So, who is Adam Woodyatt? And how does he feel about taking on the Castle?

What has Adam said about joining I’m A Celebrity 2021?
Adam is looking forward to taking part on the show, and is “thrilled” it’s taking place in Wales.
Speaking to press including RadioTimes.com ahead of his debut, he said: “I’m sure if it’d been in Australia, I’m sure I would have loved that but I think it would have been different challenges and a different environment. I’m thrilled it’s in Wales. It’s ITV’s decision. I’m pleased it’s in Wales and I’m not just saying that because I’m half Welsh.”
Adam has had some advice from former campmates, such as Vicky Pattison who won the series in 2015, and Shane Richie who took part last year – not that he really wanted it. “I’ll be honest I didn’t actually ask them. I didn’t actually want to know because I just wanted to go in and find out for myself.”
