Here’s The (Rumoured) I’m A Celeb 2024 Lineup
It's almost time to return to the jungle...
It’s coming up to that time of year again when a dozen celebrities are sent into the depths of the Australian jungle to suffer for three weeks all for our entertainment.
That’s right, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here is returning to our screens on the 17th of November and the rumoured line up is making us even more excited.
Here are the celebs that are rumoured to be entering the jungle.
Alan Halsall

Known for his role as Tyrone Dobbs in Coronation Street, Alan Halsall is already tipped as a fan favourite.
It is rumoured that the Corrie star was supposed to be part of the lineup for last year’s I’m A Celeb, however he had to pull out due a serious leg injury which resulted in an ACL reconstruction surgery.
As one of Coronation Street’s most beloved characters, there is no doubt that Halsall will not be short of fans.
Barry McGuigan

Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan has been rumoured as the replacement for Scottish soccer star Ally McCoist who pulled out of the show weeks before its launch.
Back in 2017 McGuigan mocked boxer Amir Khan for failing to complete a Bushtucker Trial, labelling him “embarrassing”, so it seems he has decided to put his money where his mouth is and enter the jungle himself.
Coleen Rooney

WAG Coleen Rooney is a stand out addition to the rumoured contestants of the show this year.
Best known for being the wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney and her infamous ‘Wagtha Christie’ dispute and trial with Rebekah Vardy (who also appeared on I’m a Celeb back in 2017), viewers are anticipating Rooney to give some insight (and lets be honest, a little bit of drama) into her feud with Vardy, as well as her home life.
Danny Jones

McFly’s lead vocalist Danny Jones reportedly is the replacement of Tommy Fury who apparently pulled out of the show following his split from Molly-Mae Hague.
Jones would be the second member of the band to enter the jungle. Bandmate Dougie Poynter won the show back in 2011 and currently has the best odds of being crowned King of the Jungle.
Dean McCullough

BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough is sure to bring his banter and outspokenness into the jungle. The Northern Irish presenter will be one we will have to keep our eyes on.
GK Barry

Back in August, internet personality and podcaster GK Barry had joined Loose Women as a panellist so it is no shock that ITV want more of her.
With over 3.6 million followers on TikTok alone, Barry is sure to bring along some new viewers to the show and based off of her personality, she is sure to be great for conversations around the campfire.
Jane Moore

Loose Women star Jane Moore is also ready for “the challenge of I’m A Celeb,” an insider TV source revealed.
Following the footsteps of her fellow panellists Stacey Solomon, Charlene White and Olivia Attwood who have all ventured into the jungle, it’s nearly a rite of passage now.
Maura Higgins

Inspired by Tommy Fury’s supposed exit, the I’m A Celeb bosses decided to consider other Love Island stars to join the show, and they may have hit the TV gold with Maura Higgins.
Higgins was first on our television screens back in 2019 as a contestant on Love Island.
The Irish reality TV star is known for being outspoken and standing her ground when it comes to conflict. However, she is also quite humorous and would definitely be enjoyable to watch.
Melvin Odoom

Another BBC Radio 1 DJ is set to enter the jungle.
Radio DJ Melvin Odoom had apparently been tipped for the show back in 2021 but declined. At the time Melvin had said: “I think it’s an amazing show to watch. I think it’s so entertaining, but I don’t think I could hack being in the jungle. I’d be too, too scared.”
But it seems he has changed his mind.
Oti Mabuse

An ITV insider claimed that Mabuse is “guaranteed to be great fun” in the jungle.

Coles is reportedly entering the jungle and has promised that he has some “wild” stories to tell, including “spilling the beans” on the BBC, who he has been very outspoken about in the past.

N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos is reportedly making her TV comeback after a long health battle.
ITV have apparently wanted her on the show for years however Tulisa “never wanted to consider it”.
With a decade since she judged on The X Factor and finishing the N-Dubz reunion tour, she feels it’s the right time to return to our television screens.
