Last updated 20th Nov 2018
Fans of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have been left scratching their heads after reports that Deal Or No Deal's Noel Edmonds was set to enter the jungle - but there's been no sign of him so far on I'm A Celebrity.
The new series began on Sunday 18th Nov, but despite reports that Noel - who's apparently the highest-paid campmate EVER - would be entering, the 69-year-old has yet to make an appearance in the jungle.

However, as has been tradition in the past on I'm A Celeb, more campmates were set to join the show later in the series - but thanks to Noel's whopping reported fee of £600,000, ITV have had to axe the twelfth person they were hoping to introduce to the jungle.
According to Mirror Online, a TV source has said that show bosses "have really pushed the boat out and splashed the cash more than ever before," adding that this meant there a "change to the format had to be made."
They added, "Harry Redknapp and Noel cost over £1million between the two of them and they’ve spent good money on the likes of Nick Knowles and Rita Simons too."
Noel was reported to be entering the jungle by the Mirror Online, after a TV source revealed that ITV was "desperate to get Noel," adding that "he’s a huge name to secure and everyone has high hopes he’ll pull in plenty of ratings."
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight on ITV at 9pm.
