Winter is coming, and that can only mean one thing… I’m A Celebrity is soon to be back on our screens.
I for one can’t wait to be snuggled up on the sofa with a bucket of popcorn watching celebrities try their hand at a slew of bug-related challenges - but before that can happen, we need to whittle down the guestlist for the ITV series.
As per an insider source for The Sun, a group of 15 celebrities - the most to ever take part in the show - have been said to have already wrapped up filming for the reality competition, which is scheduled to air next year.

The infamous presenting duo Ant McPartlin, 46, and Declan Donnelly, 47, recently announced they were filming the series in South Africa - another first for the show.
The source told the publication: "It's a different format to Australia, who knows when and where celebrities will enter the camp, literally anything could happen.
"It's the best of I'm A Celebrity, quite literally, but there are some twists and surprises along the way for viewers and campers so it's not going to be as straightforward as they might think."
Well, with all that aside - let’s get into who might be appearing on the show.

The first star reportedly up for indulging in some insect-style cuisine is Phil Tufnell, the former English international cricketer.
The 56-year-old media personality is predicted to return to the series following his win in 2003.
British boxer Amir Khan is next up to be reportedly heading back for another bushtucker trial, following his first time on the show just four years ago.
Fans of the show may remember how the 35-year-old caused a stir in the camp for wolfing down the strawberries and cream alongside Ian Wright which they won during a Dingo Dollar Challenge, and failed to share with their campmates.

Former servant of the British Royal Household, Paul Burrell, is thought to be switching his previous lavish lifestyle for a more simple life of rice and beans once again on the show.
Previously appearing in the 2004 series, ITV producers have been said to be ‘desperate’ for him to sign up again with the royal news this year has seen.
The lineup is also thought to be starring Gillian McKeith - the I’m A Celeb legend who famously fainted during a Bushtucker Trial in 2010.
Other celebrities predicted to be joining the lineup are Shaun Ryder, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman and Joe Swash.
