CORRIE star and I’m a Celeb runner-up Andy Whyment was treated to a down-to-earth welcome home party.

The Walkden actor wrote about his party on social media.

The 38-year-old was a big hit with fans on the ITV reality show, and finished just behind fellow soap star Jacqueline Jossa.

Andy, who plays Kirk in Coronation Street, posed with co-stars Sam Aston and Alan Halsall.

He was also reunited with a number of jungle critters including a snake thanks to local firm Curious Critters.

During the Coming Out Show, a sobbing Andy vowed never to leave his children Thomas, 10, and Hollie, eight, again having spent three weeks away from them in the jungle.

Andy has said his new fame will not change him and says he is desperate to get back to his “boring life” of sitting on the sofa and going to Asda.

He said he was not going to spend his big-money earnings from the show on anything exciting – but will pay off his mortgage instead.

He said: “I’m looking forward to just getting back into my normal boring life.”
