Fans don't have long to wait!
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:
Su-Elise Nash
Mis-Teeq singer Su-Elise Nash is reportedly set to follow in the footsteps of her band mate Sabrina Washington, who appeared in 2009. A source said: "Su was incredibly supportive of ÂSabrina's jungle experience and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered. The reunion has reminded everyone just how much love there still is for Mis-Teeq."
Jeremy Clarkson
Thanks to the success of Clarkson's Farm, rumours were rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I'm A Celeb reportedly top of the list!
Jools Oliver
When hosts Ant and Dec invited TV chef Jamie Oliver to appear on the show, he quickly declined, saying: "Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I'm A Celeb. "I think it's an amazing show, but honestly, you couldn't give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo's a--e, no way."
However, he did nominate his wife Jools, adding: "But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools."
Nick Ferrari
Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on the line-up in 2025, but he didn't appear. Maybe they'll go back with a new offer in 2026.
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.
Although she's in demand right now and very busy with radio and TV jobs, we have to admit we'd love to see Liv back in the jungle at some point!
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 could she appear in 2026?
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.'
I'm A Celeb will begin on Sunday 6th November at 9pm.
