Katya Jones
Following THAT kiss with comedian Seann Walsh during last year's Strictly Come Dancing, while she was still married to fellow professional Neil Jones, Katya is a favourite to appear in the jungle.
John Terry
Bookies have made former England and Chelsea footballer John Terry a firm favourite to appear on this year's I'm A Celeb... and things could get a little awkward when you see the next person rumoured...
Frankie Bridge
Of course, John Terry had a MASSIVE falling out with his team-mate Wayne Bridge (Frankie's husband) back in 2010, when he was accused of cheating on his wife with Wayne's wife at the time.
Things could get very awkward between these two.
Eyal Booker
Love Island 2017 hunk Eyal Booker will bring some serious eye-candy to the jungle.

Jamie Laing
Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing was reportedly keen to follow in the footsteps of his co-star Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo, who won the show in 2017.

Alan Halsall

Myles Stephenson
Myles Stephenson, part of 2017 X Factor winners Rak-Su, was approached earlier this year after he was dumped by his Love Island girlfriend Gabby Allen.

Lewis Capaldi
Fans set up a change.org petition to get the Scottish crooner into the jungle, and he seemed keen on the idea.
"I just think, I can be amusing in fifteen second bursts. But, as soon as you see that most of the time, I just sit a lot on my phone.
"I mean, I wouldn't in the jungle. But, I think I'm just not that good. But, if they wanna get in touch with me, and are going to pay me, I would happily do it!"
Maura Higgins
Maura's own sister spoke about how she's love to see her in Jungle following her time on Love Island. "There is so much lined up for her but I would love to see her on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, if I could pick her.
