Rugby star, Bellator signee James Haskell revealed as cast member for U.K. reality TV show

Just two months after being announced as a Bellator fighter, decorated English rugby international James Haskell has been revealed as a cast member for the U.K. reality television show, I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

Haskell revealed his intention to take part in the jungle-based reality television show via social media on Tuesday, after being leaked as a cast member by several tabloid publications a number of days ago.

“Jungle you say? Will smash it mate. I hope. IT’S OFFICIAL! James is heading down under,” posted Haskell.

The 34-year-old rugby star admitted that he was feeling a “a large amount of fear” ahead of his unscheduled MMA debut at his official Bellator unveiling in late August.
