Fans of Coronation Street are gutted Kirk Sutherland actor Andy Whyment isn’t part of the starting line-up for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here 2019.
The first 10 contestants to hit the jungle for the 19th series was released yesterday as the show prepares for its launch on Sunday November 17.

Celebrities include former EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa, Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle, Ex-footballer and broadcaster Ian Wright, Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson, Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, Capital Radio DJ Roman Kemp, and former Olympian and American reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner.
Also in the starting line-up are TV presenter Kate Garraway, comedian Andrew Maxwell and former England rugby player James Haskell.
Gutted Kirk from Corrie isn’t on there.
But Coronation Street fans were left disappointed that the Kirk actor was not in the starting line-up after being rumoured to be appearing on the show.
Today (November 12 2019) Andy posted a picture to Instagram of him and his wife Nichola looking at Christmas decorations.

A second commented: “We all want you in the jungle. Winner.”
A third said: “On no, thought you were in Australia.”
Fans on Twitter also shared their disappointment.

In the past celebrities have joined the show later in the series, so it is possible Andy could be a late starter, but this has not been confirmed.
Plenty of Andy’s co-stars have been on the survival show.
Last year Sair Khan, who plays Alya Nazir, came ninth on the show.
