The 31-year-old stand-up comedian has cancelled a number of tour dates so that he can face his fears in the Australian outback.

Joel also starred in 2008 film The Edge of Love, the BBC's Casualty and teen drama Skins.

Joel said he thinks he will be able to lift spirits when morale is low in the camp
I think I will be a good comforter in the camp
He's very excited to experience life in the jungle and is looking forward to meeting his fellow campmates.
"I have no idea who my campmates are and whether they have been in the business for years or if they are up and coming talent but I would like to think I am in the realm of 'up and coming'," Joel commented.
"It will be a good opportunity for people to get to know who I am and hopefully I will come across in a nice way and they will think 'aww he is nice, I want marry him'."
The comedian thinks he will be able to cheer his campmates up when they are left with only rice and beans for their dinner and morale is low.

He will be joined by the likes of Carol Vorderman, Ola Jordan and Adam Thomas in the jungle
"I think I will be a good comforter in the camp," he said. "When people are feeling bad, I can bring them back up again.
"But then again, the thing about comedians is we are not the funniest in real life. I am definitely one of the more upbeat ones though."
See Joel enter the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp on Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
