Traitors star Harry Clark is tipped as next King of the Jungle, as the former Army helicopter engineer sets his sights on I'm a Celeb
He scooped £95,000 after brilliantly but ruthlessly betraying his best friend in the second series of The Traitors. Now Harry Clark has his sights set on another reality TV prize – being crowned I'm A Celebrity 's King of the Jungle. The former Army helicopter engineer is being tipped to join the line-up of this year's ITV show, where he might feel at home among the venomous critters of the Australian rainforest, given that he admitted his treachery on Claudia Winkleman 's BBC programme made him something of a 'snake'. Asked if he was going to be in this year's cohort, the master of misdirection would only say: 'Who knows? I might be but I wouldn't be able to say if I was.' But the 24-year-old told The Mail on Sunday: 'I do like all the snakes and spiders and stuff – I would be really good in the jungle.' If he did go down under, he would be following in the footsteps of a long list of reality stars, including Made in Chelsea 's Georgia Toffolo and Sam Thompson and X Factor's Stacey Solomon – all of whom went on to win the show. With Clark's masterful playing of The Traitors making him a viewers' favourite, he would be a frontrunner to take the title too. Nearly 7 million people watched him land the Traitors prize in 2024, after hoodwinking Mollie Pearce into thinking they were both 'Faithfuls' about to split the prize money. The model, 23, did not do too badly from being stabbed in the back by her closest friend on the show, as it led to her own appearance on another ITV reality show, Dancing On Ice. She later forgave him for his double-crossing. In the past year, Clark has quit his Army job to become a media personality, presenting segments of the BBC's One Show and appearing in shows such as Pilgrimage. His popularity among viewers has made him attractive to brands and he makes the £31,000 he used to earn in the Army every year in two months pushing products on Instagram and TikTok. Despite his riches, Clark still lives with his mother, an NHS nurse, and his father, a baggage handler at Heathrow, and his five siblings in a council house in Slough. He paid off his parents' small debts with the Traitors' prize money and invested the remainder in a high-interest investment account. He said: 'I also took everyone, seven of us, on holiday to Portugal. My family hadn't been away since 2010. 'It was probably the first moment after the show that I patted myself on the back.'

Gemma Collins left 'terrified' after being sent 'rat poison' in the post as TOWIE star ups security at her mansion following menacing letter earlier this month
Gemma Collins has been left 'terrified' after she was sent rat poison in the post as her stalking hell intensifies. The reality star, 44, is said to be 'reeling' after a package containing the toxicant was delivered to her Essex home. Gemma is believed to have reported the incident to police after a 'nasty' glittery note was also found inside the package. A source told The Sun: 'The package was really scary and she was terrified to receive it. 'It was delivered by the postman, but had no postage stamp on it. 'Gemma was worried as it contained rat poison, especially as she has animals at her home.' The reality star, 44, is said to be 'reeling' after a package containing the toxicant was delivered to her Essex home MailOnline has contacted a rep for Gemma for comment. It comes after it was revealed how Gemma was forced to call in police after previously being left 'terrified' by a nasty letter delivered to her home. A source close to the reality star told The Sun how the note detailed the twisted sender's strong dislike for Gemma. After the menacing letter, Gemma was said to have beefed up security at her mansion and police were investigating. Gemma, who was a car dealer before shooting to fame when she landed a role on ITV's The Only Way Is Essex, previously spoke about her experience with stalking. She told how she's had 'scary' people turn up at her shop in Essex and send her terrifying letters. She told how it 'played havoc on her mind' and was the reason she stepped away from her front of house work at her boutique in Brentwood. Appearing on the Daily Mail's Everything I Know About Me Podcast, Gemma said: 'No one would believe the bl**dy crap I've had to deal with. 'I've had a woman stalker that wrote me a letter in white gloves and wanted to kill me. 'You know, people would wish me dead. I'd get all sorts turn up at the shop. Weird. People are weird. And that's why in a way I came away from my shop in the end.' In 2019, Gemma was forced to move out of her home in Essex over stalking fears, with removal vans being pictured at the property at the time. She had been stalked by a man that previously fat-shamed her. It comes after Gemma recently told fans how she had been struck down with pneumonia as she explained her absence from social media. Gemma explained that her condition had been leaving her breathless 'really quickly' but due to medics diagnosing it as viral, antibiotics would be ineffective. She told The Mirror: 'It's shocking, I've had it now for over three weeks and I had steroids given to me by my doctor. It was DJ Fat Tony's wedding and I had to take them to get through that,' 'But I'm off them now and the sickness is really kicking back in. It's so frustrating because I normally have so much energy and I'm always loving life, but now I get really breathless really quickly and I feel like I'm dying.' Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by an infection. Most people get better in two to four weeks, but babies, older people, and people with heart or lung conditions are at risk of getting seriously ill and may need treatment in hospital. Taking to her Stories Gemma shared snaps as she underwent X-rays while praising medical staff for their care. She wrote: 'Thank you to all the amazing doctors helping me your real life angels'. Announcing the news of her condition on Wednesday, Gemma shared a photo of herself in bed looking poorly in bed. She wrote: 'Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. 'I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon.' On her Story she added an update as she showed she was on a drip and had been visited by a doctor. One post that showed a drip in her arm read: 'I'm having to take it easy which is not like me very slow and get so out of breath and tired so quick.' WHAT IS PNEUMONIA? Pneumonia is a type of chest infection that affects the tiny air sacs in the lungs. The condition causes these sacs to be become inflammed and fill with fluid, making it harder to breathe. Pneumonia is caused by bacteria or viruses, with the most common being Streptococcus pneumoniae. It affects between five and 11 out of every 1,000 adults every year in the UK. Anyone can suffer from pneumonia, however, at-risk groups include: Babies and young children People over 65 Those with long-term heart, lung or kidney disease People with cancer, particularly those having chemotherapy Smokers Those on drugs that suppress their immune systems Antibiotics or mechanical ventilator use in hospitals also raise the risk. Symptoms include Coughing up mucus Fever Chest pain Loss of appetite Fatigue In severe cases, sufferers may cough up blood, vomit or have a rapid heart rate. Treatment is usually antibiotics, which may need to be given intravenously in hospital in severe cases.
