Last updated 26th Oct 2022
With November fast approaching, fans are gearing up for the brand new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, as the popular ITV show returns to Australia with hosts Ant and Dec.
After ITV bosses dropped the first trailer earlier this month, rumours are now rife as to which celebrities will be heading over to the jungle to appear in the 2022 series.
When does I'm A Celeb start?
ITV have now confirmed the 2022 series of I'm A Celeb will begin on Sunday 6th November at 9pm.
Sharing the news on social media on Wednesday 26th October, the post read: 'Mark your calendars… the countdown is on! 🇦🇺🙌 #ImACeleb'. (sic)
Although this date is slightly earlier than past series, it's understood bosses have made the decision to move the show forward due to the Winter World Cup in Qatar, which begins on Sunday 20th November.
Although ITV are yet to unveil the cast for the upcoming series, as always, rumours are rife as to which famous faces have signed up.
As well as Love Island's Olivia Attwood, Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall is also rumoured, as well as Chris Moyles, Mike Tindall and former EastEnders actor Danny Dyer.
In recent days, reports suggest 61-year-old Boy George has also signed up, with a contract which will make him the highest-paid contestant in the show's history.
Check out all of the rumoured celebs for I'm A Celeb 2022:
Coleen Rooney
According to reports in October, Coleen Rooney has signed up for this year's series for a 'record breaking fee'. Coleen is a huge fan of the show, so bosses are reportedly buzzing that she's signed the dotted line.
Ally McCoist
Scottish football legend Ally McCoist is reportedly in 'advanced talks' with bosses to appear on the 2024 series. The pundit has turned down the show twice in the past, so could 2024 be his year?
Tom Daley
After winning his fifth Olympic medal during the Paris 2024 Olympics, diver Tom Daley announced his retirement from the sport after the games, and now bosses are reportedly keen to sign him up for I'm A Celeb!
Tulisa
According to reports, N-Dubz star Tulisa is 'in talks' with I'm A Celeb bosses in an attempt to kickstart her TV career back up.
Jeremy Clarkson
Following the last ever series of The Grand Tour, rumours are rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I'm A Celeb reportedly top of the list!
Tommy Fury
Following his shock split from Love Island fiancée Molly-Mae Hague in August, bookies were tipping Tommy Fury to sign up for the 2024 series! Ladbrokes said: "Reality TV chiefs will surely be queuing up to snap up Molly-Mae or Tommy following their shock split, and the odds suggest the latter could well be jungle-bound later this year."
However, just weeks before the start date, reports are rife that Tommy has pulled out of the show after getting a better offer for a rematch against KSI.
Maura Higgins
With the news that Tommy has now pulled out of the show, rumours are rife that his fellow Love Island star Maura Higgins will replace him!
Mick McCarthy
After departing his managerial position at Blackpool FC last year, Mick McCarthy is now being tipped to head into the jungle!
Reverend Richard Coles
He's no stranger to reality TV having appeared on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2017, but now it sounds like Reverend Richard Coles could be about to swap his dancing shoes for the jungle. According to reports, Richard has signed up for this year's series.
Giovanni Pernice
Following his removal from Strictly Come Dancing, ITV/STV bosses are reportedly keen to sign up Giovanni Pernice for the 2024 series, with Mail Online suggesting they are ready to splash out £100,000 to sign him.

Jane Moore
According to reports by Mail Online, I'm A Celeb bosses have signed Loose Women star Jane Moore, following her split from her husband of 20 years, Gary Farrow. According to the reports, Jane would like to join the show to conquer new tasks.
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now and it's understood he was due to appear in 2023, before picking up a nasty ACL injury which resulted in him needing major surgery. It's now being reported that bosses are keen to sign Alan for the 2024 show.
Oti Mabuse
Having appeared on both Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice, professional dancer Oti Mabuse is no stranger to TV, and if reports are to be believed, she could be adding I'm A Celeb to her CV. Rumours are rife that Oti has signed up for the show, with bosses 'over the moon' to land her signature.
Olivia Attwood
As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
However, after Olivia didn't appear in the 2023 series, could she feature on the 2024 line-up?
Alex Beresford

Alex recently appeared on BBC One's Celebrity Race Across The World.
Danny Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.
Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years.
Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so will 2024 be her year?
The Vivienne
RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne recently admitted she would love to appear on I'm A Celeb during a chat with Lorraine.
She said: "Do you know what, I've never thought about it but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be."
Phil Taylor
Ever since he admitted he'd 'love' to appear on the show a number of years ago, darts legend Phil Taylor has been heavily rumoured every year. As he's not yet entered the jungle, could 2024 be his year?
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, it seems actor Will Mellor has the reality TV bug, as he's admitted to his friend and former co-star Ralf Little he'd fancy appearing on I'm A Celeb. Could 2024 be his year?
Richard Arnold
Good Morning Britain's entertainment presenter Richard Arnold is usually the one travelling over to Australia to report on the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be taking part this year!
Harry Clark
The Traitors series two winner Harry Clark is reportedly being lined-up for the 2024 series. At the beginning of July, Harry appeared on Lorraine where he confessed he'd love to take part! Will we see him in the jungle?
What we do know is that the show will return to Australia, following two years at Gwrych Castle in North Wales.
ITV bosses confirmed the news in August, saying: 'Returning to its home in Australia after a two-year break, our celebrities will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind as they spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.
'Whoever does end up in the legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off from the outside world and their fate will be in the hands of viewers who could decide to send them into a dreaded Bushtucker Trial.
'Our BAFTA award-winning hosts Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night. Who will be crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle? Find out this Autumn on ITV.'
