Footballer Jimmy Bullard is set to stir things up on I’m A Celebrity All Stars as he joins the camp with Harry Redknapp, completing the full South Africa line-up

Jimmy Bullard vowed to shake things up in the I’m A Celebrity All Star camp as a late entry with some pranks.

The former Premier League footballer, 47, will head into camp alongside Harry Redknapp, and both King Harry and King Jimmy are new monarchs who will pick their subjects from the celebrity campmates to form two teams: the Lions and the Rhinos.

On playing pranks, Jimmy said: “I’m A Celebrity is a very similar scenario to being in the changing room – and it brings the devil out in me! When I did the jungle in Australia, I loved having a laugh playing some pranks and messing around like kids.

“That’s what I loved most about it and I was always playing up! I’ve always done it in changing rooms too and so now this time around, I am sure it will naturally happen because I’m always going to look to have a laugh and wind people up!”

Jimmy hopes to do better than first appearance in Oz when he was first out in 2014 having gone onto the show as one of the favourites to win. He said: “My last time I was there I finished stone cold last because I came out first, so it’s flattering that I didn’t get forgotten. It’s nice to have another bash at it, but it was tough last time and I know the trials are going to be tough again!”

He added: “I was scared of lots of things and I still am fearful of snakes. Doing I’m A Celebrity… did not cure me of any of my phobias!” However his time in the Aussie jungle should at least help him a little bit for his return in South Africa. Speaking before he went onto the show, he added: “I feel a little bit more prepared because you understand what is coming but I have been watching it year after year, and the trials just seem to get tougher!

“I am still scared of snakes and spiders too and I am apprehensive about what is going to happen. You could be jumping out of a plane before you know it or getting chucked in a box full of snakes! But I signed up for this, so I am looking forward to getting started.”

According to reports in November after this series was filmed, viewers will see Jimmy clash with Adam Thomas during a row in camp. And Jimmy did admit it can be difficult living in camp with others,

Looking back on his Aussie experience, he explained: “I learnt that when you are in the camp, it can be difficult because you are with 11 other people you don’t really know.

“You don’t want to rub people up the wrong way. But I did have a lot of fun whilst I was there and it was amazing how bonds form. You get close to the other celebrities so quickly.”

And Jimmy is honest enough to admit that despite not being on the show for long first time around, it gave his career a boost. The show opened doors and gave him new opportunities after retiring from football.

He said: “It’s weird because ever since I did the programme, a lot of families have come up to tell me they watched it. In the past, it was always lads as I obviously used to play football. I don’t think I would have had some of the gigs I have had were it not for I’m A Celebrity… I co-presented Soccer AM for seven years and you do question yourself whether you would have had gigs like that if you hadn’t done the jungle.

“I’m always in front of the camera now with my golf YouTube programme. My life has definitely changed (for the better) post I’m A Celebrity…”

* I’m A Celebrity…South Africa airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV1.

TOMMY Fury has risked pregnant Molly-Mae’s wrath after announcing a huge fight the day after her due date.

Last month, the Love Island icon, 26, thrilled fans when she announced that she and Tommy Fury, also 26, were expecting their second child together.

Tommy has now taken to Instagram to announce that he is taking on Eddie Hall on June 13 at the AO Arena Manchester.

Tickets go on sale Sunday and it will be shown live exclusively on DAZN.

The post has received over 130k likes and almost 1500 comments as fans eagerly await the outcome of the fight.

Another said: “This is wild!”

While a third said: “I’m here for this.”

However, a fan asked Molly-Mae: “Does this mean Tommy is missing the birth of your second child?”

Since revealing the couple’s big news last month, where Molly-Mae said she was already six months pregnant, she has been teasing fans with little snippets and clues about her unborn baby.

In her latest Instagram post called “bits and bobs” she shared a slew of snaps of her second pregnancy journey.

This included pics with her and Tommy’s first child, Bambi, three, plus stunning baby bump photos.

But it was the photo of her baby scan that really stood out and revealed her due date.

In the sweet snap, the scan had been flashed up on the big screen in their movie room, with Molly and Tommy’s daughter pointing to it.

But if you look closely at the photo, it gives away when the influencer’s baby will be born.

The picture revealed she was 24 weeks and 6 days pregnant when she had the scan on February 26.

This therefore means her due date is June 12 which is only one day before Tommy’s big fight.

Molly-Mae recently raised concerns when she visited Ash End House Children’s Farm with Bambi where she shared a photo of the “three days old” lambs

As she showed off some young lambs on her Instagram stories, it sparked worry as there is a risk of contracting disease from animals who’ve recently given birth.

.The Children’s Farm has a section on its website dedicated to safety and measures pregnant women can take to reduce the risk of infection.

Her farm trip comes after she revealed she’s having trouble breathing during her pregnancy and is concerned it might lead to her becoming addicted to nasal sprays.

Molly went on to admit she is not suffering from a cold or any illness but still finds herself feeling as though she cannot breathe in the morning – leading to her reaching for the sprays every day.

She said: “I don’t have a cold. I don’t feel ill but I wake up and I can’t breathe.”

But she assured fans she was feeling well within herself and her pregnancy as she nears her due date.
