Six new stars 'set to join' I'm A Celeb's already announced line up in jungle

With I'm A Celeb's All Stars series just days away, six new names are reported to be heading to South Africa to join in the fun.

If you can call eating bugs and getting covered in all sorts of sh*te fun, that is.

The special version of the series is set to kick off on Monday (24 April), when a whole host of campmates from previous years will gather for an epic showdown to become the first ever I'm A Celebrity legend.

The first nine stars appearing on the show were confirmed last month, when Ant and Dec made the revelation during an episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.

Up first we have former boxer Amir Khan; Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan; Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell and Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder.

Rounding out the initial lineup is Phil Tufnell, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman, Fatima Whitbread and Janice Dickinson.

The Geordie hosts assured the upcoming show was 'bigger and wilder' than they could have hoped for, and the latest slate of names reported to be joining the show only confirms that.

Swapping good food, showers and comfy beds for creepy crawlies and hammocks, the six new celebs expected to return to the show begin with Myleene Klass, who first trekked into the jungle in 2006.

After going viral - or as viral as was possible in 2006 - for her appearance in a white bikini on the show, Klass spoke on ITV’s Lorraine about the possibility of returning. Klass commented: "I don’t know. I might have to tuck [my boobs] in my socks, I’ve breastfed three babies since then.

"It feels like a lifetime ago, and only yesterday, it’s that weird dichotomy. It was a really good time in my life."

Other stars reported by The Sun include actors Joe Swash, Dean Gaffney, Andy Whyment, and Made In Chelsea star, Georgia Toffolo.

And of course, we can't forget one of the most memorable former I'm A Celeb contestants, Gillian McKeith, who famously fainted on the show when faced with a bushtucker trial.

We'll have to wait and see whether McKeith returns to the show and makes it through any of the challenges in South Africa, though those involved will already know all the details as the series is already complete after being recorded last summer in Kruger National Park.

When contacted by LADbible, ITV commented: "We have announced our starting nine camp mates and any other names are currently speculation."

I'm A Celebrity All Stars will kick off at 9pm on Monday 24 April on ITV1 and ITVX.
