The Only Way is Essex icon Gemma Collins will bare all on this Christmas' charity TV special The Real Full Monty, it's been confirmed. In an announcement, ITV has teased "jingle bells and baubles galore" as Britain's Got Talent's Ashley Banjo and Loose Women panelist Coleen Nolan reel in another batch of brave celebrities to raise awareness of live-saving cancer checks.
Stripping off alongside The GC, 42, will be TV presenter Julia Bradbury, actress Sherrie Hewson, Dancing on Ice pro skater Vanessa Bauer, Death in Paradise's Victoria Ekanoye, ex-royal butler Paul Burrell, footballer Ashley Cain, England rugby international Ben Cohen, Nick Collier - better known as Ella Vaday from RuPaul's Drag Race - and fellow TOWIE star Pete Wicks.
This upcoming programme not only sees them battling their fears of being nude in public, The Real Full Monty also reveals the personal inspirations for why they've each decided to get involved. Previous participants of The Real Full Monty, which first arrived on our screens six years ago, include Pointless presenter Alexander Armstrong, Hollyoaks cast member Jamie Lomas, Love Island's Shaughna Phillips, athlete Colin Jackson and McFly's Harry Judd.
In other news, the late Princess Diana's butler Paul, 65, who relived his I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! journey earlier this year in the all-star South Africa series, came out with a never-before-seen letter written by the royal just a few months ago.
Speaking exclusively to OK!, he claimed that she'd penned it approximately between 1993 and 1997, prior to her tragic death in Paris. "I so want the monarchy to survive and realise the changes that will take to put 'the show' on a new and healthy track," read one of its passages.
