FIRST LOOK I'm A Celeb 2024

It's time to meet this year's campmates entering the I'm A Celeb jungle!


The countdown to Christmas is officially here as I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns for its 24th series as a brand new cast of celebrities will battle it out in TV’s toughest entertainment challenge.


Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night as our new line-up of celebrities for 2024 will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind and spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.


And the guessing game as to who is going in is finally over as ITV has announced this year's group of celebs, and it's a VERY good line-up!


They'll each find themselves cut off from the outside world and stuck on a diet of rice and beans with their fate will lying in the hands of viewers who have the power to decide if they deserve to face a dreaded Bushtucker Trial.


Last year’s highlights included Sam Thompson’s budding bromance with Tony Bellew, Frankie Dettori and Tony’s late arrival in the jungle Scarena, and Josie Gibson and Marvin Humes taking part in the hilarious Power Shower challenge. But who will be crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle?


It's time to meet this year's campmates...



 

Alan Halsall

Corrie Star

 

Any phobias?


I’m not scared of anything at home but if you were tonput ten snakes on my head, I don’t know how I would feel about that as clearly I’ve never been in that situation before!


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


It will be nice for people to get to know a bit more about me rather than my character, Tyrone.


Role in camp?


Joker. For such a small person, I have got a big personality and I can be quite jokey! I am hoping people will share my sense of humour.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


Golf, being in Corrie and how Manchester United are doing.


Best & worst attributes?


My sense of humour and I hope to have a laugh in camp. Worst? Sleeping is going to be interesting. I have problems sleeping and it has to be pitch black and deadly quiet – now that is not going to happen!


Dream camper?


Tiger Woods. I am golf obsessed and for me, he is the greatest. I’d love to pick his brains about how to be a better golfer.

 

Barry McGuigan

Former Boxing Champion

 

Any phobias?


I don’t exactly enjoy hanging out with rats and snakes and spiders… but I don’t have a phobia of any of them.


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


I think most people know me as a good fighter, a decent person, garrulous at times - in a jovial way, I’d like to think. I’m a decent guy.


Role in camp?


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp: I’m not a ferocious eater, but I do like my sweet food and I do like sweet drinks. That’s going to be something I’m going to have to tolerate.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


Golf, being in Corrie and how Manchester United are doing.


Best & worst attributes?


I’m determined. But maybe as I’m getting older I’m getting more irritable. It’s just a natural thing, an age thing. I’m more irritable than I was 30 / 40 years ago, put it that way.


Dream camper?


My wife! She knows me and we would bump along very well. She’s an amazing girl. If you’re going to encounter problems and issues, she is phenomenal. We’re 43 years married and I’m still madly in love with her.


 

Coleen Rooney

TV Personality

 

Any phobias?


I don’t think I have got any phobias. Then again, I could say, ‘Oh I’m not scared of heights and then get up on a high building and the panic sets in!


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


I have been in the public eye for over 20 years now and people take what they want from it. I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am.


Role in camp?


I’m a mum, but I’d like to think my role will be a team player. I am organised so maybe that will be part of my role too.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


Aside from my family and friends, my phone and a pen and notepad. I love jotting things down.


Best & worst attributes?


I am quite a focused person and so I hope I will be someone who says, ‘Come on, let’s battle through this’. My worst? I didn’t think I snored, but Wayne says I snore – not continuously though – just every now and again!


Dream camper?


Adele. I’ve never met her. She is down-to-earth, she has a good voice, and she can sing us a song every now and again.

 

Danny Jones

McFly Star

 

Any phobias?


I’ve tried to forget all of my phobias. I’ve never been put in a situation like this before. I’m hoping that I don’t come home with new phobias…


Role in camp?


I’m just going to bring some laughter hopefully. That’s what I would like. My grandad says, ‘A day’s worthwhile, when you make someone smile.’ I’ve taken that on and gone, ‘Well, I want to make people laugh.’


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


I’ll miss my own bed. I love my bed. And food. I love burgers. I only go to the gym so I can eat burgers and drink beer.


Best & worst attributes?


I can kind of cook. So I’ll bring a bit of that. Apart from that I’ll just be the silly billy in the corner having a good time.


Dream camper?


It’d be Dougie! He’s the King of the Jungle. He should actually open up a zoo. He’s got lizards and all sorts of stuff at his house. He loves it. He loves animals and nature.


 

Dean McCullough

Radio 1 DJ

 

Any phobias?


I am terrified of everything – snakes, green flies, being suspended off a cliff – it’s all torturous. Don’t tell Ant & Dec but I don’t like being confined in tight spaces either!


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


Nothing, but I haven’t drunk for four years and I am very happy to fly the flag for young people who don’t drink. I am happy to show how I do still go raving.


Role in camp?


A friendly shoulder to cry on and bringing some positive vibes to proceedings. I’m also happy to be the camp cleaner every day.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


Music. Playing music is what I love to do and I get so much pleasure out of it.


Best & worst attributes?


I’d like to think I will bring lots of good vibes. Worst? I am known to wake up in the middle of the night.

 

GK Barry

Podcaster & Content Creator

 

Any phobias?


I am terrified of everything!


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


I think people assume I am always full on but I’m actually a calm person.


Role in camp?


Not the chef! I think I will be someone who will try to cheer people up if they are missing home and bring a few one liners.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


My cat and what is going on in the world – so much happens every week, but we will be none the wiser and just surrounded by trees.


Best & worst attributes?


Making light of a negative situation. I am a good person if you are upset. My worst? I snore and to be honest, I can be lazy at times. But yes, I do know I am going to have to do some chores!


Dream camper?


Paris Hilton or Joanna Lumley. If they were in camp, that would be my ideal.


 

Jane Moore

Loose Woman & Journalist

 

Any phobias?


I’m not sure how I will feel when faced with Australian creepy crawlies, as they are so much bigger and I’m not fond of cold water either – so any of the water Trials I would not really want to do.


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


Journalists as a whole can sometimes be misunderstood and so I am hoping to have a good conversation about that.


Role in camp?


Shoulder to cry on – especially with younger campmates. If someone is struggling, I will be the person who will try and help them out.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


Food. This is going to be a big one for me as I am a three meal a day person and I don’t snack, so it will be tricky.


Best & worst attributes?


I am very organised and so if anything needs organising, I’m your girl. I will also try to fill the long hours with lots of conversation. My worst? I get up at least twice in the night to go to the toilet, as I am a woman of a certain age. I will try to be quiet!


Dream camper?


Madonna, Adele and Victoria Beckham would all be great – anyone who knows their own mind and has something to say.

 

Melvin Odoom

TV Presenter & DJ

 

Any phobias?


I really hate insects and creepy crawlies.


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


I am not the person that people perceive me to be and this will be a chance for everyone to get to know the real me.


Role in camp?


I will be the person who is always there for everyone.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


Mint tea, slippers and music.


Best & worst attributes?


I’m a very positive guy in every situation. My worst? I snore loudly and I’ve been trying to train myself not to do it before I go into the camp.


Dream camper?


Bruno Mars or a comedian like Ricky Gervais.

 

Oti Mabuse

Dancer

 

Any phobias?


I am terrified of snakes.


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


The fun dancing mum! I love chatting to people and hearing their stories and I also hope I can teach everyone a few dance moves.


Role in camp?


Joker. For such a small person, I have got a big personality and I can be quite jokey! I am hoping people will share my sense of humour.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


My make-up.


Best & worst attributes?


I think I have a good listening ear. My worst? I can be quite loud – but unintentionally. And if I get bored, I am even more energetic.


Dream camper?


I love actresses, so someone like Kerry Washington or Viola Davis. We can listen to each other and laugh.

 

Tulisa Contostavlos

N-Dubz Singer

 

Any phobias?


I am not going to give too much away by telling people what to vote for, but I will be scared of a lot of stuff!


Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?


I am not the person that people perceive me to be and this will be a chance for everyone to get to know the real me.


Role in camp?


Goofball and Mother Hen. I am normally the mummy in N-Dubz.


Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?


Music. I am always listening to music and I’ve always got it on. The silence is going to drive me crazy.


Best & worst attributes?


I am a good communicator and I’m aware of other people’s emotions. Worst? My eating habits. I am really OCD with my food so if something comes on a bone, I have to pick it all off first before I eat it. They will be waiting for me to finish so whoever wants to do the dishes, I will still be sitting there two hours later with the same little bowl!


Dream camper?


I really love Egyptian history and there is a famous historian called Coach Billy Carson. I would never be bored if he joined the camp.


I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returns Sunday 17th November at 9pm on ITV1
