Yahoo Finance Doctor Who's Catherine Tate responds to I'm a Celebrity lineup question
Doctor Who star Catherine Tate has lifted the lid on whether she'd take part in I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
Speaking to OK!, Tate said that she would never rule out going into the jungle, but she can't see herself doing it anytime soon.
"I'm not saying never, I'm just saying, not now," she shared. "I could literally do anything in the jungle, you could put me with rats and bury me underground, anything like that - but I couldn't be eating that old gear they give you."

The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her new comedy show Queen of Oz, in which she stars as Princess Georgiana, a member of a fictional British royal family.
When party girl Georgiana is embroiled in yet another scandal, her father, the king, sends her down under to become Australia's head of state in the hopes of bringing her to her senses, as wells as preventing Australia from leaving the commonwealth.
Tate told OK! that the series was originally titled Queen of Canada, but when she learned she had a fanbase in Australia, they decided to change location.

"I genuinely had no idea there was a fanbase there," she explained. "I was in the American version of The Office and in Doctor Who. So I've got three prongs of the fanbase: comedy, sci-fi and international things.
"I'm always surprised when a lot of people want me to swear at them like an old lady character of mine called 'Nan'."
Meanwhile, Tate is set to reprise her role as Donna Noble alongside David Tennant's Time Lord in Doctor Who's 60th anniversary special this October, before Ncuti Gatwa officially takes over as the Doctor.
Queen of Oz premieres on BBC1 on June 16. I'm a Celebrity… airs on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
Doctor Who returns later in 2023 on BBC One in the UK and Disney+ elsewhere. Meanwhile, in the US, the show airs on BBC America, with series 1-12 available on Max. Classic Doctor Who streams on Britbox in the UK.
