We're now just a few short days away from this year's series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and ITV bosses have been hard at work behind the scenes roping in the biggest and best stars.

And with the phenomenal success of last year's show – hosted temporarily by Holly Willoughby (who was standing in for Ant McPartlin) and Dec Donnelly – the 2019 series is set to be better than ever with the jungle reunion of Ant and Dec.

From the looks of things, the line-up will be a cracker.

The stars have already started arriving in Australia, and they're jetting in from all over the world.

This year's line-up is even rumoured to include the highest-paid star ever, with them said to be commanding a fee of £500,000.

Here's who has landed so far, and who is still expected to arrive…

I'm A Celebrity 2019: Confirmed contestants

Ian Wright

Ian was the first star to jet into Australia for this year's show.

The former footballer star turned pundit is already the bookies' favourite to win, with Ladbrokes offering odds of 5-2 that he'll be crowned King of the Jungle.

And he's laughed off reigning King Harry Redknapp's comments that his temper could get him in trouble.

Told of Harry’s comments after touching down in Brisbane, he said: "Was Harry doing one of those tours where he’s talking? He’s got to fill it up hasn’t he?

"The thing is, we play golf but I didn’t lose my rag.

"What’s he on about talking about losing my rag? I don’t lose my rag anymore.

"I’m much older and wiser. To be honest, nothing gets me angry anymore. I’ve been looking forward to this for so long."

Caitlyn Jenner

Caitlyn Jenner has touched down in Australia, amid reports she's commanding the biggest fee in the show's history – a whopping £500,000.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star, 70, was the second contestant to land in Brisbane Airport for this year's jungle show.

Asked if she was excited to be taking part in the show, Caitlyn said: “Yeah.”

But she declined to answer further questions about whether any members of her family would be joining her or if she wanted to win and then got into a waiting car.

On Sunday, reports said Caitlyn won't be talking about anything her gender reassignment in camp.

Caitlyn – formerly Olympic gold medallist Bruce Jenner – had gender reassignment surgery in 2017, two years after announcing she was transgender.

But she says: "It is not something I talk about. Yes, I had gender confirmation and that for me was important.

"For many trans people it is not important to them. But for me it was.

"Femininity and womanhood is in your brain and in your soul. That is the issue.

"It is not what is between your legs. So yes, I had it done. But that is all out of respect to me, my privacy but also respect to the community. It is really not something you talk about."

Andrew Maxwell

The third celebrity who landed in Australia for the new series of I'm A Celebrity is stand up comedian Andrew Maxwell.

The 44-year-old touched down at Brisbane Airport in the early hours of Monday morning local time having flown in from the UK via Dubai.

As well as doing stand up, the 44-year-old is best known for being the narrator of Ex-On The Beach.

After landing he told photographers he wouldn’t take his sunglasses off as “no one will know who I am anyway”.

Asked about what he was scared of he said: “Snakes but I am going to fight them.

"We don’t have snakes in Ireland and you should never trust an animal without shoulders who can’t shrug.”

Jacqueline Jossa

Jacqueline was the fourth star to arrive in Oz, although she pretended she wasn't there for I'm A Celeb.

The 27-year-old star touched down at Brisbane Airport on Monday having flown in from the UK via Abu Dhabi.

Asked about I'm A Celebrity, Jacqueline was coy and said: "I'm here on holiday, a girls' trip.

"I have heard you get snakes in the toilet over here. Would they be bad, you tell me?"

Former EastEnders star Jacqueline shares two children, Ella, four, and Mia, one, with husband Dan Osborne .

James Haskell

James Haskell is the fifth star to fly in Down Under for I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The former rugby union player and husband of Richard and Judy's daughter Chloe Madeley was spotted landing at Brisbane Airport this morning.

James, 34, will join Ian Wright, Caitlyn Jenner, Jacqueline Jossa and Andrew Maxwell in the jungle.

But when asked by the Mirror if he was looking forward to the show, he pretended he was simply on holiday.

He played down being on the show, saying: "I don't know what you are talking about, me and my mate here are just going to the gym."

Told he might be entering an extreme situation in the jungle he added: "I am a professional rugby player for 16 years so you don't get more extreme than that do you?"

Asked about the small rations in camp compared to what he normally eats as a fitness ambassador, he said: "I will cross that bridge when I come to it."

Haskell was also asked if he had taken any advice from his famous family.

He said: "Yeah my wife said make sure I sleep on the plane and stay hydrated and I wil' be alright."

The other rumoured stars…

Kate Garraway

According to recent reports, Kate has officially committed to the series, which is expected to begin next month.

The fan favourite presenter is reportedly set to jet off the Aussie jungle in the coming weeks.

After being pressed on the rumours by her Good Morning Britain colleagues, Kate played it coy.

"Even if I was doing it I couldn't say I was doing it. And if you're not doing it you can't say you're not doing it," Kate explained.

She then added: "I don't like heights. I don't like the dark. I don't like camping."

Myles Stephenson

Since splitting from Love Island's Gabby Allen, Myles's showbiz star has been… let's say 'on the wane'.

So the X Factor singer could snap up the chance to redeem himself in the public eye.

"Myles is a free agent now and so he can't wait to go to Australia and get away," an insider told the Sun.

"It's a physical and mental challenge and he's really looking forward to testing himself."

The intimate nature of jungle chat might shed some light on his failed relationship with Gabby – after she caught him sexting other women.

Nadine Coyle

Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle is one of the more recent signings for the jungle, according to reports.

The Irish singer, 34, would be a fascinating watch as she could reveal secrets about the band's acrimonious split and her feud with Cheryl.

A source told The Sun: "Nadine is a big name and  ITV was keen to get her.

"Her link to Cheryl makes her an even more exciting prospect.

"It's no secret there’s no love lost between them, and Nadine is refreshingly honest about what went on from her perspective.

"And I'm a Celebrity could well be the start of something big again for her. 

Love could even be on the cards for Nadine when she enters the jungle, as she recently split from her boyfriend of 11 years, footballer Jason Bell.

Andrew Whyment

The 38 year-old actor is a Corrie veteran having starred as Kirk Sutherland for nearly 20 years.

According to reports, he's the most recent jungle signing and the 11th celeb from the Cobbles to join, following in the footsteps of the likes of Helen Flanagan, Nigel Havers and Sair Khan.

A source told The Sun that producers "were chuffed to get Andrew as viewers have watched him on Coronation Street for the best part of two decades, yet know nothing about him away from Kirk."

It's not his first taste of reality telly – he donned his skates in 2012's Dancing On Ice.

Roman Kemp

Capital FM DJ Roman is a strong contender for the jungle and is believed to have saved up his annual leave to cover his time Down Under.

Roman – the godson of George Michael through his mother Shirlie Kemp – has been signed up on the strength of his "quirky personality", which bosses believe will make him a great addition to the cast.

"Roman is a fun, loquacious young star and super-well-connected. He must have countless showbiz tales about his pals," a source told The Sun.

"If he chose to reminisce about George, that could be quite emotional."

His time on the celeb edition of Gogglebox – alongside dad and Spandau Ballet star Martin – won fans' hearts with his bubbly mix of humour and down-to-earth comments.

Predicted contestants

Olivia Attwood

The newly engaged reality star found fame on Love Island 2017, and ever since has been building her career through the likes of TOWIE, Celebs Go Dating and even last year's IAC Extra Camp.

"There have been conversations with I'm A Celebrity. It's ongoing. It would be my dream to do the jungle. I've made no qualms about that. It's such an iconic show," she told the Daily Star.

"Going out there gave me a taste for it. I got to do a trial, which was amazing. I think if I got to go on the show I would surprise people. I'm more of a tomboy than people think. Just because you look a certain way doesn't mean you can’t eat a spider."

Wise words.

It might give Liv some time away from certain TOWIE co-stars she'd been feuding with, namely Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows.

Ronnie O'Sullivan

The snooker champion turned down a place in the line-up last year, choosing instead to focus on the UK Championship tournament.

But he wouldn't rule out a stint in the jungle in the future.

"I was invited but I decided to put it on the back-burner. I'm sure in time I’ll give it a go," he said in December 2018.

"Maybe they can move this tournament. I'll come flying in like Tarzan from Australia to York with my thong on."

Alan Halsall

Coronation Street actor Alan had made no secret of his desire to prove himself on I'm Celeb.

Just a few weeks before the show kicks off, Alan teased fans that this could be his year with a less than subtle post.

The 37-year-old soap star, best known for playing Tyrone Dobbs, shared a snap of him enjoying the great outdoors while dressed in hiking boots, a waterproof jacket and carrying a rucksack on his back looking remarkably similar to one of ITV's famous campmates.

"It's a jungle out there," wrote Alan in the caption – followed up by a telling winking emoji.

In a Q&A with fans last year, Alan was asked: "Who are you hoping goes into the jungle?" one asked him.

He replied: "Me, I would smash it."

It would be strange to have two Corrie stars in camp, after Andrew Whyment reportedly signed up. Stranger things have happened though…

Jenny Powell

After having been off TV screens for a while, presenter Jenny Powell has admitted she's ready for a new challenge.

And what could be more problematic than being thrown into the Aussie outback with a bunch of hungry celebs and creepy crawlies?

In an interview with Closer magazine, mum-of-two Jenny teased the idea that she'd be heading out to Australia later this year.

"I was asked to do I'm A Celeb before and turned it down – however, I'd feel at home with it now," said Jenny.

The telly star said she's hoping to try out more reality TV after a successful stint on Channel 5's Celebs On The Ranch.

"I just loved the experience. It sounds cheesy, but it was more than making TV. It was a journey and I'm so glad I did it," gushed Jenny.

 

Rumoured contestants

Lacey Turner

Lacey may have just given birth to her baby daughter over the summer, but that hasn't stopped speculation that she's up for joining EastEnders co-star Jac Jossa in the jungle.

Lacey hasn't been in the soap since August, having taken maternity leave to care for little Dusty.

But Ladbrokes has offered odds of 7/4 that she'll join the line-up this November…

What do you think?

Amy Hart

Another Love Islander who has thrown her cork-covered hat into the ring is Amy Hart, who was part of this summer's crop of Love Islanders.

The former air stewardess walked out of the villa after being dumped by Curtis Pritchard, who then started making a move on Maura Higgins. Amy was left sobbing after telling the professional dancer she had fallen for him.

And, in a recent chat with Heart Dance Breakfast, Amy admitted she'd jump at the chance of going into the jungle.

"I would love to. I'd absolutely love to. I hate rats. I hate rats. That's the only thing. Like I can deal with the spiders and stuff, I can deal with all the creepy crawlies but it's the rats," she said.

"They put me in that coffin with rats."

Peter Crouch

Former England footballer Peter Crouch has had quite the year of it, welcoming his fourth child with wife Abbey Clancy in June and releasing his autobiography to critical acclaim.

The ex-striker already jokingly refers to himself as a "former footballer" and seems to be looking for his next big challenge.

He even joked last year about the show when Harry Redknapp was on it, tweeting: "Can I just state on record pls . I am not a luxury item #imacelebrity."

Could this be the year we finally see Crouchy performing the Robot under the jungle waterfall?

Brendan Cole

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional left the BBC under something of a dark cloud after 14 years.

He said at the time: "This is quite hard to talk about. The BBC haven't renewed my contract – we get renewed year on year – and they made an editorial decision not to have me back on the show."

"I'm a little bit in shock. I'm quite emotional, a bit raw about it."

Brendan was then passed over as Len Goodman's replacement, but the head judge spot eventually went to Shirley Ballas.

He had a crack at X Factor Celebrity, but after failing to make it through to the live shows, he could be on a plane to Oz.

Ulrika Jonsson

Fresh from the heartbreak of her third divorce, the 52-year-old TV presenter has been at the centre of I'm A Celeb rumours.

She appeared on Loose Women in early October wearing a camouflage jacket – which was immediately seized on by the panel.

"Are you wearing camouflage because you're going into the jungle by any chance?" asked Kaye Adams

"I didn't even think about that," Ulrika laughed

"That's the rumour that you're going into the jungle," said Ruth Langsford.

"Yes, the rumour made its way to me as well – somebody said and my kids were really excited and I said, 'Couldn't I do something like Strictly?' And they went, 'No, that's for old people', which is rude, but no, I don't know anything about the jungle, hate to dispel that myth," Ulrika added.

Hmm!

Piers Morgan

Piers has previously announced he'd be only too happy to stroll into the jungle camp – for the bargain fee of £10 million.

The Good Morning Britain co-host could well take three weeks out of his daytime job of winding up Susanna Reid to chow down on various animal orifices, as Dec has already suggested.

At the Royal Television Society, Dec told Susanna: "There is a guy who sits in this seat next to you who has said he would do it for a certain amount…

"Piers has said he would do it for a certain amount of money, which I think we could meet, but he keeps on wriggling out of it."

If ITV manage to dig around under the sofa and get enough cash to win Piers over, he'll be the most expensive campmate EVER after 2018's series took on Noel Edmonds for a cool £600,000.

Viewers would love to see Piers' mettle put to the test as he's always stirring controversy with some brutal put-downs and…unsavoury opinions.

Theresa May

Britain's former prime minister is sitting pretty in the wake of being ousted from power – and having to hand over those Brexit negotiations to yet another Tory fool.

But she may well do a Nadine Dorries and slip away from the beleaguered House of Commons to do the preferable option of chowing down on some exotic genitals for three weeks.

Tezza wouldn't be the first politician to sign up for the jungle – but she'd certainly the one with the most f**k-ups under her belt.

Maura Higgins

Maura won hearts and minds (and probably a few other body parts that a family newspaper will not be naming) in this year's Love Island.

Despite losing out to Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea, Maura was one of the most popular stars in the villa.

She's currently still coupled up with Curtis Pritchard, but ITV could well be eyeing her up for a stint in the jungle thanks to her huge pull with audiences.

Curtis could be giving her a bit of rhythm guidance for her upcoming stint on Dancing On Ice, set to kick of early next year.

Some fans reckon it's unlikely she'd take to the rink and do I'm A Celeb, as it wouldn't give her all that much time to train.

Still, one cheeky fan slid into ITV's Twitter DMs asking how many retweets it would take to sign her up – and they replied with an easy "10,000".

Summer Monteys-Fullam

The former girlfriend of Paul Hollywood fuelled speculation that she could be starring in this year's series after liking two Instagram posts urging her to make an appearance.

Barmaid Summer was thrust into the spotlight last year when her 30-year age gap romance with the Great British Bake Off judge was made public.

But since their bitter split in September, single Summer has continued to grab headlines and – according to sources – is hoping to market herself as a social media influencer.

She even took to Instagram to respond to rumours she might be heading to the I'm A Celeb jungle.

"Just to set the record straight… I have never contacted or been contacted by the celebrity jungle.

"Neither have I accepted, received or rejected any offers," added.

Could there still be time for bosses to sign up Summer?

Maybe not – she took to her Instagram story last week for a fan Q&A, and confirmed again that she wouldn't be going in.

Still, fans are hopeful.

Richard Madeley

After vehemently denying rumours he'd take up the chance to appear on Strictly Come Dancing, bookies have slashed the odds of Richard Madeley cropping up in the jungle to 3/1.

The veteran presenter said he'd be too embarrassed to appear on national television in full Lycra gear but could he be more comfortable in a Croc Creek camp uniform?

Richard, 63, has already proved himself by attempting replica Bushtucker Trials on spin off show Extra Camp.

In 2017 he breezed through the trial that boxer Amir Khan famously failed at.

Viewers will remember Amir screaming in terror before yelling out: "I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!" when he grabbed a snake rather than a key during the Critter-cal Rescue task.

But Richard took the challenge in his stride and completed it with ease – collecting every single key.

He and wife Judy are also on Cloud Nine after making a return to This Morning presenting duties after 18 years last week.

Duncan James

Blue singer Duncan James would be the third member of the boyband to appear on I'm A Celebrity .

The singer-turned-actor will head Down Under later this year when the show returns to our screens, according to reports.

But there's a big problem facing the 41-year-old.

He has a huge fear of snakes and is well aware that producers will make him come come face-to-face with the reptiles after previously confirming his phobia.

Francis Rossi

Status Quo frontman Francis Rossi, 70, is reportedly being lined up by bosses for the show.

Execs are said to believe he'll hit all the right notes with viewers in the same way that Harry Redknapp did.

A show source said: “Francis would be the perfect successor to Harry. They are both Londoners with the gift of the gab and a wealth of brilliant anecdotes to tell.

“Francis has worked alongside all the greats and would win over a new generation of fans by appearing in the jungle.”

James Lock

TOWIE star Lockie, who is currently dating his co-star Yazmin Oukhellou, has bragged of his ability to survive the jungle.

"I'm A Celebrity is something I've always wanted to do and I think I would boss it in there," he told OK! magazine this year.

"Throw it all at me – spiders, snakes, crocodiles. I'll take them all on. The only thing I don't like is rats and tight spaces."

Craig Charles

Red Dwarf and Coronation Street star Craig has already been in the jungle once before, entering in 2014 for just four days.

Tragically, the actor was forced to withdraw after learning his brother Dean had died of a heart attack back home in the UK.

Craig was given an emotional send-off by his campmates, with most of them in tears as they hugged him goodbye.

Every year since, Craig is rumoured to be re-joining the line-up so he can have a proper stint in the jungle.

Could 2019 finally be his year to shine?

Georgia Harrison

This year's IAC line-up could be pretty Love Island-heavy, if these rumours are anything to go by.

Georgia found fame in the 2017 series where she dated co-star Sam Gowland, and went on to bag herself a role in The Only Way Is Essex and MTV show The Challenge.

She's previously been linked to Stephen Bear and recently treated herself to a new chin – so the Jungle could be an excellent place to show it off.

Jamie Laing

Following the success of Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, who was crowned Queen of the Jungle back in 2017, fellow Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing is tipped to follow in her footsteps.

According to a source close to Jamie, he's been telling friends about secret talks with producers about appearing in camp after having been a regular guest on the ITV2 spin off show in the past.

An insider told The Sun: "Producers love that he has got a TV following and online fans with his own YouTube channel, as they are trying to snap up a younger audience.

“He’s a cheeky chappie and no doubt the public will fall in love with him like they did Toff.”

It'd be good for Jamie to have another crack at a reality competition after his Strictly dreams were dashed by injury.

Still, he was replaced in the dance contest by Kelvin Fletcher, and no complaints here about that decision.

Stacey Dooley

The documentary maker has already walked away triumphant from one reality series, and after her recent headline-grabbing antics, ITV bosses could be hoping Stacey proves a winner in the I'm A Celeb ratings stakes too.

Stacey, 32, has been dubbed the 'Strictly snake' after ditching her boyfriend of five years and coupling up with her Strictly Come Dancing partner Kevin Clifton.

But now she could be meeting the real thing later on this year with her betting odds falling to 3/1.

As part of her Stacey Dooley Investigates series, the presenter has been plunged into a whole manner of perilous situations, so facing Ant and Dec at the Bushtucker clearing should be no trouble for Stace.

Gemma Collins

The GC herself has already had one shot at I'm A Celeb glory, but pulled out just three days into her jungle stint in 2014, citing her "yellow poo" and starvation.

She hadn't even made it into the main camp at the time, and had refused to get in the helicopter as she was scared of heights.

But the 37-year-old TOWIE star reckons now that she's in a better mindset to face the critters – and said she's ready to try again.

"I was meant to go back in the jungle the year after I came out," she told Loose Women in 2018.

"Do you know what, if it come back again, why not, why not? I would probably be terrible at all the tasks and all that."

In March 2019, she admitted to Jonathan Ross that she was verging on desperate to be put back in.

"If I was to go back now… I’ve got a lot more experience. I've got a tougher skin now and I think that’s where The GC came into play.

"If they asked me back, yes I'd go back."

She's making waves with her show Diva Forever, so why not build on that success in the jungle?

Katya Jones

 

Strictly Come Dancing professionals have a long history of success on I'm A Celeb, and Katya could be set to follow in their elegant footsteps after her conduct on last year's BBC series.

She and her husband Neil Jones were embroiled in a love triangle after she was papped snogging her partner Seann Walsh in the street – which both of them dismissed as a boozy night out.

But Seann's then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries was heartbroken and dumped him days after the pictures emerged. Katya and Seann were voted off Strictly three weeks later.

Katya's now split from Neil, so could be yearning for a dash of excitement Down Under.

She's still in Strictly with partner Mike Bushell, but bookies reckon she's got a good chance of throwing in the sequinned towel and hot-footing it over to Australia.

Danny Dyer

Everyone's favourite 'ardman Danny Dyer has been rumoured for IAC for years – so could 2019 be his chance to shine?

He recently admitted to Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain: "You know me Piers, I've done a bit of reality TV."

And with his daughter Dani winning last year's Love Island with ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham, Danny Snr could see this as the perfect time to 'ave a little toe-dip in the reality waters.

Dani Dyer

Yes – like father, like daughter, as Love Island's 2018 champ could turn her attention to getting her hands on the jungle crown.

Unlike her dad, Dani is more accustomed to the trials and tribulations of reality TV, and by refusing to have sex in the villa set herself up apart from the usual trashy comments levelled at reality stars.

The 23-year-old aspiring actress has already done Survival Of The Fittest, Celebrity Gogglebox and Danny Dyer’s Right Royal Family – and with Strictly's unwritten ban on inviting reality stars, the jungle could be beckoning for young Dani…

Kym Marsh

Soap star Kym recently revealed she's leaving Coronation Street after 13 years to concentrate on other projects.

And she appeared to heavily hint about an upcoming jungle stint in a Good Morning Britain appearance, cheekily saying "never say never" to getting the I'm A Celeb call.

But Kym has already signed up to perform in Elf the musical later this year, which starts in December, which makes getting to and from the jungle pretty unlikely…

Lucy Fallon

Coronation Street's Bethany Platt has had a pretty wild couple of years on the soap, but actress Lucy has already bigged up her jungle skills.

"I think I'd be good at the jungle. I like to challenge myself and that's the most challenging show you can do," she said in 2018.

Hmm!

Her character's in hot water with the other Weatherfield folk for snogging Daniel Osbourne as the mother of his child lay dying – the jungle might lighten things up a bit for her!

Michael Le Vell

Corrie's Michael was in talks with I'm A Celebrity bosses for the 2018 series, after the sex abuse allegations he was cleared of in 2013 left him with crippling legal fees.

He didn't make it into the jungle last year – but TV chiefs could well be looking at shelling out the big bucks for such a soap legend, no doubt hoping he'll spill the beans about his back story.

John Barnes

Just like soap stars, footballers tend to do well on the gruelling three-week show.

And John Barnes would be well up for taking a leaf out of his mate Harry Redknapp's book, telling the Jonathan Ross Show: "From the point of view of eating anything, I eat everything and anything, so from that point of view I would do it.

"Lying around doing nothing much, I quite fancy so I'd probably look at it as a bit of a holiday. I would do it, yeah."

John Terry

The former England ace has done a season at Aston Villa as assistant coach – but that doesn't mean he can't be lured Down Under with a giant cheque.

John's another star with a colourful past – especially his fling with Wayne Bridge's then-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel – so bosses would be sure to get him plenty of air time.

Frankie Bridge

One potential campmate who might have a few issues with John Terry is Frankie Bridge, however – she's now married to his former best friend Wayne.

The ex-Saturdays singer has already done Strictly and Celebrity Masterchef, plus watched as Wayne made it almost all the way through to the final of I'm A Celeb 2016.

"I think now Wayne's done it and he loved it and he said he would do it again, it kind of makes me feel positive that I would enjoy it," she admitted in 2018.

Georgia Steel

As one of the most irritating Love Island stars to have ever existed, Georgia Steel is keen to get stuck in to even more reality telly after her Celebs Go Dating experience.

The loyal star, who's just, like, so loyal? would love a crack at the BushTucker Trials.

"I would love an opportunity like that as I think it would be amazing," she told the Express in 2018.

"It would be very scary though. Of course, anything is possible…"

Could her inclusion in the camp be just what the show needs?

Eyal Booker

Eyal is another Love Islander rumoured to be joining the line-up this November, thanks to his heavy hints.

"I'd love to go into the jungle, or The Island with Bear Grylls," he told Radio Times.

"I'd like to do a show away from dating where I'm more into my natural environment, in nature. I'd like to do lots of jumping around and crazy activities."

He added that one of the projects in his pipeline involved "animals", laughing: "I can't tell you too much about it but it's me more in nature, back in my natural environment, doing my thang."

He's got to finish his time on X Factor Celebrity first, where he's in a group with fellow 2018 islanders Wes Nelson, Zara McDermott and Samira Mighty.

Nadiya Hussain

Bake Off winner Nadiya has seen tremendous success since being handed the special cake stand – but she wants more.

"I'd love to do the jungle though, if I was offered," she told Lorraine Kelly recently.

"I like being dirty and mucky and like the idea of living in the outdoors, flying out the planes."

Rahul Mandal

Nadiya's fellow Great British Bake Off winner Rahul won the nation's hearts with his softly spoken self-deprecation and his incredible edible delights.

Could he follow in Nadiya's footsteps? Bookies seem to think so, offering odds of 2-1 on Rahul jetting off to Oz.

Rosie Marcel

Holby City actress Rosie confirmed last year she'd been in talks with ITV about taking up a place in the jungle.

"I've had a couple of meetings. I have spoken to them, it is something I would love to do actually," she said in 2018.

"I think for me it would be an amazing challenge."

Olivia Buckland

Love Island's Olivia has had a frantic year, having married her love Alex Bowen in a romantic fairytale wedding.

And it seems she's got her sights set on the jungle crown, having admitted last year: "I'd love to do I’m A Celebrity, and I'd love to meet Holly.

"I've met Holly a couple of times but to do that on I'm A Celeb and if Ant and Dec could make a comeback I'd absolutely adore that," she went on.

"I love them two and I watched them when I was younger so to be next to them doing something ridiculous, that would be epic."

Stephanie Waring

Hollyoaks and Dancing On Ice veteran Stephanie has also previously spoken of her love of the show, revealing in 2018: "I've always wanted to do the jungle, I'm scared of everything but I'd like to be in Australia.

"There are no pressures from the outside world, no TVs and no phones and I think it's a real test of inner strength which has always appealed to me," she added.

Alexandra Cane

Yet another Love Islander is rumoured for IAC's 2019 line-up – this time unlucky in love Alex, who won over fans after she was dumped by Dr Alex George in the villa.

But she reckons she'd be far more successful in the jungle – even if only in the food department.

"I know I'm A Celeb don't like Love Island people but I'm determined! I will go on that show because I love everything they get involved in," she's previously admitted.

"I love a bit of danger. I love snakes and I don't mind spiders so I think I'd be really good on the show. I'd win everyone meals in the camp. Lara Croft vibes!"

Jack P Shepherd

Coronation Street legend Jack P Shepherd has said he's too scared to do I'm A Celeb.

The David Platt actor revealed his worry that he'd put his foot in it while in the jungle and risk his Corrie career.

Speaking to Best magazine, Jack said: "I do Strictly over any of the others. I couldn't do Dancing On Ice.

"If I did I'm A Celebrity I'd probably upset someone by saying something that's not PC and lose my job."

Ruled out

Jennifer Metcalfe

Fans hopes of seeing the Hollyoaks bombshell take on the Aussie jungle were dashed by none other than the Mercedes McQueen actress herself.

It hasn't stopped fans wishing with all their hearts, but the 36 year-old couldn't have been more clear.

"I'm really not doing that," she told Mirror Online, "But I have got a month off in November. I heard I was doing it but I'm not."

The mother-of-one is now married to Geordie Shore star Greg Lake, who will no doubt be supporting her through all the gruesome Bushtucker Trials if she goes in.
