Hopefully we see some good winners, so make sure you come and see us,' Frankie conveyed on his social media.

However, the renowned jockey chose not to mention a certain TV show in his post, leaving fans to eagerly speculate. His journey to Australia has fueled the anticipation surrounding his participation in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and fans can't wait to see how he fares in the jungle.
