What has Matty Lee said about joining I’m A Celebrity 2021?
“Nothing ever prepares you for what life will be like after you do well in the Olympics,” Matty said of joining I’m A Celeb. “I was and still am mainly in shock that I am doing I’m A Celebrity. My two childhood dreams were to win an Olympic medal and take part in my favourite TV series. And now I am doing both this year!”
He also revealed that diving partner Tom Daley “was in shock too” when he found out. He added: “He has always been so supportive and helped me a lot over the past three years.”
