The countdown is officially on as the full line-up for I’m A Celebrity All Stars series two has been uncovered with some major names onboard.
These well-known personalities are bracing themselves for a second stint in the jungle.
The full cast for the second series of I’m A Celebrity All Stars has been revealed, boasting big names.
Fans are set to see the likes of a soap opera legend, a controversial Strictly star and a cherished Olympian.
Set in South Africa, hosts Ant and Dec have already joined the cast to kick off filming for the popular ITV show.
The duo have been sharing snippets of their time filming the programme on their social media over the past few weeks, including Dec celebrating his 50th birthday
Here’s a look at the celebrities who will be vying for the crown, and potentially shouting: “I’m a celebrity… get me out of here!”
Seann Walsh
The comedian made his first appearance on the show in 2022, finishing fifth and managing to win back public favour after causing a stir on Strictly Come Dancing by kissing his married dance partner, Katya Jones.
A telly insider shared: “When he went into the jungle in 2022 he very much did it in the hope of redeeming himself in the eyes of the viewing public. Which was no mean feat given he’d been branded an aggressive gaslighter as a result of his fling with Katya and his treatment of his girlfriend.”
“Yet he managed to emerge as one of the more popular campmates and actually finished in a respectable fifth place in the contest.”
David Haye
The 44-year-old former world champion boxer is set to join the jungle crew, according to The Mirror.
A source commented: “David was delighted to get the call from ITV. As viewers know, no chats are off-limits around the campfire, so they can expect to see David grilled over his quirky relationships.”
During his debut series, David secured third place, trailing behind Ashley Roberts and EastEnders’ Charlie Brooks.
Gemma Collins
The legendary GC is making her jungle comeback following her dramatic exit from her first series after merely three days.
The Towie star, 44, insisted she had contracted malaria and suffered a panic attack before being airlifted from the camp.
Years following her departure from the programme, Gemma revealed her desire for a second attempt. “Everything would be different a second time.
“I’d be like Lara Croft and Angelina Jolie rolled into one, and I’d do the tasks. I’m not scared of nothing. Hopefully one day the producers may give me another chance.”
Harry Redknapp
The 2018 King of the Jungle is making his return. He’s anticipated to begin the programme as one of the front-runners owing to his tremendous popularity.
One insider said: “Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants.”
During his initial stint, Harry picked up street slang from Fleur East and Malique Thompson-Dwyer, had his leg rubbed by Noel Edmonds and was assigned toilet duties when it emerged he had no sense of smell.
Scarlett Moffatt
Harry isn’t the sole champion making a comeback – 2016’s Queen Scarlett Moffatt will also be returning.
Speaking about her return, Scarlett admitted: “I’m not sure about smashing the trials, but I’d give them my best shot.
“But as I’ve gotten older my fear levels have gone up. I can’t even get on rollercoasters now.”
Adam Thomas
Emmerdale’s Adam, who was runner-up to Scarlett in the previous series and earned the title of Mr Bushtucker Trial for tackling the most challenges, is set to make a triumphant return.
An insider said: “This will be a glorious return for Adam as he established himself as a true fan favourite through his series in camp and then on the spin-off show.”
Sir Mo Farah
The much-loved Olympian Mo, who finished fifth last time, has chosen All Stars over Strictly.
A source shared: “Mo is very competitive so is definitely out to win this time round.
“He’s excited to experience a different side of I’m A Celeb as obviously the castle series were dramatically different to Oz. The sunny camps bring with them new problems, but he’s feeling excited for the challenge.”
Ashley Roberts
Ashley, who came second thirteen years ago, had some memorable moments under the outback waterfall, according to an insider.
They added: “Stripping back down to her swimwear on TV again netted Myleene some very lucrative deals after the show, and it’s sure to do the same for Ashley.”
Sinitta
Pop sensation Sinitta, one of the older contestants at 61, is heading into the jungle.
Fans are eagerly anticipating more of her campsite tales about her best mate Simon Cowell.
Craig Charles
Corrie icon and Radio 2 DJ Craig, who last appeared on the show in 2014, had to exit due to a family tragedy when his brother suffered a fatal heart attack.
An insider commented: “He was robbed of the experience by the family tragedy, although his campmates and the production team all understood why he wanted to leave and head home to be with his loved ones.”
Jimmy Bullard
Soccer AM presenter Jimmy was the first to be voted off in his previous stint and is aiming to last longer this time around.
An insider shared: “Jimmy had a brilliant time in the original series he took part in and it really opened the door to his broadcasting career.
“He was voted off first last time and he felt he had a lot more to give. Now he’s got the chance to get stuck in again, although he’s a bit older so he is worried he might find it harder to rough it.
“His banter is still on form though. Producers are hopeful he’ll have a bromance with Harry Redknapp.”
Beverley Callard
Corrie actress Beverly, known for her role as Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald, is set to return to the jungle.
An insider stated: “Beverley’s first taste of I’m A Celebrity was in a cold, wet castle in Wales and it was a tough experience – although she loved making so many new friends.”
I’m A Celebrity All Stars is set to return to ITV next year.
