With it now confirmed that I’m a Celebrity All-Stars will be going ahead, speculation about who will return to the jungle has been rife.
And now, a supposedly full line-up has been leaked, including the likes of Gillian McKeith, Myleene Klass and more.
On 22nd September, Ant and Dec revealed that the spin-off series would air in 2023, with filming currently taking place in South Africa.
“It’s probably the worst kept secret in television, but we can confirm we’re doing a very special series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa!” Dec said in a video uploaded to the presenters’ joint Twitter account.
“We’re here, it’s going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time.”

So, who is likely to appear on the new show?
According to an insider, the show will be slightly “different” to the original series, and it’s not clear how many celebs will be in the starting line-up.
“It’s a different format to Australia, who knows when and where celebrities will enter camp, literally anything could happen,” a source told The Sun.
“It’s not clear how many will start in camp or how many will be there by the end when one is crowned King or Queen of the jungle, possibly for a second time.
“It’s the best of I’m a Celebrity, quite literally, but there’s some twists and surprises along the way for viewers and campers so it’s not going to be as straightforward as they might think.”
As the momentum builds up, here’s a full list of all the rumoured celebs said to be taking part in I’m a Celebrity All-Stars.
