Author: Alex RossPublished 29th Oct 2024

Following the brilliant 23rd series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! last year, it's no surprise that fans are already counting down for this year's edition, as hosts Ant and Dec return to Australia for series 24.

With the show due to return in November, we've found out all the gossip you need to know about I'm A Celeb 2024, including the start date, the rumoured cast, and the brand new spin-off show.

When is I'm A Celeb back on TV?

After releasing the first teaser trailer on Sunday 13th October, revealing the show is 'coming soon', bosses later dropped another longer trailer on Thursday 24th October, where they confirmed I'm A Celeb will begin on Sunday 17th November.

The post read: ''Get ready for a jungle-filled experiment! 🧑‍🔬🐍🕷️I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Returns 17th November to ITV1 and ITVX 🐛'. (sic)

Which celebs have signed up?

It's a bit early at the moment for any official line-up confirmation, but as ever, rumours are rife.

Reports are suggesting Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall will feature, with other names such as Coleen Rooney, Tommy Fury, Ally McCoist and Jeremy Clarkson.

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.

Richard Gadd

After shooting to intense fame earlier this year following the release of Netflix's Baby Reindeer, Scottish actor and comedian Richard Gadd is now reportedly being lined-up by bosses for the 2024 series of I'm A Celeb.

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

Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford has recently expressed interest in appearing on I'm A Celeb. He told the Mirror: "Out of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle."


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?

The 2023 cast were officially unveiled on Monday 13th November.

When is the I'm A Celeb final?

There's no word yet on the 2024 final date, but if the show airs for three weeks like normal, the final will take place on Sunday 8th December.

The 2023 final took place live on Sunday 10th December at 9pm.

What channel is I'm A Celeb on?

The 2024 series of I'm A Celeb will air on ITV1 and ITVX, and STV1 and STV Player for viewers in Scotland.

What time is I'm A Celeb on?

Just like past years, I'm A Celeb 2024 is set to air at 9pm.

Where is it filmed?

The 2024 series is due to be filmed out in Australia again this year, with reports suggesting the crew will return to Springbrook National Park, near Murwillumbah and close to the Queensland border.

What is the new spin-off show?

Following a four-year absence, there will be a brand new spin-off series for 2024, called I'm A Celeb: Unpacked.

The news was announced on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday 29th October, with Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers being announced as hosts for the new ITV2/STV2 show.

Speaking to Richard Arnold about his new gig, Joel said: "I did the extra show for three years, which I loved. I feel like I learned everything there. And then it stopped for a couple of years and it feels like the right time to bring it back.

"We’re really sort of mixing it up. We’re changing it a lot.

"Obviously, we’ve changed the name, which is great. And we’re going to have Ant and Dec on every day talking through lots of stuff."

Bosses are yet to confirm any further details at this time.

Who won I'm A Celeb last year?

Radio presenter Sam Thompson was crowned the winner during the final on Sunday 10th December!

Speaking after his victory, Sam said: "Thank you so much for making my jungle experience. I didn't even think I'd be invited onto a show like this and I can't even explain how grateful I am.

"You've made my dream come true and I'm a very, very lucky person. So thank you so much, I really appreciate every single one of you. King of the Jungle, baby!"

Who hosts I'm A Celeb?

Geordie duo Ant and Dec are set to return to host the 2024 series.

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have been an imperative part of the hit show since it first hit our screens back in 2022.

The popular pair, who also present shows such as Britain's Got Talent, Saturday Night Takeaway and Limitless Win, have hosted every series of I'm A Celeb together, except the 2018 series when Holly Willoughby stepped in for Ant as he took some time out of the spotlight.

Has I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp been axed?

After nearly two decades on our TV screens, I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp was axed in 2020 due to 'high production costs'.

Presenter Joel Dommett confirmed the sad news in January 2020, writing: 'Sad news - The time has unfortunately come to put Extra Camp to bed in its uncomfortable hammock. The show will no longer continue. It’s been a huge privilege to be a part a show with such a rich history filled with amazing hosts.'

He added: 'The producers have assured me that @emilyatackofficial @adamthomas21 and myself are not to blame - they said the show was better than ever and also that Joel is the sexiest presenter we have ever had (I wasn’t listening but it was something like that) - it is simply because it’s expensive given how late it’s on and the funds will be used in more prime time slots. I’ve told them that Adam will do it for free but the decision is made.'

Joel then thanked bosses for his time on the show, adding: 'Thank you to all the crew who have made this the most wonderful 3 years, you have shaped me as a person and presenter. I’ve learnt so much. Thank you to everyone for watching #extracamp' (sic)

Who presented I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp?

Scarlett Moffatt, Joel Dommett and Joe Swash presented I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp for the last few years, but in 2019, the show changed things up.

After both Scarlett and Joe decided to step down from the show, ITV confirmed that former contestants Emily Atack and Adam Thomas would be presenting the show alongside Joel Dommett in 2019.

Over the years a number of famous faces have presenter Extra Camp, including Caroline Flack, Russell Kane, Laura Whitmore, Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash.

Is there a new I'm A Celebrity spin-off show?

Despite I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp being cancelled, there was a special spin-off show for the 2020 series, called I'm A Celebrity... The Daily Drop.

The show exclusively aired on the ITV Hub, with a brand new episode dropping every morning at 7am.

However, it was announced in October 2021 that the show would not be returning, meaning the main show won't have a spin-off for the first time in history.

I'm A Celebrity: Bushtucker trials:

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) launched a petition to end animal trials on I'm A Celebrity, and in November 2019 it had reached 13K signatures. Following some backlash from viewers, the 2019 series of I'm A Celeb already saw the trials stop eating live animals, but animal rights organisation PETA are hoping to put an end to animal-related trials altogether.

It had also been rumoured that eating trials on the 2020 series of the show may have been axed during filming in the UK.

A spokesperson for RSPCA, the largest animal welfare charity in the UK told Metro: “The RSPCA does not endorse the use of animals in any form of entertainment and in particular where this is likely to cause distress or suffering.

“However, we do feel it’s important to offer advice to those who decide to use animals in entertainment and will always offer further guidance including ways to seek alternatives to animal use.

“More generally, we don’t endorse the use of animals in any form of entertainment, but if approached we will offer advice that promotes good welfare practice and can help avoid unnecessary distress and suffering. Our advice will always include seeking alternative methods to animal use.”

However, eating trials have took place ever since.

I'm A Celebrity: Secrets of the show:

Ant and Dec were asked why they always have their watches covered when they come into contact with the campmates. Back in 2017, I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp hosts Joel Dommett and Scarlett Moffatt told a viewer: "It's so the campmates don't know the time, so all the watches are covered for the people that see the campmates all the time, like Ant, Dec and Medic Bob."

Alison Hammond also revealed that a deadly animal had made its way into the camp during one of the earlier episodes. The This Morning presenter, who had a stint in the jungle in 2010, confirmed that a Goanna had been roaming about the camp, saying: "If you get bit by one of them it's potentially fatal. Their tails are like razors. They can take your skin off."

Fans were also left baffled after Cliff Parisi was spotted smoking a nicotine inhalator in the camp. Viewers were convinced that campmates weren't allowed to smoke, but ITV confirmed that they're allowed to smoke if they want, so long as they put it out on the camp fire.

Who has quit I'm A Celeb?

Not one, but two celebs chose to quit I'm A Celeb during the 2023 series, including Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears, but they aren't the only ones to do so in I'm A Celeb history.

Over the last 23 series, 20 famous faces have chosen to leave the jungle early, all having their own reasons.

Check out which celebs have quit the show:

2023: Grace Dent

After one week in the jungle, food critic Grace Dent mutually decided with bosses to leave the jungle on 'medical grounds'. Before her exit a number of viewers expressed their concerns for Grace's health.


A spokesperson for I'm A Celeb said: "Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds. She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike."

2023: Jamie Lynn Spears

Just days after Grace Dent's exit, Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn Spears also made the decision to leave the jungle. After a week of threats to her fellow camp mates that she wanted to quit, Jamie Lynn left on 'medical grounds'.


A spokesperson for the show said: "Jamie Lynn Spears has left I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds. She's been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities."

2022: Olivia Attwood

Just 24 hours after the official I'm A Celeb 2022 launch show on Sunday 6th November, news broke that former Love Island star Olivia Attwood had to quit the series as a 'precautionary measure'.


An ITV spokesperson said at the time: "As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks. Unfortunately, the medical team has advised it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be further investigation. She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."


After a lot of speculation about her departure, Olivia later took part in an interview where she confessed she was heartbroken to be told she wouldn't be able to continue on the show. Although Olivia hinted she could return for the 2023 series, she later revealed she wouldn't be appearing, admitting 'the time wasn't right for her'.

2021: Richard Madeley

Whilst taking part in the 2021 series of I'm A Celeb, which was filmed in North Wales due to COVID-19 restrictions, TV presenter Richard Madeley was forced to quit after he was rushed to hospital during the middle of the night. Although Richard was ok, he was asked to leave the show after breaking his COVID bubble.


I'm A Celeb bosses said: "Our strict covid protocols means Richard has sadly had to leave the show as he is no longer in the bubble the celebrities form when entering the castle. He has been a truly brilliant camp mate and we thank him for being part of this series."

2017: Jack Maynard

During the 2017 series, YouTuber Jack Maynard quit the show after just two days, following a number of stories that he'd sent racist and homophobic tweets in the past. Jack's team made the decision to remove him from the Australian jungle so he had the opportunity to defend his actions.


His team released a statement at the time saying: "In the last few days Jack has been the subject of a succession of media stories which, given his position as a contestant on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - filmed in the Australian jungle, with no contact with the outside world, he has been unable to respond to.


"Since it is only fair that everyone should be aware of any allegations made against them and should also have the right to defend themselves, it was agreed that it would be better to bring him out of the show. Jack agrees with this decision which was made by his representatives and ITV and thanks everyone who has supported him in the show this far."

2015: Spencer Matthews

I'm A Celeb fans were left very confused during the 2015 series, when former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews was removed from the camp after just two days, with little explanation.


Taking part in an interview after his exit, Spencer confessed he'd been taking steroid pills to bulk up for a charity boxing match, but failed to tell show bosses. He said in a statement: "Shortly after I arrived in Australia I told the production team that I was taking a steroid-based medication that had begun some weeks ago.


"When I started taking this programme of pills it was in preparation for a charity boxing match which, ironically, never took place. Vanity, I suppose, had been the reason for wanting to bulk up a bit for the fight. I had intended to come off the pills gradually, but there was no time to do this before I reached the jungle.


"My admission to the production team that I was still taking these pills led to the conclusion that it would be unsafe for me to stay in the jungle - a decision which I found extremely hard to stomach.


"I pushed back but ultimately the show's duty of care prevailed and bags had to be packed. Taking these pills was a serious error of judgment, which I hugely regret. I have disappointed my family, friends and fans and would like to apologise. I would like to thank ITV for the opportunity and their support, they're a class act.


"I loved every minute of being in the jungle and wish the remaining contestants the best of luck. Hoping for another shot at it someday."

2015: Lady Colin Campbell

Just days before the final in 2016, Lady Colin Campbell unfortunately had to withdraw from the show on 'medical grounds', leaving viewers gutted.


A spokesperson for the show released a brief statement at the time, saying: "Lady C has left the jungle on medical grounds."

2014: Gemma Collins

Perhaps the most memorable departure in the show's history arrived in 2014, when reality star Gemma Collins sensationally quit after just three days! After an emotional helicopter ride and some pretty spectacular tantrums, GC told bosses she was quitting.


Years after the show, Gemma confirmed the real reason for her quick departure, saying on Twitter: 'My time was short in the jungle and not many people know that I was robbed and physically attacked 24 hours before leaving for Australia. I didn't want to let anyone down, so I still went in.


'However, I was in a terrible state and shock as you can imagine and couldn't see it through. I took lots of stick over it, but if you was robbed and attacked and then sent into the jungle, I'm sure you would have struggled too. I would never let anyone destroy my dreams again.'

2014: Craig Charles

Former Coronation Street actor Craig Charles made the decision to leave the jungle during the 2014 series after being told the heartbreaking news that his brother had sadly passed away.


Bosses said at the time: "Craig was told the sad news earlier today. He was devastated and decided to leave straight away, but did stop to say his goodbyes to his fellow celebrities. He was a great part of the show and we are sorry to see him leave but completely respect his wishes. He is expected to fly home tomorrow."

2012: Brian Conley

Comedian Brian Conley was forced to quit the show in 2012 after being taking ill and rushed to hospital. During an interview on Lorraine following his return to the UK, Brian confirmed he was diagnosed with malnutrition and exhaustion by doctors in hospital.


He said: "It is under extreme circumstances and I started to feel really bad because in the end, very shortly after that, I did have to leave. I had an examination and they found I had malnutrition and was suffering from exhaustion. They sedated me in hospital and gave me a tablet that would probably knock out a horse for two days. I woke up with a saline drip in my arm thinking, 'what on earth has happened here?'."

2010: Nigel Havers

Actor Nigel Havers made the decision to quit the show in 2010 after he didn't agree with a certain trial which involved the camp mates receiving a small electric shock.


In an interview in 2021, Nigel later dubbed his time on the show as 'total boredom', so it's safe to say he won't be returning for any spin-offs!

2009: Camilla Dallerup

Professional dancer Camilla Dallerup quit the show after just three days during the 2009 series!


Speaking not long after her departure, Camilla admitted she should have never signed up to take part, saying: "I've never quit anything in my life, but I was at the stage where I'd nearly passed out several times. Before I flew to Australia my doctor in London was really concerned about my weight because I couldn't afford to lose any more.


"As a dancer I'm very lean so I had no reserves to keep me going in the jungle. I wasn't getting enough salt and sugar, and I started to get palpitations. I had memory loss, my speech was slurred and my hands were cramping - it was scary. I had to lie down after going 10 steps to the toilet."

2009: Katie Price

Glamour model and TV personality Katie Price made I'm A Celeb history in 2009 when she become the first ever celeb to appear on the show twice. However, Katie's second stint wasn't as successful, with her deciding to quit after just nine days.


Katie admitted she left the show after being fed up of being voted to the Bushtucker Trials every night by the public.

2009: George Hamilton

Following in the footsteps of both Katie Price and Camilla Dallerup, American actor George Hamilton also chose to quit the show in 2009, just days before the final. Despite lasting a while on the show, George didn't take part in any Bushtucker Trials during his stint.

2005: Kimberley Davies

Former Neighbours actress Kimberley Davies didn't have the best of starts to life in the I'm A Celeb camp during the 2005 series. During a trial, Kimberley completed a 15ft jump from a helicopter to hit a target floating in water, but unfortunately she fractured her rib during the trial.


Just hours later, Kimberley made the decision to leave the show.

2005: Elaine Lordan

Former EastEnders actress Elaine Lordan was also forced to leave the show in 2005, after passing out twice within a day of arriving into camp.


A spokesperson said at the time: "We have given a great deal of thought and consideration to Elaine's situation and have decided that she won't be returning to the jungle. ITV has a responsibility to all of the celebrities taking part and given what has happened to Elaine on two separate occasions in as many days, and knowing what challenges lie ahead in the show, ITV has decided to err on the side of caution."

2004: Brian Harvey

East 17 singer Brian Harvey quit the show after just five days in 2004, following an argument with Janet Street-Porter over "farting and smoking".

2004: Natalie Appleton

All Saints singer Natalie Appleton was the second celeb to quit the 2004 series. Natalie chose to walk out of camp during the early hours of the morning after discovering she'd been voted to undergo a fifth Bushtucker Trial.

2004: Johnny Rotten (John Lydon)

Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten chose to leave the jungle just five days before the final during series three, which also featured the likes of Kerry Katona, Peter Andre and Katie Price.

2003: Daniella Westbrook

Former EastEnders star Daniella Westbrook made history during the second series in 2003, becoming the first celeb to voluntarily leave the jungle.


Daniella left the show after nine days and said on her departure: "It was an interesting experience. I am not going to say I enjoyed it, I didn't enjoy one little bit, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I have never been so bored in my life - one thing I have learnt from the whole thing is I can't deal with boredom, I am hopeless with it."

I'm A Celeb will return later this year.
