I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returns on Sunday (November 17) at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX. Sam Thompson will host ITV2's I’m A Celebrity…Unpacked to recap all of the jungle action.
Oti Mabuse
Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer and now Dancing on Ice judge.
“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’. Now I have had my baby daughter, I want to get back to the adventurous and fun Oti. I feel ready for a change and doing something completely different. I
will have no make-up, concealer, lashes – it’s going to be nice to be laidback."
Alan Halsall
Actor who plays Tyrone Dobbs in Coronation Street.
"I am looking forward to meeting different people in camp. This is something I have always shied away from in the past. You are never going to get me on the ice, dancing isn’t my thing and this will be much harder than filming a scene in Corrie. There I am pretending to be someone else and delivering lines that are written for me. This is a very different thing. I will miss work too. It’s such a huge part of my life and I have been there for such a long time. I work with my best friends."
Jane Moore
Journalist and presenter on Loose Women.
"I have been on this planet a long time and I will be the person who will try to help them out. My two daughters are really up for me doing it and my youngest one keeps telling me: ‘Mum, it is going to be amazing’. If there is someone young in there struggling, I know it will appeal to my maternal side. But, cooking you will not find me putting myself forward for. I am not a good cook, I am rubbish. I know the food is going to taste pretty insipid too."
Dean McCullough
Radio presenter on BBC Radio 1.
"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! When Ant and Dec say things like, ‘We are going to suspend you off the side of that cliff’, you know it is not going to be a fun day out. It’s no Alton Towers – it will be torturous. I made the mistake of watching episode one from last year and I nearly passed out watching it. I had to turn it off. And I hate cockroaches. There was a cockroach in a hostel I stayed in once and I checked out during the middle of the night, as the thought of it – urgh, even talking about it now gives me the chills."
Tulisa Contostavlos
Singer and former member of N-Dubz.
"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.”
Melvin Odoom
TV presenter and radio DJ.
"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."
Coleen Rooney
Columnist and wife of footballer Wayne Rooney.
"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."
Barry McGuigan
Former boxer and fight promoter.
"My sons, who I talk to all the time and ask for advice, I said, ‘Should I do this?’ They said, ‘Yeah, dad. You’ve got good discipline, you’re good with people and invariably you’ll be aggravated and irritated and annoyed, but you’ve got good forbearance. You’re good at handling stuff like that.’ I’m hoping that I can do reasonably well and make a good account of
myself. They also said, ‘Don’t pick your ears or pick your nose! And try not to use bad language'."
GK Barry
Content creator.
"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."
Danny Jones
Guitarist from McFly and coach on The Voice.
"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 – let’s do it and conquer it."
