Frankie Dettori is one of the greatest jockeys in horse racing history. In October, he caused a sensation by reversing his retirement plans. For an already colorful career, his unexpected involvement in ‘I’m A Celebrity…’ added another layer.

In an interview, he said that Rocco’s physique is excellent and very fast. Amidst life’s twists and turns, Dettori’s wife is still the constant pillar of support behind her husband. It was evident when she stayed by his husband’s side after a near-fatal involvement in an aircraft crash back in 2000. As he mentioned in one of the interview, “I had this feeling of… not fear of dying, because I knew I was going to die, but I was just disappointed that God was going to take me and I was not ready for it.”

Another enthusiast expressed encouragement, saying, “All the best, Frankie!”
