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.
So kudos to the ITV bigwigs, because this year's line up is top tier. From a Strictly Come Dancing legend and a Corrie fave to a TikTok queen and an actual priest. Oh, and not forgetting a Love Island icon...
It's the best bunch of people we've seen in years.
Who is taking part in I'm A Celeb 2024?
Danny Jones
The McFly singer admitted that I'm A Celeb has always been on his 'bucket list,' but also revealed he is scared about one thing in particular.
'I’ve tried to forget all of my phobias. I’ve never been put in a situation like this before. I’m hoping that I don’t come home with new phobias,' he joked.
Coleen Rooney
Closer magazine did report that Coleen Rooney was 'keen to reinvent herself' this year and it looks like we'll see a whole new side to her amid rumours that she's signed up for I'm A Celeb 2024.
Chatting about what her role will be in the jungle, Coleen admitted we shouldn't expect to see her cooking anytime soon.
'I would not like to give someone food poisoning', she confessed. 'Yes, I cook at home, but what you get given is not what you cook every day.'
Dean McCullough
Rising Radio 1 star Dean McCullough is also heading into the jungle this November and confessed he is scared of, well, everything.
'I am terrified of everything and the more I think about being put in the ground with 50 snakes or getting those green fly things that bite poured over me – well there's just no point thinking about it, as otherwise I won’t get on the plane!'
Jane Moore
Jane will be following in the footsteps of fellow Loose Women Charlene White, Stacey Solomon and Olivia Attwood and heading into the I'm A Celeb camp following her split from husband Gary Farrow.
Not only is Jane an organized queen she also reckons she'll be able to 'fill the hours with good chat'.
'I find people really interesting and I want to have organic conversations,' she declared, 'I won’t be like, "Tell me about the time…" but I will be asking questions just because I am interested.'
Melvin Odom
TV presenter and DJ Melvin has revealed that he is concerned he might end up the jungle enemy due to one particular bad habit.
'Snoring is my biggest fear,' he confessed, 'I have been trying to train myself, as messing with people’s sleep is a big deal. I might be the camp’s enemy if my snoring comes out. It’s loud!”
Tulisa
N-Dubz singer and former X Factor judge Tulisa is also heading in to jungle and is channeling her inner fantasy hero.
'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,' she revealed and we all here for this adventure.
Barry McGuigan
Former boxing champion Barry doesn't have any specific phobias but he is scared about one thing in particular.
'That’ll be the biggest challenge of all, learning to cope without food, with very bland stuff to keep you going and for just putting in the calories so that could be the most difficult challenge,' he disclosed.
Oti Mabuse
Strictly icon and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse will be waltzing her way into the jungle this November but admitted she is 'petrified.'
'In my head I am a superhero but snakes are not my thing. I am petrified of them and they are my biggest fear,' Oti explained.
Alan Halsall
The Coronation Street actor has been rumoured for a few years now and turns out that 2024 is finally his year.
After having to pul out last year due to a knee injury Alan is up for the challenge, '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.'
GK Barry
TikTok sensation and queen of the Gen Zs GK Barry admitted what she is most excited about and it has NOTHING to do with the actual I'm A Celeb experience...
'I can’t wait to meet them in Australia in the jungle [Ant and Dec]. I am also excited to meet everyone on the programme, as the cast is always so amazing.'
Maura Higgins
We're not sure if Tommy WAS going into the jungle whether Maura Higgins would have signed up, tbh – she is besties with Molly Mae after all.
Either way, it's been confirmed that she's going into the jungle. We cannot wait to see her become besties with Coleen, Tulisa and Oti.
Rev Richard Coles
The Sun revealed that former Communards star, Strictly contestant and DJ Rev Richard Coles would be taking part in I'm a Celeb stint in 2024.
