He might do well on the I'm a celebrity ... circuit for a few years.

He might do well on the I'm a celebrity ... circuit for a few years. You know, I rather think young Dylan will stick to his guns and forge a career in his chosen path. Certainly he's got presence and charisma, but he's also got raw talent and massive potential. Watch this space.

Nadiya, John Waite and Kim-Joy spring to mind. Nancy also has a good home-making social channel and some books. I’ve also seen previous contestants in the food-festival demo tents.

I had no idea that someone who lived in my house for a while had gone on to become a high profile chef and restaurant owner until my daughter told me.
