Winter is fast approaching, which means the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is back on our TV screens.
Throwing a bunch of celebs in to a jungle to live off rice, beans and some questionable meat for a few weeks will always make for hella hilarious telly; nothing shows someone's true colours quite like camping in a jungle with strangers.
From the icon that is Katie Price and football legend Harry Redknapp to Made in Chelsea OG queen Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo and Hollywood actor George Takei, I'm A Celeb is always brimming with a mix of celebs from all walks of life and all corners of the globe.
And this year's line-up, which has been confirmed by ITV, is no different.
Which celebs are taking part in I'm A Celeb 2024?
Danny Jones
The McFly singer and guitarist is following in his bandmate Dougie Poynter's footsteps and heading into the jungle. Dougie won the show in 2011 and it looks as though Danny is hoping to do the same.
He says, 'I felt very privileged to be asked to do it. This is an amazing opportunity. I had time in the diary, which was insane. I’ll never get the opportunity again. I’ve always learned so much more from pushing myself out of my comfort zone. For me it’s learning about myself as well. And showing my little boy that it’s ok to be scared - it’s do it and conquer it.'
Dean McCullough
Rising Radio 1 star Dean McCullough is also headed to the jungle this November.
He says, 'I’m a massive fan of I’m A Celebrity and I am so intrigued to find out more about it. I do hope to bring lots of good vibes to the camp. Every camp needs someone to bring everyone together when the mood is low and I want to be the person who makes sure everyone is ok or the person who makes up a dance routine in camp. Will I encourage everyone to sing in the camp? Absolutely!'
Coleen Rooney
Coleen Rooney in the jungle wasn't on our 2024 bingo card, but she's signed up to take on the challenge after turning down reality shows in previous years.
She says, 'It has been year after year I have been asked to go on a programme and it’s always been a straight no. Over the years, there have been different things going on in my life and also, my children have been really young. But they are at an age now where I can go away for this length of time. I also feel it’s time to have a challenge for me and do something different. It has taken many, many years but I’m finally doing it. And I have always said if I was going to do one – then it would be this show. I think it will be good for me.'
Jane Moore
Jane Moore is the latest Loose Women panellist to be heading Down Under for I'm A Celeb. Can she follow in Stacy Solomon's footsteps and win?
Jane says, 'I’m apprehensive about being away from home, being isolated and away from my phone and laptop – but actually, this is also the very thing I am looking forward to. I have never done a reality show before and I’ve always said when we talk about these things on Loose Women that this programme would be the one. I like an adventure and it appeals to me.'
Tulisa Contostavlos
Tulisa - aka The Female Boss - was a judge on The X Factor for two years and now she's making her primetime telly comeback on I'm A Celeb.
She says, 'I am like Frodo Baggins on an unexpected journey. I feel really adventurous this year and the place I am now in, I want to do things that take me out of my comfort zone. I have always said I wouldn’t do this show in the past, as there are things that have terrified me. But the person I am now, I want to throw caution to the wind.'
Oti Mabuse
Strictly Come Dancing icon and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse is waltzing her way into the jungle this November (not literally, producers will probably make her jump out of a plane like everyone else).
She says, 'I have been a fan of I’m A Celebrity for so long. Outside of Strictly and Dancing on Ice, it’s the show I watch religiously, and I can remember last year thinking: "Ok, this feels right. I am definitely up for it now, I am up for the challenge."'
GK Barry
TikTok sensation and queen of the Gen Zs (when Charli XCX is on annual leave) GK Barry reportedly turned down a spot on Strictly to take part in I'm A Celeb.
Ahead of her stint in the jungle, Grace says, 'I haven’t slept in a month. I am scared of the Trials and I am genuinely scared of everything. The eating trial to me is the worst thing you can do to a human being. You also don’t know who you are going to click with either but hopefully after the first week, I will settle in nicely.'
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall has been rumoured for a few years now, but 2024 is the year that he's finally going into the jungle after being forced to pull out last year due to a knee injury.
He says, 'It feels like the worst kept secret ever! It was a bit of a shock when I got the knee injury last year and whilst I am signed off surgically, I still have several months of physio ahead of me.'
Alan adds, 'I am very close to Andy Whyment and Jenni McAlpine, who have both done it before, and everyone tells me they had such a great experience. It’s a life experience and I am sure I will learn some new things about myself along the way too.'
Melvin Odoom
There will be not one, but two Radio 1 DJs in the jungle this year as Melvin will be joining his colleague Dean Down Under.
Melvin says, 'Over the years, loads of my mates have done it – Joel Dommett who I love to bits, Roman Kemp, Jordan North and I am very close to Marvin Humes. Marvin has given me some advice on what to expect in camp.'
Barry McGuigan
Former boxing champion Barry McGuigan is taking on yet another tough challenge by appearing on I'm A Celeb.
He says, 'I acted as a referee and appeaser in Hell’s Kitchen. But this is different. A whole different set of circumstances. It’ll be a challenge. I would imagine I’ll be one of the elders and you can look at that in a calming down way. I might get irritated. I really don’t know.'
Maura Higgins
We throw around Love Island legend a lot but let's be honest, Maura Higgins was simply iconic on her series. Get ready to see a whole lot more of Maura as she heads into the jungle...
'This is the only TV show I have ever wanted to do and it’s a real pinch me moment,' she told producers.
'I am ready to step outside my comfort zone. I hope I do make myself proud and I am both excited but also very nervous, because I am scared of absolutely everything.
Reverend Richard Coles
Reverend Richard Coles has been confirmed as a latecomer for I'm A Celeb 2024. He told producers, 'I have flown in from Brazil and the Amazon to do this, as I have been giving some talks there. It’s a tougher gig being the late entrant as you already have some groups forming. And I am nervous of getting in there and not recognising people.
'You could be talking to the most famous influencer in the world and not know who it is. So that will be tricky.'
