Brocket finished fourth on the 2004 series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
He appeared in court today wearing a grey suit and white shirt and was restless as he sat in the dock.
He spoke to confirm his name and age, and while he did not enter formal pleas at this stage, his defence barrister indicated it would be a not guilty plea.
Due to legal restrictions, the victim cannot be identified.
Brocket, who lives in Fullham, London, was previously accused of a sexual assault which allegedly took place on May 5 in East Sussex.
This charge was dropped at a hearing yesterday.
Recorder of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Judge Martin Edmunds KC, has set the trial date for November 1, 2027.
He said: “I apologise to all concerned that it is so far into the future.”
The judge blamed the backlog and an increased number of people in custody awaiting trial for the delay.
He added: “It means we are unable to achieve earlier trial dates.”
Brocket was arrested on September 26 accused of a sexual assault.
He came fourth in series three of I’m A Celeb – beaten to the final by Peter Andre, Jennie Bond and winner Kerry Katona.
His soaring popularity saw him receive almost £1million in offers and write bestselling autobiography Call Me Charlie.
He went on to host ITV game show Scream! If You Want To Get Off and Bad Lads Army spin off programme Privates Exposed.
His daughter Antalya Nall-Cain married Queen Victoria’s great-great-great-great-grandson Prince Frederick Alexander of Prussia in 2020 – but they split in March.
