Tony Bellew has entered the I'm A Celebrity jungle - and he may have an early clash with Nigel Farage.
Bellew entered the camp as a 'latecomer', alongside legendary jockey Frankie Dettori.
As per I'm A Celebrity, the pair will have to take part in a trial on their first day in front of their other campmates.
As shown in a trailer for the newest episode, which airs tonight, Bellew and Dettori will be asked to move pig testicles from one end of an arena to the other - whilst carrying them in their mouths.
Once the trial ends, Dettori and Liverpool-born fighter Bellew will be involved with the rest of the camp.

And there is likely to be some strong words shared by Bellew and Farage when they first meet.
In November 2022, Farage posted a video on Twitter with the caption: "According to the ONS figures, London, Manchester and Birmingham are now all minority white cities."
The former Brexit Party and UKIP leader attracted criticism for the post from Bellew, who responded: "Why does someone's colour matter? Who cares if you're white, black, yellow or pink? All that matters is are they good or no good people!
"Learn to see people for who they are and not what they look like! It's cos of people like you that racism still exists! Absolute maniac you are!"

Farage has yet to respond or provide comment on Bellew's tweet.
The 60-year-old, meanwhile, has said he could have to withdraw from a trial if it contains weightlifting or a similar action.
The viewing figures for the launch show of this year's I'm A Celebrity fell by over two million viewers - the lowest amount since the show began in 2002.
Other contestants include former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold, First Dates host Fred Sireix and Zoey 101 star Jamie Lynn Spears.
