With a few months to go until its expected air date, speculation is rife about this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here line-up.
The likes of Phillip Schofield, Tommy Fury after the news of his split from Molly-Mae Hague, and Love Island’s Zara McDermott are already rumoured to be joining, and now a huge 00s star is said to be ‘in talks’.
Last year’s series of the ITV reality competition saw Sam Thompson, Fred Sirieix, Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage enter the Australian jungle.
Made in Chelsea star Sam, 31, emerged as the King of the Jungle, putting to bed the 23rd series of the show, which has been on air since December 2023.
With the next series airing in November 2024, this year’s batch of celebrities will be in talks with ITV, signing the dotted line, and packing their bags for the jungle.
Potential contestants include the usual range of reality TV stars, soap actors and politicians. Well, following July 4’s complete Tory wipeout, there’ll be a lot of out-of-work MPs looking to make a quick buck and save face.
Here’s Metro.co.uk’s run-down of potential I’m A Celebrity 2024 campmates.

N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos is reportedly launching her showbiz comeback on I’m A Celebrity.
The former X Factor judge, 36, has left ITV bosses extremely ‘excited’ about the potential signing.
‘Tulisa has been on ITV’s hit list for a while but until now she’s never wanted to consider it,’ a source told The Sun.
‘This year is a decade since she left The X Factor so she felt the time was right to return to the TV spotlight — the amazing reception to the N-Dubz reunion tour really helped build her confidence.’
They claimed that the ‘breadth’ of Tulisa’s career could mean that she’ll appeal to the ‘wide audience’ who tune in to watch the jungle competition.
‘As well as everyone knowing her from The X Factor, her original music fanbase has boomed thanks to the N-Dubz reunion tour,’ the insider went on.
‘TV bosses are particularly excited by the new wealth of fans in the crucial 16 to 24 age range who have discovered Tulisa and the band through TikTok and everyone hopes the deal is signed soon.’

According to the latest odds from Ladbrokes, Tommy is at odds of 4/1 to appear on the next series, with Alex Apati of Ladbrokes saying: ‘Reality TV chiefs will surely be queuing up to snap up Molly-Mae or Tommy following their shock split, and the odds suggest the latter could well be jungle bound later this year.’
