Children’s puppet Agro FINALLY confirms whether the character will I’m a Celebrity

Children’s puppet Agro has denied rumours the character has been cast on the new season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia.

During an interview on Studio 10 on Wednesday, Agro confirmed the TV puppet will not be entering the jungle.

‘I did an interview in Melbourne and the guy said to me “Are you going on Dr Chris Brown’s show”. No,’ Argo said.

‘What I said to Chris is “I don’t like celery, get me out of here!” All of a sudden there is the big rumour,’ the puppet joked.

This comes after a surprising new report by the Sunday Herald Sun, claimed the TV puppet may enter the jungle, when the show premieres next year.

Despite I’m a Celebrity relocating from South Africa to New South Wales due to the pandemic, Agro hilariously told the Herald Sun that he’s ‘very keen’ to join.

‘It’s not in the jungle, so it will be more like “I’m in Gosford … Get Me Out Of Here!”. And the eating challenges will be fine because I’ve got no throat,’ Agro said.

Agro and the show’s co-host Dr Chris Brown recently teamed up for Uber Eat’s latest ‘Tonight I’ll Be Eating’ promotion.

Agro co-hosted children’s program Agro’s Cartoon Connection from 1989 to 1997 with Ann-Maree Biggar and Teresa Livingstone.

Meanwhile, rumour mill on stars set to join the show has been going into overdrive, with Woman’s Day reporting that disgraced chef Pete Evans and fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow are being considered.

Another candidate on Channel 10’s wish list is reportedly former actress Bec Hewitt.

In addition to Bec, Pete and Tammy, the likes of Tania Zaetta, Ian Thorpe, George Calombaris and Abbie Chatfield are also said to be in the running.
