Frankie Dettori’s Post-Retirement Plans: From I’m A Celeb to Arsenal Fan

Braving the I'm A Celeb Jungle

Rumors have been circulating that Frankie Dettori, the world's most famous jockey, may be heading to the jungle for the hit ITV show, I'm A Celebrity. The 52-year-old has been in advanced talks with show bosses and his larger-than-life personality would surely be a hit with viewers. Fans can expect to see Dettori taking on bushtucker trials alongside stars like Olivia Attwood.

A New TV Career

Frankie Dettori's charismatic and opinionated nature makes him a natural fit for television. Broadcasters such as ITV Racing and Sky would be eager to sign him, particularly due to his insights on winning at prestigious races like Ascot and Goodwood. With his ability to deliver one-liners and make racing accessible to all, Dettori will surely be in demand. And let's not forget, he can charge top dollar for his services.

World Travel with His Wife

Despite his travels as a jockey, Frankie Dettori still wants to explore the world with his wife, Catherine. The couple will have the opportunity to visit exotic destinations they may have missed during his racing career. Fans will be waiting for his Trip Advisor reviews!

Watching His Beloved Arsenal

Besides racing, Dettori is an avid Arsenal fan. Previously, his decision to stay in Britain after a night of partying led to a stroke of luck in his career. Now he can spend even more time in the boxes with the likes of Piers Morgan. Who knows, maybe Mikel Arteta will even invite him to give a motivational talk to the squad.

Continuing to Race

And finally, the big question remains: Will Frankie Dettori continue to race after retirement? While he had previously expressed his willingness to consider the right offer, it seemed unlikely. However, with Kia Joorabchian's Amo Racing operation recently searching for a new jockey, could they entice Dettori with a pay-as-you-ride deal? It may not be as far-fetched as it sounds, but Dettori has made it clear that the money would need to be 'stupid' for him to return to the track.
