I'm A Celebrity viewers make decision on Corrie's Simon moments into appearance on show

I'm A Celebrity viewers fina;lly got what they have been waiting days for.

At the end of Wednesday night's show it was revealed that two soap legends would be heading to the castle.

Coronation Street star Simon Gregson and EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt will make their way into camp on Thursday night's show.

Their appearance was teased last night after Ant and Dec revealed that all of the campmates would be taking on the next trial.

Simon and Adam, best know for their soap characters Steve McDonald and Ian Beale, will join the likes of Richard Madeley, Danny Miller, Dame Arelene Phillips and Frankie Bridge on the show.

Fans caught their first glimpse of Adam and Simon in their introduction packages after Ant and Dec told viewers they'd also be facing the next trial together.

Adam said: "I’m Adam Woodyatt and I’m probably best known for being a resident of Albert Square and playing Ian Beale for 37 years."

After reeling off his fears, he joked: "I’m gonna be about as much use as a chocolate teapot."

Simon then said: "I’m Simon Gregson and people will probably best know me for playing the character of Steve McDonald in Coronation Street.

"It’ll be nice to actually show people that there’s absolutely no difference between me and Steve McDonald (laughs)."

Simon had also revealed that he accepted the invitation to be in the latest series of I’m a Celebrity due to pressure from his children, who are big fans of the show.

“They were just like ‘come on dad, we’d love it’,” he said. "So I just said ‘ok anything for you guys’.

"(They) are like ‘absolutely do not say ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ and make sure you at least get as far as possible otherwise it’s going to be a huge pile-on when I get home."

"Simon to win," @demie.jx echoed.

@izzyevangelinemain added: "Already want him to win."

"Finally the personality is arriving! Everyone else is SO BORING. Adam and Simon will add some personality. Simon Gregson will win the crown. i’m saying it now #ImACeleb," @itsamy_xo commented.

@elishab_ said: "If he doesn’t win," with an angry face emoji.
