who were both announced as part of the cast earlier this year, were then seen entering the camp. Harry was dressed up in an elaborate outfit, reminiscent of the King of the Jungle flower crowns.

The footballer could be seen in the normal I’m A Celeb uniform of a khaki shirt and shorts, but also had a velvet cape over the top as well as a huge flower crown.

Fans were delighted to see Harry and Jimmy. One said: “Lowkey quite looking forward to Jimmy and Harry going back in.” Another said: “Monday is gonna be a great episode. The dynamics are definitely gonna change with Harry and Jimmy coming in!” A third added: “Can’t wait to see Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard on Monday show.”

Unlike the normal series, I’m A Celebrity South Africa will not air across the weekend. So while the arrival of Harry and Jimmy will be teased on Friday, it will air on Monday.

Prior to tonight’s episode, fans had been wondering when Harry and Jimmy would make their debut. Taking to social media, one fan said: “Where is Harry and Jimmy Bullard?” Another asked: “So no Harry?” as a third said: “Now we just need Harry!” Some viewers were quick to comment that they’d heard the pair would be late arrivals.

Host Ant McPartlin previously said that Harry and Jimmy’s arrival would kick the show into “another gear”. He said: “We’ve got two more late entries coming at the end of this week. Then, from week two, it just goes off again to another gear. It’s just got everything.”

This week has already been dramatic as several feuds have flared up. To begin with, David Haye and Beverley Callard began to feud after he sent her to Savannah Scrub, much to the shock of the other campmates and Ant and Dec. While the hosts proclaimed the Corrie star to be “poor Bev”, she vowed to get even and said that she would “chin” the boxer.

David also appeared to have a feud with Gemma Collins, first because he insisted that his team draft Craig Charles to his team over Gemma and then because he refused her water during her eating challenge. Gemma told him that she didn’t think that was very nice, but that was not the end to their fighting.

In Friday’s episode, Gemma was talking about the thickness of her hair and David said: “It ain’t thin.” An offended Gemma later told Adam Thomas that she felt David was “unwelcoming”.

Gemma has also had a feud with Sinitta, after the singer said she thought it was a “joke announcement” when Gemma was announced as Mama Morton in Chicago in 2022.

Gemma fumed: “I am not a joke.” The feud was so intense that it was taken off air, with Sinitta slamming fans for their “nasty” response, and Gemma saying “f**k you” to anyone that didn’t believe in her.

I’m A Celebrity fans are wondering what has happened to Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard and why they’re not on the show, after it had been announced they would be on the line-up

Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard’s I’m A Celebrity debut, or lack of, has sparked questions on social media.

So where are the former campmates, and why have they not entered the South Africa camp? Stars including Gemma Collins, Beverley Callard and Craig Charles are already on the show.

That said, we already had late arrivals with Gemma and Craig joining the likes of Ashley Roberts, David Haye and Sinitta. But fans are now asking what’s happened to Jimmy and Harry after the news they too would be on the series.

Taking to social media, one fan said: “Where is Harry and Jimmy Bullard?” Another asked: “So no Harry?” as a third said: “Now we just need Harry!”

Some viewers were quick to comment that they’d heard the pair would be late arrivals. It seems the arrival of both stars could be very soon if a TV guide is anything to go by.

While hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have yet to address it, Radio Times’ TV guide states that there are two new arrivals entering during Monday’s show. While it doesn’t name the newcomers, it seems only Harry and Jimmy are missing from the current line-up.

Viewers had been confused, as both Harry and Jimmy were named by the show as stars on the line-up on their social media accounts. So when they did not appear with the others, they questioned what had happened.

But rest assured, Harry and Jimmy are on the show and will join very soon, likely Monday if that TV guide is anything to go by. It’s been hinted by Ant and Dec that the arrivals of both stars will be teased at the end of Friday’s show.

Unlike the normal series, I’m A Celebrity South Africa will not air across the weekend. So it seems the arrival of Harry and Jimmy will be teased on Friday, and air on Monday.

Ant had said: “We’ve got two more late entries coming at the end of this week. Then, from week two, it just goes off again to another gear. It’s just got everything.”

The series was filmed last September in South Africa, so most of the series is pre-recorded. There will be a live episode for the final though later this month, taking place in London.

JACK Whitehall partied the night away as he enjoyed a star-studded stag do.

He was joined by plenty of famous faces for a very boozy night out.

The comedian and actor is preparing to tie the knot to model Roxy Horner but made sure to make the most of life pre-marriage on his big night out – which included visiting an X-rated nightclub.

Among his fellow celebs with Jamie Redknapp and James Corden as well as ex-rugby star, Lawrence Dagglio.

Jack and his pals partied for more than six hours on the London pub crawl.

Things got underway around 3pm when Jack and the lads sank pints at The Devonshire pub.

WHAT THE BLEEP?

What Jack Whitehall & Brit Award stars REALLY said as ITV cut risky jokes

Spirits seemed merry within moments of things kicking off for Jack and his friends.

By 5pm, they had moved onto racy London nightclub, The Box.

The ominous venue, a favourite amongst celebrities, is traditionally only open late into the night and the early hours.

It is believed the venue put on a private show for Jack as part of his stag-do.

The Box has a reputation for its outrageous, raucous, and highly sexualized late-night performances.

By 8:30pm, Jack and his pals had moved onto mini-golf hotspot, Swingers.

The group then ended the night with drinks at the Soho Hotel bar – with speculation that Jack could have been staying at the high-end hotel overnight.

James Corden went missing for a few hours during the evening before eventually making his way back to the group for the final moments.

Jack became engaged to model Roxy at the end of 2024 and is due to marry in a matter of weeks.

The couple met while Jack was on a trip to Australia in 2020 and they ended up isolating together in London during the coronavirus pandemic.

They welcomed their first child Elsie in September last year.

At the time, Jack announced the news online and said: “In awe of my partner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever.”

At the time of The Sun revealing Jack and Roxy’s engagement, a pal said: “Jack and Roxy are going into Christmas as an engaged couple.

“He asked Roxy to marry him earlier this month and she said yes straight away.

“They could not be happier together and are looking forward to planning their wedding.”

Roxy, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2021, has previously praised Jack for his support.

From “sticking a pen in a couple” while having a youthful flutter to owning a King George VI Chase winner and potential Cheltenham Gold Cup victor, Harry Redknapp has come a long way in horse racing.

The FA Cup-winning football manager’s love of the sport can be traced back to his grandmother Maggie Brown, who was a bookmaker’s runner in London’s East End, at a time when betting shops and off-course betting were illegal.

On Friday, his horse Jukebox Man will attempt to add the Cheltenham showpiece to his King George win in December.

The King George VI Chase is considered the biggest jumps race of the season before the Cheltenham Festival, while the Gold Cup is described by the Jockey Club as the most prestigious steeplechase in the world.

After claiming a photo-finish victory at Kempton Park on Boxing Day to topple 2024 King George winner Banbridge and 9-4 joint-favourite Gaelic Warrior, Redknapp said: “We’ve come into the Champions League today.”

But can he win jump racing’s equivalent of the Champions League?

“We have a chance, but it is a tough race,” Redknapp told BBC Radio 5 Live:

Among those standing in his way are Gaelic Warrior, Jango Baie, Haiti Couleur and last year’s winner Inothewayurthinkin.

Redknapp said: “Just to have a runner in the Gold Cup is a dream come true.

“We have had so much fun with Jukebox Man, which won the King George on Boxing Day, which is one of the most iconic races in the racing calendar.

“To go to the Gold Cup and to have a runner with a bit of a chance is great.”

Victory would be the crowning moment of a 70-year love affair with the sport that began during childhood.

“My nan would take the bets,” he said. “I’d come out for my school dinner when I’m eight or nine and she was getting put in the back of a police van and taken to Poplar police station.”

Redknapp’s nan would tell him to “stick a pen in a couple“ that would be her bets for the day.

Despite his love of the sport, he has never been tempted to ride – “not for all the money in the world”.

”They get injured, these jump jockeys, and then they come back about three weeks later, he said.

“They’re not like footballers, are they?”

Redknapp owns shares in 26 horses.

“You’re not always successful,” he said.

“For every Shakem Up’arry and Jukebox Man and Taurus Bay, there’s lots of others that never really did anything.”
