“Mo’s been a big fan of the show for years and was just waiting for the right time in his career to do it,” said a TV insider.
They added: “He obviously has an excellent level of fitness and mental focus so will be great at the Bushtucker Trials and will be a positive addition for keeping up team morale for campmates – especially as a lot of the celebs are worried how cold it will be.
“It’s his first foray into reality TV so he’s a bit nervous about the challenges and will miss his family, but he thinks it’ll be an amazing experience and the opportunity of a lifetime.
“It’s a massive coup for producers to bag Mo for the series. Everyone’s really excited about the signing and think he’ll be a hit with viewers,” they told The Sun.
