It may only be August, but the weather has already taken on a distinctly autumnal quality, which has got us thinking about the return of some of our favourite reality shows in a few months\u2019 time \u2013 including I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here.<\/p>\n

ITV\u2019s long-running competition, which sees a group of famous faces head to the Australian jungle to go back to basics and endure some seriously stomach-churning bushtucker trials, will be back on our screens later this year, after a special all-star edition featuring returning contestants aired in spring.<\/p>\n

We already know that long-time hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will be back on presenting duties, but we\u2019ve got a while to wait before the 2023 I\u2019m a Celeb line-up will be officially unveiled.<\/p>\n

However, rumours about which stars could be taking part this year are already starting to emerge \u2013 indeed, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has already had to debunk reports that he was in talks to appear on the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your guide to some of the celebrities who may be taking part, or who have previously thrown their hats into the ring\u2026<\/p>

I\u2019m a Celebrity 2023 rumoured line-up: Potential celebrity contestants<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It seems like Alan Halsall, who\u2019s best known for his role as Tyrone Dobbs on Coronation Street, could be heading into the jungle, following in the footsteps of his co-stars Simon Gregson and Andy Whyment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlan is a top lad with bags of personality so ITV are over the moon he\u2019s in talks to join their 2023 cast,\u201d a source told The Sun<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Josie Gibson<\/b><\/h2>\n

TV presenter and former Big Brother winner Josie Gibson has stepped up her role on This Morning recently, emerging as a regular host in the wake of Phillip Schofield\u2019s departure from the show. She\u2019s also proved a hit with viewers, and now ITV is reportedly eyeing her as a potential I\u2019m a Celebrity contender.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJosie is hugely popular with This Morning viewers and producers were determined to get her,\u201d a source told The Sun<\/a>. \u201cShe is seen as the perfect person for the jungle as she\u2019s already such a familiar face on ITV and will bring her fanbase with her.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Danny Cipriani<\/b><\/h2>\n

Rugby star Danny Cipriani is rumoured to be in talks with I\u2019m a Celeb bosses about appearing on the 2023 edition of the show, with reports speculating that ITV could be keen to sign him up in case he opens up about his past love life, having previously been linked to the likes of Kelly Brook, Katie Price and Kirsty Gallacher.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDanny is one of the most exciting signings for this series,\u201d a source told the Daily Mail<\/a>, adding: \u201cThere is also huge anticipation that he will reveal secrets from his showbiz lifestyle\u2026 b<\/span>ut he has a sense of humour too which will ensure he is both popular amongst his camp mates but also with those watching at home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Liz Truss<\/b><\/h2>\n

Yes, you read that correctly. After a spokesperson for Boris Johnson shut down reports that he was in talks to head to the jungle, it has been reported that ITV might have its eyes on another former Prime Minister, Liz Truss. It\u2019s been speculated that the channel is hoping to line up another high-profile political figure, after Matt Hancock made a controversial appearance on the show in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter seeing the effect of having [the] former Health Secretary on the show last year, bosses were keen to repeat the feat in the new series,\u201d a source told The Sun<\/a>. \u201cHigh-level politicians are virtually guaranteed to create controversy in the camp \u2013 which equates to compulsive viewing for fans at home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Denise Van Outen<\/b><\/h2>\n

She\u2019s previously taken part in Dancing on Ice and The Masked Singer and made it to the final of Strictly Come Dancing, but could Denise Van Outen tick off a trip to the jungle soon too?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s previously revealed that she\u2019s keen to take part in I\u2019m a Celebrity around her 50th birthday. \u201c<\/span>I will do it at some point,\u201d the TV host and musical star told The Sun. \u201cI think I\u2019m a Celebrity for my 50th birthday would be something nice to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She celebrated her 49th birthday back in May, so perhaps a journey down under could be on the cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a stint on Dancing on Ice earlier this year, eventually coming in third place, Ru Paul\u2019s Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne has revealed that she\u2019d be keen to take on a few bushtucker trials (unless they involve spiders).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know what, I\u2019ve never even thought about it really, but what an amazing opportunity that would be,\u201d she told Lorraine Kelly during a recent TV interview. \u201cI\u2019m petrified of spiders but get me to that jungle, I\u2019d do it! What a great life opportunity that I\u2019m never going to get again\u2026 I am all for that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With jockey Frankie Dettori set to retire from racing later this year, rumours have started to swirl that he could be swapping the race track for the jungle. Earlier this summer, the odds on him taking part in the ITV show shrunk to just 2\/1, according to William Hill. It wouldn\u2019t be Dettori\u2019s first time under the reality TV spotlight, as he took part in Celebrity Big Brother back in 2013. <\/span><\/p>\n

Former Love Island star Olivia Atwood was left \u201cheartbroken\u201d when she had to leave the jungle last year after just a few days on medical grounds, following a blood test which revealed she was anaemic with dangerously low potassium levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So will we see her back on the show in 2023 if the medical team are happy to have her compete? She\u2019s already said she\u2019s keen on a return<\/a>\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Darts champion Phil Taylor has long had his eye on a spot in the I\u2019m a Celebrity camp. Back in 2017, he said (via The Mirror<\/a>): \u201c<\/span>I would like to do the jungle \u2013 I\u2019m not so sure about Strictly, although it would do me the world of good and get me fit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut if I was asked to do the jungle, and it fits in with my schedule, I would love to have a crack at it.\u201d Could 2023 finally be his year? We\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/span><\/p>\n
