ITV I'm a Celebrity 2022 stars Corrie's Sue Cleaver and Love Island's Olivia Attwood land in Australia

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here contestants Sue Cleaver and Olivia Attwood have been pictured arriving in Australia. The Coronation Street icon and Love Island star were spotted touching down at Brisbane Airport this morning (Oct 26) ahead of the launch of the new series next month.

Just hours after radio DJ Chris Moyles landed in Oz, Olivia Attwood was snapped emerging from the airport. Donning a black crop top, trainers and baggy black trousers. The 31-year-old reportedly explained how she has always wanted to take part in the hit ITV show.

According to the Mirror, she said: "I am scared of me, in terms of how long the other campmates can tolerate me. I will get myself in trouble somehow, the usual. I haven't packed very many bikinis, we are not allowed very many.

"My friends and family have always wanted me to do this show so let's see how it goes. I love Ant and Dec, I have grown up watching them. They are British TV Icons."

She then revealed what she will miss the most: "It is day one at the minute so I'm not missing much. But in three or four days the dogs and my fiance probably.”

Shortly after Olivia Attwood's arrival came Sue Cleaver's. The 59-year-old soap star was pictures wearing a leopard print top and matching leopard print cap, with black trousers and a jacket and white trainers.

Sue Cleaver, who has played Eileen Grimshaw since 2000 in Corrie, said: "I love visiting Australia," before getting into a waiting car and declining to answer further questions about the show," the Mirror reports.

The pair's arrival Down Under comes after Radio and TV presenter Chris Moyles was confirmed as the first celeb to star in this year's line-up of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here. The former Radio 1 DJ was snapped also landing at Brisbane airport, reportedly saying "it should be nice [in the jungle]."

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here fans will be pleased to know that this year's series will be returning to our screens in just a matter of days as its start date has been revealed - November 6, meaning celebs are much earlier to arrive than normal.

The 2022 season will be heading back to Australia, its native filming location, after spending the last couple of years in Wales following coronavirus travel restrictions.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Starts on ITV on November 6.
