The I'm A Celebrity camp is set to welcome two newcomers and the pair appear to be absolutely bricking themselves.

They will be joining the likes of Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones, and Tulisa, who are already living it up in the Aussie jungle.

Former Love Islander Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles are the two late arrivals who will be joining the 10 other I'm A Celeb campmates tomorrow (21 November).

The TV personality, 33, becomes only the second person to appear from the ITV dating show, and she doesn't want to be known as the 'biggest wimp in the camp'.

"If spiders go over the top of my head, I might just die," Higgins recently told The Mirror.

"I'm not a nervous person at all. I don't get anxiety. But for this show, when I think about it, I'm like, 'Oh God'."

The influencer has just been an a boozy vacation in Las Vegas and says she's not prepared for jungle life.

"Honestly, I'm not good… I feel like I'm in The Hangover, I've even got the shakes," she laughed.

"I have no clue what time it is, I don't know where I am. In fact, I've done the opposite of preparing myself [for the jungle].

"I've tried not to think about it, because when I think about it, I get so much anxiety."

That being said, Higgins is very much looking forward to having no make-up or phone on her, adding: "I've not even got my brows done… I've not done anything. I cannot wait to just not have to get up and put makeup on and care about it, because it's not that type of show. Like, you're not really in there to look good, are you?

"I never care about my phone really.

"Like, even on Love Island, a lot of the Islanders were complaining about missing their phone. I was like, 'I'm loving not having my phone'."

Meanwhile, Reverend Coles - a writer, radio presenter and Church of England priest - said he's been consuming 5,000 calories a day on a cruise in preparation.

"I would like to say that I've been lowering my calorie intake to prepare for that, but that's not worked out so far. I've been trying not to look at nature programs about the horrors of Australia," the 62-year-old admitted.

"I don't think there are many precedents for this, although, vicars have been going into jungles for years and years and years as missionaries."

The writer is also worried about keeping his I'm A Celeb campmates up at night with his snoring.
