It's been a staple of British TV since the first series way back in 2002, so fans will be pleased to know that popular entertainment show I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is returning in the coming weeks!
The show, hosted by Geordie duo Ant and Dec, will air on ITV/STV as a whole host of brave celebrities enter the now famous Australian jungle, in an attempt to become the next King or Queen of the Jungle.
When does I'm A Celeb start?
Bosses have now confirmed the 2023 series will begin on Sunday 19th November, with a 105 minute episode!
Ant and Dec confirmed the news in a video, with the caption saying: 'Not quite live from the jungle yet 🤣 But they will be very soon! I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Starts Sunday 19th November at 9pm on ITV1 and @itvxofficial 🌴🥾'. (sic)
Which celebs are on I'm A Celeb this year?
Nothing has been confirmed which celebrities will be entering the jungle this year, but as always, there's plenty of rumours!
Check out all of the rumoured celebs below:
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now and it's understood he was due to appear in 2023, before picking up a nasty ACL injury which resulted in him needing major surgery. It's now being reported that bosses are keen to sign Alan for the 2024 show.
Olivia Attwood
As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
However, after Olivia didn't appear in the 2023 series, could she feature on the 2024 line-up?
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his presenting role on This Morning in 2023, rumours were rife that Phillip Schofield could take part in the 2023 series. As fans will know, Phillip wasn't on the line-up, but with reports suggesting he's about to make a comeback to TV, could I'm A Celeb be the platform he needs to re-launch his career?
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford has recently expressed interest in appearing on I'm A Celeb. He told the Mirror: "Out of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle."
Alex recently appeared on BBC One's Celebrity Race Across The World.
Danny Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.
Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years.
Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so will 2024 be her year?
Sam Aston
Coronation Street legend Sam Aston hinted he'd love to take part in the show in 2021.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, he said: "I've always said no to all of those shows, but then recently for some reason I've been more open to the idea. Jennie McAlpine and Andy Whyment did the jungle and both of them said it's the experience of a lifetime.
"If I was offered it I would be open to the idea and open to the extra pennies!"
The Vivienne
RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne recently admitted she would love to appear on I'm A Celeb during a chat with Lorraine.
She said: "Do you know what, I've never thought about it but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be."
Phil Taylor
Ever since he admitted he'd 'love' to appear on the show a number of years ago, darts legend Phil Taylor has been heavily rumoured every year. As he's not yet entered the jungle, could 2024 be his year?
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, it seems actor Will Mellor has the reality TV bug, as he's admitted to his friend and former co-star Ralf Little he'd fancy appearing on I'm A Celeb. Could 2024 be his year?
Richard Arnold
Good Morning Britain's entertainment presenter Richard Arnold is usually the one travelling over to Australia to report on the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be taking part this year!
Following a two year stint in Wales, I'm A Celeb returned to Australia for last year's series, with celebs such as Owen Warner, Matt Hancock, Boy George, Mike Tindall MBE, and Sue Cleaver all taking part.
After three amazing weeks, the series ended on Sunday 27th November, with former Lioness Jill Scott MBE being crowned the winner with a huge 57.66% of the final vote.
In a show first, I'm A Celeb aired an additional series between April and May this year, called I'm A Celeb: South Africa. Although the show wasn't live, it featured some of the most iconic contestants from the last 22 years, with Myleene Klass being crowned the first ever I'm A Celeb Legend.
I'm A Celeb will begin on ITV and STV on Sunday 19th November.
