Tommy Little shared footage of a past joke that he would never appear on I'm A Celebrity, captioned 'When jokes come back to bite you!' The post follows the end of the Carrie & Tommy radio show, which ran for almost a decade and was ended by Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little in October.

Why it matters

The post comes as Little is currently unemployed, and he is reportedly among stars rumoured to appear on I'm A Celebrity next year on Channel Seven. The series was axed by Channel Ten in May, which has shifted its future to another network.

The Carrie & Tommy show had run for almost a decade before ending in October. Tommy Little is 41 years old and is currently unemployed following the split.
