Reality TV fans are really in the trenches right now, trying to find time in their schedule to catch up on the latest seasons of everything from Big Brother and Strictly Come Dancing to Married At First Sight, Drag Race UK and The Celebrity Traitors – with Celebrity Race Across The World on the horizon, too. But in the immortal words of Davina McCall… “fancy another one?”. Yes, we’re now just weeks away from a brand new season of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!, with stars from across the world of TV, music, sport and beyond already tipped to be heading Down Under this time around. Here’s a quick guide to all of the stars currently rumoured to be on the line-up... Vogue Williams Fresh from her performance in last year’s Strictly Christmas special, Vogue Williams looks set to rack up yet another reality TV stint on the upcoming run of I’m A Celebrity. In early October, Vogue was reported by The Sun to be “close to signing up” for the long-running reality show, 10 years after her future husband Spencer Matthews’ ill-fated appearance in the jungle, which ended in him leaving via the back door. Shona McGarty Since parting ways with EastEnders – in which she starred as Whitney Dean for 16 years – Shona McGarty has already been heavily rumoured for reality shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice, but it looks like it’s the jungle that she’s finally signed on the dotted line for. Back in May, The Sun reported that Shona had already entered “advanced talks” with I’m A Celebrity bosses about taking part in the show, hoping to capitalise on her EastEnders popularity. Former Lioness, football pundit, TV presenter and ex-Strictly Come Dancing star Alex Scott is one of the more more recent rumoured contestants. In late October, The Sun said that Alex is currently in “advanced talks” about taking part in the next series, which is just a few weeks away, while “insiders” have claimed the sports legend is hoping she can show off a different side to herself in the jungle. Another soap fave who’s repeatedly been linked with a spot on the line-up is Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley. Lisa previously claimed that I’m A Celebrity was something she wanted to cross off her bucket list before she turned 50, with that milestone arriving in the summer. She told Betway: “Maybe it’s the year when I really need to think about going in. I don’t know! But listen, they ask me every year – the carrot is always dangled.” In August, she was reported by The Sun to be the “first star being teed up” for the new series, but she distanced herself from these rumours during an interview with the same tabloid last month. Nick Ferrari Political pundit and LBC host Nick Ferrari is a regular on shows like This Morning and Good Morning Britain, with The Sun reporting in late September that he had “talked his way into a place on I’m A Celebrity”. The tabloid noted that he was still “in discussions” about a spot on the line-up, citing an undisclosed “source” who claimed bosses were hoping for some “Westminster gossip around the campfire”. Morgan ‘Angry Ginge’ Burtwistle After GK Barry went down a hit with viewers during last year’s I’m A Celebrity, The Sun reported in September that Morgan Burtwistle, the TikTokker best known as the moniker Angry Ginger, could also be putting in an appearance in the jungle. Earlier in the year, Morgan took part in the Soccer Aid charity tournament, where he was impressively named Man Of The Match. Rapper and hit-maker Aitch is one of the more surprising names slated for the jungle this year. The rapper – whose legal name is Harrison Armstrong – is known for his collaborations with big-name stars like Stormzy, Anne-Marie and AJ Tracey, with The Sun claiming in October that producers had their eye on him in the hope of bringing in a new audience to I’m A Celebrity. Kelly Brook Kelly Brook is another name we’re shocked to see on the rumoured I’m A Celebrity cast list, particularly as in 2018 she claimed there were a “million” things she’d rather do than the jungle. “’Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it,” she claimed, quipping: “It’s kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion.” Despite this, The Sun claimed in October that the former Celebrity Race Across The World star had been “wooed with a big-money ITV deal” to head to the jungle. It’s important to note that none of the names on this list have been confirmed yet, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated once there’s more official word…
