I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is set to start this Sunday on ITV and it will feature a contestant who grew up in the Brighton area.

Comedian Seann Walsh will be part of the reality show, which The Sun first reported on at the beginning of October.

Despite this he wasn't included among the 10 names officially revealed to be heading to Australia on Tuesday (November 1), meaning he will likely be one of the late arrivals, along with Matt Hancock.

All you need to know about Seann Walsh

Seann was born in Camden, London but grew up in Brighton which is where he got into comedy.

It was through becoming a graduate of Jill Edwards' comedy workshops at Komedia that he started to make a name for himself.

Early in his stand-up career, he won the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year in 2009 as well as Chortle's Best Newcomer in the same year.

Going back to Komedia Seann was the resident host at its Comic Boom show, and did some work as a warm-up comedian for QI.

He supported fellow comedian Stephen K. Amos on a couple of tours, before performing his own show Seann to Be Wild at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2012, touring the country with it.

After that his 2013 Edinburgh Fringe show The Lie-In King was also well-received.

Outside of his stand-up, he has made appearances on comedy panel shows like Mock the Week and Virtually Famous, acted in the sitcom Big Bad World and hosted the Netflix gameshow Flinch.

However, Seann might be well-known to most people due to his featuring on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.

A scandal erupted after he was photographed kissing his dance partner Katya Jones, despite them both being in long-term relationships.

Both relationships ended as a result, and earlier this year Seann said he underwent treatment for depression and anxiety, to help him cope with the fallout of the incident.
