Who is Kate Garraway on I'm A Celebrity 2019?

She has already taken on Strictly Come Dancing but Kate Garraway is setting herself a whole new challenge.

The Good Morning Britain presenter is swapping daytime for ITV prime time by being one of 10 celebrities heading into I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

Kate has appeared on TV and radio for the past 25 years, starting her career on the South edition of ITV News Central in 1994.

The 52-year-old is probably best recognised from when she started co-presenting on GMTV in 2000 which then switched to Daybreak and eventually it's current form, GMB.

She may also be wanting to do one better in her next reality telly stint after she finished in 8th place of BBC's Strictly with pro dancer Anton du Beke in 2007.

It may be a bit of a challenge for Kate as she has already admitted to being "terrified of absolutely everything" - singling out spiders, heights and being in a box covered with snakes.

"But I am excited about doing the show," she reitterated. "Because as you get older, you realise you don't get many chances for pure adventure in life.

"I am going to give it a good shot and everyone can have a laugh and I hope it takes their mind off Brexit!"

She is no stranger to reality TV having appeared on Strictly (BBC)

Asked if she sees herself leaving as Queen of the Jungle, the mum-of-two remained very coy.

"Oh gosh that is not what it is about for me," she said.

"This is about having an amazing adventure. It's not going to happen…Let's not dream!"

I'm a Celebrity 2019 begins on Sunday, November 17 at 9pm on ITV.
