Boy George
According to The Mirror, Boy George, 61, is said to have secured the highest pay cheque in the show's history – with ITV bosses reportedly excited to have signed the star. Bosses reportedly also have "no doubt" Boy George will "draw in viewers" as he's a global superstar.
Mike Tindall
Mike Tindall will also mark the first Royal to take part in the show when he enters. The former rugby star is married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara Tindall, and show producers may be hoping he will share some anecdotes from his time with the Royal Family.
Jill Scott
Fresh from winning the Euros earlier this year with England, Lioness Jill Scott was asked what would be more nerve wracking, the Euros final or the jungle and she said: "That is a very good question but I don't think anything will test my nerves as much as that final. I have never really been confronted by snakes and spiders in England so I don't know how I will react to them, apart from a spider in the bath every now and then."
Owen Warner
Elsewhere in the cast is Hollyoaks star Owen Warner, who told The Sun that he will miss his mum the most during his time in Australia. He said: “I will give her a little one of these [makes a half heart with his hand] it is half a love heart and she does the other half,” showing the poignant gesture.
Babatúndé Aléshé
Celebrity Gogglebox's Babatunde cut a cool figure as he arrived at Brisbane Airport, Australia.
Aside from sitting on the sofa with friend Mo Gilligan, the comedian has previously appeared on Romesh Ranganathan’s reboot of The Weakest Link, (BBC), Guessable (Comedy Central), The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2), Jonathan Ross Stand Up Club (ITV1), Don’t Hate the Playaz (ITV2) and Stand Up to Cancer (Channel 4).
Charlene White
Next up to jet across the other side of the world is Loose Women's Charlene White, who joins a whole host of other newsreaders who have taken part in I'm A Celebrity.
In early October, an ITV source told The Sun : “Charlene is a great signing for the show. She’s got some strong opinions, but is really personable and will be good value around the Aussie campfire. They hope her journalistic background means she will eke out some illuminating conversations from her campmates, which shouldn’t be hard given some of the people she’ll be sleeping in a bunk next to."
Sue Cleaver
Swapping the cobbles for the jungle is Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw in the popular ITV soap opera. Sue has appeared on Corrie since 2000 and has been involved in some of the show's best storylines.
Prior to jetting off to Australia, Sue shared with her social media followers that she had become a grandmother for the fourth time.
Chris Moyles
Radio presenter Chris Moyles was one of the first people spotted arriving in Australia. The presenter has previously gone on record to say that he has a phobia of heights and will have to have his wits about him in the future.
Chris is perhaps best known for working at the BBC between 2004 and 2012, before sensationally quitting and moving to Radio X in 2015 - a role he still holds to this day.
Olivia Attwood
Love Island's Olivia Attwood is set to make history in that she is the first contestant from the ITV2 dating show to head to the Jungle. Speaking to The Sun ahead of her appearance, she said: "I mean look if I can get in that Jungle I will probably get in the shower let's just say that."
In recent years, TV personality has branched out into presenting roles and earlier this year, hosted her own series called Getting Filthy Rich, which explored the online selling of sexual content on OnlyFans.
