I'm A Celebrity's Ant and Dec 'confirm' All Stars late arrivals after 'missing' contestant mystery

Ant and Dec have appeared to let the cat out of the bag on there being not one, not two, but THREE late arrivals for the new series of I'm A Celebrity, in a telling new teaser for the All Stars special.

The Geordie presenters announced last year that the hit ITV show had made the switch to South Africa for production on a new run that would be bringing back famous faces from jungle past. The news was broken before they and last year's campmates headed to Australia, for the first I'm A Celebrity Down Under since 2019 and, after much speculation, the All Stars line-up was unveiled at the end of last month.

Nine stars including Paul Burrell, Shaun Ryder, Helen Flanagan and Carol Vorderman were revealed to be taking part, with fans left scratching their head over one notable absentee - former King of the Jungle Joe Swash. The fact he had been filming All Stars was let slip in very public fashion by Loose Women star Linda Robson, when Joe appeared on the show last year, so viewers were surprised to see him missing from the line-up.

However, ity now looks like the former EastEnders actor was one of three late arrivals during filming as, in a new teaser for the upcoming All Stars series, Ant and Dec are seen looking at a chart of the contestants taking part, which features three squares with question marks on.

Other famous faces linked to All Stars when filming took place last year included Gillian McKeith, ex Queen of the Jungle Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, Myleene Klass , Dean Gaffney and Andrew Whyment.

The new teaser for All Stars comes after Carol Vorderman also hinted at there being more than the original nine celebs taking part. During an appearance on Lorraine she told presenter Lorraine Kelly "Well that was the first nine."
