Joanna Page, who played Stacey Shipman in Gavin and Stacey, has confirmed she will join the 26th series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in Australia. She hopes to become the first Welsh Queen of the Jungle and says the experience could help her reconnect with her identity beyond motherhood.
