I'M A CELEBRITY's fan-favourite shopkeeper Kiosk Kev will be back for the 2023 instalment of the hit reality TV series.<\/p>\n

The Outback Shack proprietor, who replaced I'm A Celebrity's Kiosk Keith, is set to pose a number of mind-boggling questions to the show's celebrity line-up in return for some sweet treats.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

This series, he even gets a new cabin in a huge show shake-up.<\/p>\n

Yet away from the ITV reality series Kiosk Kev – whose real name is Mark Herlaar – is a lime farmer.<\/p>\n

He has a side-hustle running an online kombucha business, Manifest Kombucha.<\/p>\n

Mark runs his drinks company from his farm in Queensland and juggles it with his I'm A Celeb role, which he began in 2018.<\/p>\n

He was first to tell us: "Coronavirus was actually an opportunity wrapped in the cloak of disaster.<\/p>\n

"After losing around 150 tonnes of fruit due to club and pub shut downs, as they were the largest uses of our limes, it made us stop and think: \u2018What is the most valuable resource on this farm other than ourselves?\u2019 The answer: Water!\u201d<\/p>\n

"We have been making kombucha as a family for more than 20 years and decided kombucha would add far greater value to the water.
So, we constructed a purpose-built kitchen, obtained a food licence and started to produce Manifest Kombuca."<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The Sun Online can also reveal the hatch-slamming star is an Aussie reality TV veteran with a thing for posting topless selfies.<\/p>\n

The mute ruler of the Outback Shack actually competed on the Aussie version of TV show Survivor.<\/p>\n

Hailing from the town of Toowoomba in Queensland, where I'm A Celeb is filmed, he was recruited by ITV after advertising himself as an actor on casting websites.<\/p>\n

And the dad-of-two will have a very good idea what new campmates Nigel Farage and Josie Gibson and the others stars are going through – because he's done it all himself.<\/p>\n

In 2017, he was one of the contestants on Australian Survivor, a reality show which sees 24 castaways battling to survive after being dropped into the Samoan jungle.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He was adored by viewers for his selfless nature, but lasted only 11 days before being voted out by his back-stabbing campmates.<\/p>\n

The Kiosk Kev star later contracted dysentery he picked up from the water well they had dug in the jungle.<\/p>\n

He explained, in true Aussie language: "It manifested two days after I got home and I was just crook as a dog, like I had dysentery and was nauseated and sick.<\/p>\n

"And if that had of played out [in camp] I would have been very disappointed to be going out, basically, in a body bag with the zipper open."<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Mark has also appeared on Australia's answer to Family Fortunes, a primetime hit called Family Feud.<\/p>\n

However, away from the limelight he quietly runs his own business growing limes and mushrooms – in stark contrast to the sugary treats he serves in the Outback Shack.<\/p>\n

Some Kiosk Keith loyalists treated the arrival of Mark's character Kev with suspicion, posting the likes of: "Don't like this. THIS IS CHANGE AND IT IS NOT COMFORTABLE."<\/p>\n

However, others\u00a0have been delighted with the scary-looking new arrival, commenting on his magnificent beard.<\/p>\n
