Carl Fogarty
Speaking to Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard on Thursday’s ‘Good Morning Britain’, he said: “I'm going to go with that girl who chases ghosts - I've forgotten her name. Yvette Fielding, she might do well. The ghost chaser.
“I think there's going to be fireworks this year, I really do.”

Yvette Fielding
Yvette is one of 10 celebrities entering the jungle this weekend, where she’ll be joined by boxer Chris Eubank, ‘Hollyoaks’ actress Jorgie Porter and Union J singer George Shelley, who has been named the bookies’ early favourite for victory.
Foggy has also revealed that he’d be going back Down Under later in the series, but not as a contestant.
He explained: “I'm going out there for the last week and hand over the crown to the new king or queen.”
‘I’m A Celebrity’ returns to our screens for its 15th series on Sunday 15 November at 9pm on ITV.
