Read on for everything you need to know about Louise Minchin.<\/p>\n Age: <\/strong>53<\/p>\n Job: <\/strong>Presenter<\/p>\n Instagram:\u00a0<\/strong>@louiseminchin<\/a><\/p>\n Twitter:\u00a0<\/strong>@louiseminchin<\/a><\/p>\n Louise Minchin is best known for presenting BBC Breakfast alongside Strictly\u2019s Dan Walker, which she worked on for 20 years before leaving in September this year. She is no stranger to celebrity talent competitions. In 2016, Louise took part in Celebrity MasterChef, finishing second. She is also an amateur triathlete, which will undoubtedly come in handy during the trials.<\/p> Speaking of joining this series of I\u2019m A Celeb, Louise said: \u201cGoing on I\u2019m A Celebrity is a big adventure. It is very different to sitting on the BBC Breakfast sofa and it will be scary and daunting but it will also be lots of fun. I\u2019ve driven past the castle quite a few times and I am really excited for it to be in Wales again.\u201d<\/p>\n She also revealed that she hopes BBC Breakfast co-host Dan Walker, who is currently busy dancing on Strictly, will vote for her when she\u2019s in the castle.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t tell Dan Walker I was doing I\u2019m A Celebrity before coming to Wales,\u201d Louise revealed, \u201cbut I don\u2019t think he will be surprised! He knows me well and I think he will be both excited and nervous for me. I have been voting for him on Strictly so fingers crossed he will vote for me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m A Celebrity returns to ITV on 21st November.
