I'm A Celeb: All the celebs rumoured as late arrivals for the South Africa series
More famous faces are set to enter the camp during the show...
Last updated 26th Apr 2023
It had been rumoured for years, so its no surprise fans were over the moon last year when Geordie duo Ant and Dec confirmed the hugely-anticipated new series I'm A Celeb: South Africa.
The show, which was filmed in South Africa in 2022, will include some of the best and most memorable celebrity contestants from the last 20 years of hit entertainment show I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Unlike the main series, I'm A Celeb: South Africa won't be live and has already been filmed. ITV have now confirmed the first group of celebs we will see on the show, however as the show continues, we will see more celebs enter the camp. Although the other celebs are yet to be confirmed, rumours are rife...
Check out all of the rumoured celebs for I'm A Celeb All Stars below:
Joe Swash
Former soap star Joe Swash is no stranger to I'm A Celeb! As well as winning series 8 in 2008, Joe went on to host the spin-off show for a number of years.
Dean Gaffney
EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney has one of the most memorable eating trials in the show's history thanks to his hilarious reactions in 2006.
Gillian McKeith
Who could forget Gillian McKeith? The nutritionist and TV presenter appeared on series 10 in 2010, finishing in 8th place. Gillian is probably most remembered for THAT faint during a trial.
After being rumoured to join the All Stars series she appeared in the first episode.
Andy Whyment
Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment, who plays the famous Kirk Sutherland on the soap, delighted fans when he appeared on the 2019 series. After being rumoured to join the All Stars series he appeared in the second episode.
Sharing a video on social media in September 2022 to announce the show, Ant and Dec wrote: 'South Africaaaaaaa! That's right, we're filming a very special version of I'm A Celebrity in South Africa which is coming to your tellies in 2023. 🤩 #ImACeleb' (sic)
Speaking in the video, the boys said: "We’ve got news! 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!
"We’re here, it’s going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years."
Appearing on an episode of Lorraine in January this year, Ant and Dec then revealed even more details, with Dec calling the series 'really, really good'.
Dec said: "It’s kind of an all-stars… Taking some of your favourite campmates from the last 20 years and taking them for a brand new challenge in South Africa.
“So it's a completely different landscape and they're doing it again. They're competing to become the first ever I'm A Celebrity ‘Legend of the Savanna’... It’s very special.”
Revealing the differences to the live Australian series, Ant added: “And it's slightly different to the show we do in Australia because they go head to head in trials and whoever loses leaves. It’s quite brutal, so that’s how we decided the winner.”
Dec then claimed: “We’ve done it, we’ve shot it and it’s really, really good.”
I'm A Celeb: South Africa began on Monday 24th April on ITV and STV and continues every night at 9pm.
