Who is I'm a Celebrity's Victoria Derbyshire?

The celebrities are gearing up to enter Gwrych Castle for this year's Welsh-based I'm a Celebrity.

Victoria Derbyshire will enter Gwrych Castle near Abergele alongside the rest of the line-up.

They will be entering the unknown - aka just under two weeks of new trials, a new camp and vastly different weather conditions than the usual I'm a Celebrity camp.

Who is Victoria Derbyshire?

Former BBC presenter and current affairs journo, Victoria has fronted ITV's The Real Full Monty and in August 2015 Victoria announced on Twitter that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her subsequent video diaries about her cancer treatment, from her mastectomy through chemotherapy and radiotherapy that went viral and were viewed millions of times.

The 52-year-old tarted her career in BBC radio before switching to TV. She is the main presenter of BBC News at Nine on the BBC News Channel and has also presented Newsnight and BBC Panorama.

For five years the presenter fronted BBC2's The Victoria Derbyshire Show which was axed in January of this year because the costs were too high.

I'm a Celebrity starts on Sunday November 15 at 9pm
