With just days to go until the new season of I’m A Celebrity gets underway, it looks like we now have a clearer idea of the 12 stars who’ll be entering the jungle this time around.

However, it also reported that the line-up will include model-turned-TV-personality Leomie Anderson, former Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney and comedian Leigh Francis, best known as the man behind Keith Lemon and Bo Selecta.
The full rumoured line-up is as follows:

An ITV spokesperson told the newspaper: “Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity are just speculation.”
HuffPost UK has also contacted ITV for comment.
Just over a year ago, TikTok personality AngryGinge was crowned the most recent King Of The Jungle.
Since then, I’m A Celebrity has also aired its second All Stars series, filmed in South Africa, which saw soap actor Adam Thomas being chosen as the public’s winner at the end of an especially tumultuous season.
