Who is James Haskell?

Born in Windsor, Berkshire, Haskell, 34, has been playing rugby since the tender age of five, according to his first club .

He was part of the club's successful youth set up before signing for Premiership side Wasps in 2002, when he would have been 17.

Despite showing promise - and representing England at U18, U19, U21 and Saxon levels - he narrowly missed out on the 2007 World Cup.

James has carved a reputation as an inspirational figure in the health and fitness industry with 238,000 Instagram followers.

The 6ft 4 inches tall star has recently made the move into professional mixed martial arts and is currently signed to Bellator MMA, competing in the heavyweight division.

He will make his debut in 2020.

He also dabbles in a bit of DJing to boot.

When was James Haskell on I'm A Celebrity?

James appeared on I'm A Celebrity 2019 when it kicked off in November 2019.

During his time in camp he was leader, took on many a Bushtucker Trial and also had a few spats.

However, he was the fourth person to be eliminated from the jungle on December 4, 2019.
