It\u2019s just a matter of days before we see this year\u2019s cast enter the I\u2019m A Celebrity 2021<\/a> castle, and one star taking part in this year\u2019s show is Paralympian Kadeena Cox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cox was announced as part of the\u00a0I\u2019m A Celebrity 2021 line-up<\/a> on Monday 15th November alongside Frankie Bridge<\/a>, Arlene Phillips<\/a>, Danny Miller<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

The Leeds-born athlete \u2013 who is known for competing in T38 sprints and C4 para-cycling events \u2013 was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014.<\/p>\n

However, she\u2019s keen not to miss out on any of the trials, and has spoken to producers to make sure her disability won\u2019t stop her from taking part.<\/p>\n

Asked how her disability will impact on challenges, Cox revealed: \u201cThat actually was one of my biggest fears and one of the reasons I probably didn\u2019t want to do the show, because I didn\u2019t want to be that person that would be exempt from loads of trials.\u201d<\/p>

She continued: \u201cI\u2019ve always been a person who is more about what I can do rather than what I can\u2019t do, but I have spoken with the team and we talked about ways in which we can adapt things and ways in which we can make sure I can do the trials without having to miss opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo there\u2019s things in place so that I can do the trials, which is great. And it\u2019s great that the team have worked so closely with me to make sure that I won\u2019t have to feel like my disability is holding me back.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m A Celebrity returns this weekend with a <\/a>nightmarish new feature for the 2021 series,<\/a> known as The Clink, which is where half of the campmates will head as punishment for losing head-to-head challenges.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a Celebrity starts on ITV on 21st November. Visit our Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0hub for more news and features, or find something to watch with our\u00a0TV guide<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/section><\/body><\/html>\n
