EXCLUSIVE: I’m a Celebrity’s Joel Dommett Reveals Staggering Bedtime – As He Flies Entire Family Over

Joel Dommett Opens Up About His Unique Bedtime and Family Arrival in the Jungle

Presenter Joel Dommett is gearing up for another exciting season of the popular spin-off show, *I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Unpacked*. This year, Joel is taking a heartwarming step by flying his entire family out to the jungle, following in the footsteps of main show host Dec Donnelly, who also brings his loved ones along during filming. Joel’s decision highlights the importance of family support amidst the demanding schedule of the show.

Joel, who shares a four-year-old son named Wilde with his wife Hannah Cooper, expressed his enthusiasm about having his family close by during filming. “This year I’m taking my family with me, so it’s going to be great getting home from work and being able to see them and Wilde learning how to swim and all of that stuff,” he revealed. This intimate glimpse into Joel’s life shows how he balances the pressures of hosting with his role as a devoted father and husband.

One of the most surprising revelations Joel shared is his unusual bedtime during the show. “Hopefully I can enjoy a bit of family time before I have to go to bed at 3pm in the afternoon,” he said. This staggering early bedtime is a necessity due to the demanding filming schedule, but having his family around makes it more manageable and comforting.

Behind the Scenes: Joel’s Hosting Challenges and Family Support

Joel Dommett’s candidness about his struggles during the show adds a relatable human element to the glitz and glamour of television presenting. Married to Hannah since 2019, Joel admits that packing for the jungle is always a challenge. “Every year halfway through the run, I realise I’ve run out of clothes and I have to go to the nearest town to buy lots of stuff. I never take enough, my wife despairs at my packing,” he confessed with a laugh.

The reality star also shared a practical tip that might surprise fans: “At some point, you have to understand that you have to wash your pants and do a washing run every five days.” This glimpse into the less glamorous side of jungle life shows that even celebrities face everyday challenges, and having family nearby makes those moments easier to handle.

Joel’s hosting role on *I’m a Celebrity Unpacked* pairs him with Capital Radio DJ Kemi Rodgers. Together, they offer viewers an entertaining and insightful look at the main show’s happenings. Joel is particularly excited about the celebrity guests this year, which include Strictly Come Dancing’s Seann Walsh, footballer Jill Scott, and former King of the Jungle Sam Thompson.

Joel praised Jill Scott, saying, “Our last Queen of the Jungle, Jill Scott came out last year and she’s just so lovely and so funny and also an incredible athlete. It’s a mad thing, you forget that alongside this she’s also an incredible football player. I’m excited to hear what she thinks about the new campmates.”

Exciting Celebrity Lineup and Co-Host Kemi Rodgers’ Jungle Memories

The upcoming series promises plenty of star power and entertainment. Seann Walsh, who appeared on the main show in 2022, is a familiar face to Joel. He reminisced about their early days in comedy: “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. So he beat me in a competition and rightly so, he was better at comedy than me. We’ve buried the hatchet now.”

Co-host Kemi Rodgers is equally enthusiastic about the show’s return. She shared a humorous anecdote from last year’s filming when a jungle critter landed on her head during her very first introduction. “That’s the brilliant thing about Unpacked. If something goes wrong, it’s going wrong and everyone’s going to see it,” she said. “I remember my first ever show of the first series last year, the moment that Joel was introducing me, for the first time, a massive bug landed on me and I was screaming. And this was my introduction into the entire show and I had to apologise.”

The main show’s cast flying out to Australia this weekend includes a diverse group of celebrities such as Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, former model Kelly Brook, ex-EastEnders star Shona McGarty, YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle (known as Angryginge), musician Martin Kemp, comedian Ruby Wax, TV presenter Alex Scott, and Jack Osbourne. The 25th series, hosted once again by Ant and Dec, is set to premiere in just a week.
