AN I'm A Celebrity star has landed his very own ITV show months after leaving the jungle.

The 52-year-old maître d'hôtel will 'taste Britain' as he travels the country celebrating local cuisine.
Fred, who made himself the designated camp cook during his appearance on I'm A Celebrity, will travel on an eco-friendly motorbike.
The beloved TV star will sample a range of dishes from a bacon sandwich to South Wales' finest truffles.
A teaser for the currently untitled show reads: "The series will see the comedian embarking on a food exploration and travel adventure around the world, visiting fabulous locations and cooking up local dishes along the way."

ITV have not yet released more details of the programme or when it'll air in the schedule.
Fred first shot to fame in 2013 on Channel 4's First Dates and has been a staple on the show ever since.
Meanwhile, this week Fred reunited with his jungle campmate Josie Gibson during an appearance on This Morning.
Fred hosted the programme's cooking segment on Wednesday while Josie, 39, and Irishman Craig Doyle were at the helm.
During his time on I'm A Celebrity, Fred was blasted by fans for his 'bullying' behaviour of his co-stars with many of the critical comments coming after his clash with Josie.
He was given a roasting by viewers on social media after repeatedly speaking to her about her cooking, joking: “It’s like a horror movie from the ’80s.”
