FOOTBALL’S David Ginola and the rest of this year’s I’m a Celebrity opening line-up pose in their castle clobber for the first time.
The ten stars from screen, sport and music will enter the camp on Sunday.
Former Newcastle and Spurs winger David wants to make things tasty when they join hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly at Gwrych Castle, North Wales.
The Frenchman, 54, joked: “I will be hoping to add some garlic and rosemary to the food.

At 78, Dame Arlene Phillips is the ITV show’s oldest contestant yet.
But the veteran choreographer laughed: “I’m always the oldest!”
