The full list of celebrities has been confirmed – but who else was rumoured to join the show?
Published:
Rosie Marcel
Holby City actress Rosie Marcel – who plays Jac Naylor in the BBC drama – was recently asked whether she would want to appear on I’m a Celebrity.
“I’ve had a couple of meetings. I have spoken to them, it is something I would love to do actually,” she said. “I think for me it would be an amazing challenge.”

Conor McGregor
Irish UFC fighter has entered the ring as a potential contestant for this year’s I’m A Celebrity, according to OK! magazine.
The 30-year-old is currently facing a suspension from the sport following a post-fight brawl, giving him the perfect window to head out to the jungle for the winter. And bookmakers Coral are already tipping him to go far in the competition…
Sandra Martin
Gogglebox star Sandra Martin has thrown herself into the rumour mill with an emoji-filled tweet that was swiftly deleted, according to Metro.
When a fan praised her appearance on Celebrity First Dates with the words “queen bee will eat those frogs alive,” Martin wrote in response: “AM A CELEBRITY GET ME out of here” – along with the whole spectrum of animal emojis, from crabs to ducks to octopuses.
An innocuous tweet? Or is she on her way to becoming Queen of the Jungle?
Aaron Chalmers
Former Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers told The Sun that he would “love to do the jungle”.
However, there is just one problem “I’m petrified of spiders,” he said. “There was one in the house the other day and I just ran away.”
Sounds like a perfect booking to us!
Brendan Cole
After it was revealed that Brendan Cole would not be appearing in Strictly Come Dancing this year, he was rumoured for an I’m a Celebrity appearance.
However, from looking at the live tour dates on Brendan’s website, he seems to be pretty busy in late November which is traditionally when the show kicks off Down Under.
Catherine Tyldesley
After leaving Corrie, Catherine Tyldesley was rumoured for Strictly Come Dancing. However, she denied the whispers and instead she’s now been tipped to head into the jungle.
Well, that is according to bookmaker Coral who said: “Rumours over her next career move went into overdrive after she spoke about her relatives in Australia and her desire to spend some time there, and we think it’s all building up to a perfect match with a stint in the jungle.”
