Grace Dent is one of the brave celebrities who’ve signed up for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
The 50-year-old is one of ten celebrities confirmed to be taking part in the ITV reality show and will be challenged to live in the Australian jungle without home luxuries.
Joining her on the 2023 series are Jamie Lynn Spears, Josie Gibson, Nigel Farage, Nella Rose, Marvin Humes, Fred Sirieix, Sam Thompson, Danielle Harold, and Nick Pickard.
But enough about the others, here’s everything you need to know about Grace and her relationship status…
What is Grace famous for?
Grace is a food critic, journalist, author and presenter.
Her television credits include Masterchef and the Netflix documentary Million Dollar Buffet, and she hosts her own podcast, Comfort Eating, in which she invites guests to discuss their lives through the lens of food, cooking, and cuisine.
Grace has written 11 books in addition to her media work.
Who is Grace’s partner?
Grace is dating Charles, but she keeps him out of the spotlight, so he might not be waiting for her at the end of the bridge when she leaves the jungle.
Because they had mutual friends, they followed each other on Instagram. He asked her to meet for coffee after about two years of liking and commenting on each other’s posts, and romance blossomed.
She now feels very lucky to have found the ‘absolutely gorgeous’ Charles.
While speaking on Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time she said: ‘With my man, Charles, I think almost every day whenever I look at him ‘How did I pull this off?’
Although the couple does not live together, Grace has revealed that Charles is constantly present in her home.
‘The reality is he’s in my house most of the time, making a mess, eating food from my fridge and being looked after,’ she told Evening Standard.
Does Grace have any children?
Grace does not have children and has no plans to do so.
‘I do like children. Just not enough. This still feels like a radical thing for a woman to say,’ she wrote in The Guardian.
‘And children do like me, too. I have a big capacity for silliness, plus I resemble a sort of claymation witch, which they find intriguing. But I didn’t ever truly want one.’
Addressing parents she said: ‘Thank you for raising the future. You’re all amazing. But it’s still a no from me.’
Why did Grace decide to do I’m A Celebrity?

Grace explained her heartfelt reasoning for taking part: ‘I have been through a really difficult time over the last four or five years.
‘My dad had dementia, I cared for him and I lost him. Mum had cancer and I lost her. I think that this has made me very strong and resilient.
‘This is going to be a big challenge and now I am older, life is for living and it’s one of the reasons why I said yes,’ she concluded.
She previously criticised I’m A Celebrity calling it a ‘a puerile venture into starvation, televised constipation and animal cruelty, abbreviated by ads for Iceland £1 curries’ but has clearly changed her opinion!
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! returns on Sunday at 9pm on ITV1.
