With the amount of celebrity editions and All Stars series cropping up on the telly calendar these days, we can only imagine staple celeb shows like I'm A Celeb are feeling the pressure to bring in the box's biggest stars more than ever.
And if the I'm A Celeb 2024 line-up rumours are true, then kudos the big wigs, because from what we hear a controversial Love Island star (one who recently split with the Pricess of Love Island), a Strictly Come Dancing legend, a Corrie fave, and a TikTok queen are all in final talks to appear on the popular ITV reality series this November.
Of course, we're weeks away from knowing for sure, so this list is all speculative blah blah blah, but to be honest, if even one of these stars ends up jumping out of a plane, getting buried alive with ants, or downs a pint of rotten fish guts, we'll be happy.
Tommy Fury
Tommy Fury recently split from fellow Love Island 2019 star Molly Mae Hague, amid cheating allegations (allegations Tommy has denied). Could I'm a Celebrity 2024 be the platform he needs to clear his name? According to The Sun, ITV bosses and Tommy are in serious talks.
A show insider told the publication, 'Tommy is a great name as a potential campmate as he’s already known to the ITV audience and he’d be brilliant in the Bushtucker Trials.
'Bosses are talking with lots of celebrities and are determined to make this year’s line-up one of the best.'
Oti Mabuse
Strictly icon and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse is rumoured to be waltzing her way into the jungle this November (not literally, producers will probably make her jump out of a plane like everyone else) and we need you all to start manifesting this one, because Oti would be nothing short of iconic in the jungle.
An ITV insider told The Sun, 'Oti is a brilliant name for I’m A Celebrity, she’s hugely popular and well liked by the ITV audience so bosses are over the moon she could be a campmate this year.
'She’s very much seen as being part of the ITV family of stars and is always guaranteed to be great fun.'
If the rumours are true, Oti will be entering the jungle exactly a year after the 'extremely stressful' birth of her daughter in November 2023.
Alan Halsall
The Coronation Street actor has been rumoured for a few years now – could 2024 finally be his year? The bookies seem to think so as they've tipped him as one of the favourites to head down under in the coming weeks.
GK Barry
TikTok sensation and queen of the Gen Zs GK Barry is rumoured to be in advanced talks for this year's series, after she allegedly turned down a spot on 'scandal-plagued' Strictly. According to reports, Grace's involvement is hoped to draw in a younger audience for the ITV staple this autumn. Again, manifest, people.
Olivia Attwood
Fans have been crying out for an Olivia Attwood return to the jungle ever since she was forced to drop out in 2022 after just two days following concerns that she was suffering from anaemia; and now, she has officially confirmed that she will indeed be return to the jungle – at some point. Just maybe not 2024.
The Love Island queen recently told The Sun, 'The jungle will be getting finished at some point, one thousand per cent. I can’t rest until I’ve finished it.
'But probably not this year. From a purely logistical point of view, it would be almost impossible.
'Plus, being a contestant is not something I’m prioritising because I think I just want to really focus on being a host right now.'
