I'm A Celeb legend forced to cancel comedy gigs after falling ill

Taking to social media to address fans, the 39-year-old comedian said: “Apologies to the audience in Hordean tonight and in Cornwall tomorrow night.

“I will no longer be appearing as I suddenly became ill last night. It’s not pretty.”

He finished by leaving fans with an encouraging message, writing: "I recommend you still go as both comedy promoters always put on a fantastic night.

“Again, sorry I’m not there and hope to see you next time. X.” 

At the moment, it is unknown if this mystery illness will jeopardise his role as a guest on the I'm A Celeb discussion show.

Seann Walsh joined I'm A Celebrity all the way back in 2018 after being caught snogging his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones, despite already being in a relationship.

He is reported to have entered the jungle to fix his public image and show a different side to himself.

I'm A Celebrity Unpacked co-host Joel Dommett was quick to share his excitement about the star's return to the ITV show, telling fans: “I’ve known him for years and years. I’ll always remember that Seann was in a competition with me on my fourth ever gig; he went through to the semi-finals and I didn’t.
