Nick Pickard is well known for his role as Tony Hutchinson in Hollyoaks, a character he has played for nearly 30 years.
He made his first appearance on the soap on October 23, 1995, and is the show's longest serving character.
He has been married four times on the soap to Cindy Cunningham, Jacqui McQueen, Mandy Richardson, Diane O'Connor.
His character Tony also has three children, Grace Hutchinson, Holly Cunningham, Harry Thompson.
Nick is estimated to have a net worth of £3.5million with most of his fortune coming from his Hollyoaks salary.
However, his net worth also includes any property, savings and investments he has made.
It's not known how much Nick is being paid for his time in the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.
However, it's believed Nigel Farage is the highest paid celebrity receiving a whopping £1.5million for his time on the show.
Food critic Grace Dent is reportedly being paid £100,000 while Josie Gibson is said to be receiving the same.
Meanwhile, his campmate Nella Rose is believed to be the lowest paid star of this year's series.
In preparation for his time in the jungle, Nick revealed he hadn't had a drink for five weeks.
"I was doing the stop October drinking challenge anyway and I have stuck to it since," the actor shared.
"It is going to be hard on the food front though. I will be the person saying: ‘Have you finished?’
"When we eat, I will hoover any of the leftovers up! Mind you, I don’t think anyone will be leaving anything!
"But I am determined to embrace everything about this show and I don’t want to come out and people moan about ‘that Pickard’.”
Nick added he is hoping to make his daughter proud: "We’ve loved this show for years and I know she has always wanted me to do it.
"It’s been so hard keeping it a secret and whilst she will be fuming I didn’t tell her, I know she will also be happy. I hope I can make her proud.
"My girlfriend is excited too, it’s the longest time we will have been apart and that will be tough.”
So far Nick has managed to avoid much of the drama in camp after Fred Sirieix argued with Nigel Farage about Brexit, Nella Rose then came to blows with Fred about a comment he made regarding her father, and Nella also clashed with Nigel over immigration.
Nick's chance of winning the series aren't looking to good either as he is priced at 33/1 to be King of the Jungle.
If he were to be champion, he'd have to fight off competition from Josie Gibson, Sam Thompson and Danielle Harold.
