It’s back, baby! That’s right, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is back for Season 9, and as usual, it’s already bringing the laughs and chaos we’ve come to love and expect.
After two seasons of filming in northern New South Wales due to COVID, the borders are open once again, which means I’m a Celeb is back in South Africa, and coming to us live from the jungle.
Hosts Julia Morris and Dr Chris Brown are also back, and this season, the premise is simple: make it fun, make it funny, make it a good time for all involved — well, except the celebs, maybe. Having snakes dumped on you or being challenged to ingest a warthog testicle doesn’t sound like much fun to us, to be honest, but look, they knew what they were getting themselves into, right?!
But if you’ve tuned in for all the fun and found yourself thinking “sorry, who is that?” — you’re not alone. Luckily, we’ve got all the goss on who these celebs are, what they’re known for, where you’ve seen them before, and what charity they’re competing for.
One of the celebs who’s made his way to the jungle for the chance to take out the win this season is reality star Nathan Henry, who’s competing for Australian Breast Cancer Research.

When Nathan joined Geordie Shore, he identified as bisexual, but in 2015, during Season 10 of the show, Nathan came out as gay. Later, he went on to host his own MTV show, titled Nathan’s Story, in which he shared his experiences about coming out as gay. Nathan has also appeared in an online series for MTV, in which he discussed growing up as a Black gay man.
Still, Geordie Shore remains close to Nathan’s heart, and in 2022, Nathan launched the third series of his podcast, Geordie Shore – The Podcast, and filmed the second series of Geordie Reacts. He also participated in Geordie Shore – The Reunion.
