The first name for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here 2015 has been revealed. And when we say revealed, we mean heavily suggested, rumoured and is probably likely to make an appearance.
Rustie Lee - the ‘80s TV chef - was due to join the show last year, but had to drop out, so it would make sense that she’s ready to hop back on the plane and gobble up some ‘roo nuts, according to The Sun.

Rustie frequented lots of kids' TV shows in the ‘80s, and the word is that TV producers have wrangled her for her strong political views. And no, she probably won’t be whipping out any revelations about government big-wigs and farmyard animals, but she did join UKIP in 2004 and ran (and failed) in the general election in 2005.
Rustie, who made an appearance on* Celebrity Spa* back in 2013, is rumoured to be joined by EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing star, Jake Wood. Former Shadow Chancellor and own-name-tweeter Ed Balls had also been hotly topped to be making his way Down Under.
However he rejected the offer, revealing in August: “No. I wrote back to say that I’d already subjected myself to one high-profile public vote this year, and I wasn’t really sure that I wanted a second one.
“At least having to eat bugs and crickets wasn’t part of the election process. I’m not tough enough for that.”
I'm A Celeb 2015 rumoured line up
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here 2015 rumoured line up
Rustie Lee - '80s TV chef and UKIP candidate
Anyone born later than 1985 probably won't have heard of Rustie - she was on Celebrity Super Spa back in 2013 though. Anyone? ...No?
Jake Wood - aka EastEnders' Max Branning
heat's Weird Crush 2015 winner would look mighty good in some cargo shorts, that's for damn sure. After his Strictly success, would he really want to go into the jungle to feast on weird anuses, though?
Ed Balls - politician
Ed turned down the offer to go on IAC in August 2015, saying: “No. I wrote back to say that I’d already subjected myself to one high-profile public vote this year, and I wasn’t really sure that I wanted a second one. “At least having to eat bugs and crickets wasn’t part of the election process. I’m not tough enough for that.” Guess that's a no to Balls, then.
Craig Charles - Coronation Street actor
Craig sadly had to drop out of his 2014 jungle stint following the death of his brother, so there's a slim chance he could make a comeback this year.
Gemma Collins - ex-TOWIE cast member
Gemma Collins managed a whopping THREE nights in the jungle before she quit in last year's show. Nevertheless, she did make for amazing telly and with her new fitness regime, she might be able to hack it better this time around. Sadly, it's been reported she hasn't passed this year's strict screening process, so her odds of appearing Down Under look increasingly unlikely...
Spencer Matthews - ex-Made In Chelsea
This MICster couldn't be MORE out of place in the Australian jungle if he tried. Can you even imagine what he'd be like with all the female campmates? Mind you, everyone else in the line-up would love having him there - he'd be guaranteed to get most of the Bushtucker Trials if the British public have anything to do with it...
Jamelia - Loose Women panellist
Loose Women's Jamelia is 10/1 to be named Queen of the Jungle, according to Paddy Power. Though she's currently still performing on rival BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, so we're guessing her schedule won't allow her to guzzle unsavoury koala bits just yet.
Susannah Constantine, TV presenter
Sassy Suse, who along with Trinny Woodall had hit TV show What Not To Wear for five years, has apparently been offered £200,000 to appear on I'm A Celeb. But will she wear cargo shorts?
Jorgie Porter, ex-Hollyoaks star
Jorgie has actually been spotted in Australia's Brisbane airport ahead of I'm A Celeb's kick-off, so she's looking a pretty likely candidate for the jungle. No doubt she's packed plenty of bikinis for those waterfall scenes...
Stephanie Davis, ex-Hollyoaks star
Poor old Steph was actually signed up for this year's I'm A Celeb, but had to pull out two weeks before the start date because of her severe allergy to nuts. Actual nuts, not kangeroo balls, we're guessing...
Chris Eubank, ex-boxer
The eccentric - some might say reclusive - former sportsman has reportedly signed up for I'm A Celeb in return for a tasty £200,000 cheque. We're not sure how he'll cope in the jungle without his collection of excellent suits and fondness for silver-topped canes...
Yvette Fielding, Most Haunted presenter
Yvette's been touted for the IAC line-up, but with a skin condition that makes her very sensitive to sunlight, would a jungle stint be the best idea? She also tweeted on Nov 2 that she was off to the Midlands for filming - or could that have been a cheeky ruse to throw people off the scent?
Ferne McCann off TOWIE
A show source said of the reality star: “Ferne is incredibly outspoken and she can be a bit of a stirrer. So if she rubs some of her camp-mates up the wrong way, sparks will really fly.”
Chloe Sims off TOWIE
There was speculation this reality star could be joining the jungle line-up earlier this month, but due to the tighter screening process, it's been reported that Chloe was turned down by show bosses. Shame.
George Shelley off Union J
This little poplet - who's blossomed into quite the sexy swan - has been rumoured for IAC for a while now, along with bandmate Josh Curthbert. Could we bare to see that angelic face covered in cockroach poop, though?
Josh Cuthbert off Union J
Lovely Josh was actually rumoured for the jungle before bandmate George, and we must say it's an extremely close toss-up between which one of them we'd most like to see under a waterfall. Can we have both, please?
Caitlyn Jenner
Yeah, no. This is 99.9999999% definitely not happening... but just ponder a universe in which it did.
Vicky Pattison off Geordie Shore
If there's one person we could rely on to cajole all the campmates off their arses, it's VP. Can you even imagine what she'd be like in the jungle? It would be IMMENSE.
Lady Colin Campbell, royal biographer
The woman behind one of the most explosive books about Princess Diana is now said to be up for the challenges of the jungle - but will she survive without her aristocratic comforts?
Leslie Ash
Actress Leslie's been keeping a low profile of late, what with the lip filling treatment that exploded her pout all those years ago, then contracting a nasty strain of MRSA that gave her mobility problems. Having said that, if she can survive all that lot, an all-rice diet and a couple of fish head baths will be an absolute breeze in comparison.
Kieron Dyer
Footballer Kieron's most recent claim to fame off the pitch was being romantically linked to Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. He's been spotted touching down at Brisbane airport this week though, so he's almost certainly part of the line-up.
Brian Friedman
Choreographer Brian is the creative director of The X Factor, so we'd be pretty surprised if Simon Cowell let him go while the show is airing. Saying that, Brian would be an ace addition to the I'm A Celeb 2015 line-up purely on the basis of his bitchy comments.
Duncan Bannatyne
Probably the most grumpy multimillionaire to have ever appeared on Dragons' Den, Duncan would almost certainly challenge Spencer Matthews for the public's hatred.
