From Caitlyn Jenner to Nadine Coyle, The Official ‘I’m A Celebrity’ 2019 Line Up Is Finally Here
This will be interesting...
It’s that wonderful time of year again, when we are all united in our excitement to go home and watch a bunch of z listers munch on some lizard willy somewhere in the Australian jungle.
After weeks and weeks of rumours, the official line up has been announced and confirmed to the world and oh boy, it does not disappoint!
So without further ado, here is the full celeb line up:
Radio DJ and the Ridey Martin Kemp’s son, Roman Kemp, our Girls Aloud gal Nadine Coyle, comedian Andrew Maxwell, Eastenders actress Jacqueline Jossa, Rak-Su star Myles Stephenson, Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, football pundit Ian Wright, journalist and tv presenter Kate Garraway, and rugby man James Haskell and reality tv star Caitlyn Jenner.
Of course, there will be a number of surprise arrivals throughout the series, but we have no news on them at the minute, though we’re hoping for some bad eggs who will really stir up any friendly dynamic muaha.
While all the celebs arriving Down Under is making for very exciting content, it is the arrival of Caitlyn Jenner which has the world talking.
The 70 year old may just be well well prepared for her jungle stint, as she appeared on the US version of the show back in 2003, before she transitioned.
Speaking about the experience she is embarking on, she said:
“Being in the Jungle is certainly not easy, and yes, it is totally back to basics but I thought this would be a great opportunity to leave everything behind for three weeks. Last time, it was almost like a cleansing of the soul.”
Well, some people like crystals to unwind, others a massage, but swimming with snakes trying to collect yellow stars is a first. But, when ‘cleansing the soul’ sings to the tune of a rumoured £500k, we can kind of see why a little detox might be on Caitlyn’s mind *suspicious eyes emoji*.
Meanwhile, Nadine Coyle has admitted that she is petrified of just about everything, and has also never slept outdoors – so this jungle thing sounds like a bit of her then.
“There is going to be so much new stuff to learn” she explains.
“I’ve never boiled water on a fire, chopped firewood, slept outside – I do hope I learn stuff about me and it’s the next phase”.
Nadine is of course referring to her newly singly status, having split up with her long-term partner earlier this year. She admits that she will miss her daughter Anaiya the most, and is hoping to take on the ‘house-wife’ role in the camp – we’re rooting for you Nadine!
The hotly anticipated series will begin this Sunday, the 17th of November on Virgin Media 1 at 9pm.
