The full roster for I’m A Celebrity All Stars series two has been revealed, featuring high-profile names including a soap opera icon, a controversial Strictly star and a cherished Olympian.
Set in South Africa, hosts Ant and Dec have already joined the cast to commence filming the popular ITV show.
Here’s a look at the celebrities vying for the title of king or queen, and who might be shouting: “I’m a celebrity… get me out of here!”
Seann Walsh

The comedian, who participated in the show in 2022, not only secured fifth place but also managed to regain public favour following a scandal on Strictly Come Dancing where he was caught kissing his married dance partner, Katya Jones, reports the Mirror.
A television 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.”

The 44-year-old former world champion boxer is set to enter the jungle. An insider revealed: “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 finished in 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 initial stint after merely three days. The TOWIE star, 44, said she had contracted malaria and suffered a panic attack before being airlifted from 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 makes his return. He’s anticipated to begin the programme amongst the frontrunners owing to his tremendous appeal.
One insider revealed: “Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants.”
During his initial appearance, Harry picked up slang language from Fleur East and Malique Thompson-Dwyer, received leg treatments from Noel Edmonds and was assigned toilet duties when his lack of smell was discovered.
Scarlett Moffatt

Harry isn’t the sole champion making a comeback – 2016’s Queen Scarlett Moffatt will also return.
Discussing 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 actor Adam, who previously finished behind Scarlett and earned the title of Mr Bushtucker Trial for undertaking the most challenges, is set to make a triumphant return.
An insider commented: “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.”

Beloved Olympian Sir Mo Farah, who came fifth in his previous stint, has chosen All Stars over Strictly!
A source revealed: “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 Roberts, who was a runner-up thirteen years ago, is also returning. An insider shared: “Ashley had some iconic moments soaping up in the outback waterfall.”
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
61-year-old Sinitta is ready for round two
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 best friend Simon Cowell.
Craig Charles
Craig’s first stint in the jungle was cut short
Coronation Street legend and Radio 2 DJ Craig, who last appeared on the show in 2014, had to leave due to a family tragedy when his brother suffered a fatal heart attack.
An insider revealed: “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 host Jimmy Bullard, who was voted off first in his previous stint, is hoping for a longer survival 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.”
Beverly Callard

Coronation Street star Beverly Callard, known for her role as Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald, is heading back to the jungle. An insider said: “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.”
