She's most famous for playing the role of Charlotte Hinchcliffe in hit TV series The Inbetweeners, but as actress Emily Atack prepares to head into the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle, it's been revealed that one of her family members is VERY well known.

According to reports, Emily's mum Kate Robbins, who is also a famous actress, is the cousin of The Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney, meaning the 'Let It Be' singer could be joining most of the UK as we all become hooked on this year's show.

Emily is one of the 10 celebrities confirmed for the 2018 series, with Deal Or No Deal host Noel Edmonds expected to be a 'secret' late arrival into the camp.

On her arrival at Brisbane Airport earlier this week, Emily expressed her excitement at being a camp mate. She said, "I’m young and single so I’m open to love wherever it might be. I’m really happy John Barrowman’s in there. I know he’s gay, but still I would quite like to cuddle up with him. I’m a huge fan of John, I’m so happy he’s going in."

Meanwhile, it's being reported that this year's famous Bush-tucker eating trials have been thrown into chaos due to three of the celebrities.

The Vamps star James McVey, X Factor singer Fleur East and Coronation Street actress Sair Khan are all vegan, and therefore won't be able to eat any animal products.

The brand new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here with Dec Donnelly and Holly Willoughby begins at 9pm on ITV on Sunday 18th November.
