Arsenal legend Ian Wright is going into the jungle.
After weeks of speculation and subtle hints on Match of the Day, it has been confirmed that the former England striker will appear on the 2019 edition of 'I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here'.
Wright took to social media to explain why he has decided to take part in a reality tv show which will see him involved in challenges including thousands of insects and jungle creatures, as well as camping out in the Australian jungle.
"It's the worst kept secret...but it's now official, I'm going into the Jungle. My team are going to manage my social media while I'm gone, so be nice! They'll use #TeamIan. See you on the other side.
"I'll miss football. I love football, it's my whole life. I will not miss VAR.
"When I was first approached this year, we thought about it for ages, as it is not something where you think ‘Ah, I will do that’.
"I have been asked to do it every year, and every time I have always thought, I am definitely not doing that because there was more and more jeopardy involved.
"But I think the last series was one of the best I have seen in respect of camaraderie. Harry and I play golf together, and we spoke about it.
"He had a really great time, it was a fantastic thing for him to do and he is still talking about it to this day.
"Now it does appeal to me at this particular time. I like the vibe, it is a really cool show and I am really intrigued."
As expected, Wright's announcement has prompted a massive reaction from Arsenal fans on social media.
