I'm A Celebrity All Stars line-up: 15 former campmates to return from Carol Vorderman to Paul Burrell

The line-up of I'm A Celebrity All Stars is set to include 15 legends from previous shows.

Among the contestants reported to be taking part in the ITV spin-off in South Africa are Carol Vorderman, Amir Khan and Gillian McKeith. Geordie stars Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will be hosting the programme when it hits our screens next year.

The campmates will also include previous winners Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, ex-cricketer and A Question Of Sport captain Phil Tufnell and former EastEnders star Joe Swash. Other big names reported include Coronation Street's Helen Flanagan and singer/presenter Myleene Klass - both of whom sent temperatures soaring during their steamy shower scenes in the Australian jungle in their respective series.

Gillian who famously almost passed out whilst taking part in a Bushtucker Trial back in 2010 is also rumoured to be returning - as is her popular campmate, Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder. Soap stars Dean Gaffney, who shot to fame in his role as Robbie Fowler in EastEnders, and Coronation Street's loveable Andrew Whyment (Kirk Sutherland) will both be hoping to be crowned King in 2023, reports The Mirror.

Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell has also signed up. There will be a 2016 reunion in the form of Countdown star Carol and her co-star Jordan Banjo - of Britain's Got Talent winning group Diversity. And completing the line-up are British boxing hero Amir Khan, 2007 runner-up Janice Dickinson and Olympian Fatima Whitbread.

An show insider told the Sun: "It's a different format to Australia, who knows when and where celebrities will enter camp, literally anything could happen. It's not clear how many will start in camp or how many will be there by the end when one is crowned King or Queen of the jungle, possibly for a second time.

"It's the best of I'm A Celebrity, quite literally, but there's some twists and surprises along the way for viewers and campers so it's not going to be as straightforward as they might think."

The All Stars series of I'm A Celeb, which will take place in South Africa's Kruger National Park rather than Australia, is set to run in addition to the usual annual ITV programme in 2023. Ant and Dec took to Twitter on Thursday to confirm the new show would be going ahead as they shared a video on the platform.

"South Africaaaa! That's right, we're filming a very special version of I'm A Celebrity in South Africa, which is coming to your tellies in 2023," they revealed.

"We've got news," Dec added: "It's probably the worst kept secret in television, but we can confirm we're doing a very special series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa! We're here, it's going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time."

Ant and Dec were spotted in the airport arriving home from filming I'm A Celebrity All Stars on Tuesday, however, no other rumoured cast members have landed yet. Mirror Online has contacted ITV for comment.
