We might already know the official starting line-up for this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, but there is a lot of speculation swirling over who the late arrival campmates will be.

Comedian Seann Walsh and former Health Secretary Matt Hancock already look set to join the camp as latecomers, after Matt was suspended from the Conservative Party. However, it now looks like fans have worked out another latecomer to the infamous jungle.

Fans of McFly singer Harry Judd have been speculating that he could be a secret 13th contestant set to enter the jungle, as the drummer told his fans on Instagram: 'I’m going away for a month. Having a digital detox. 🤫❤️'.

His wife Izzy then commented: '😭 what will we do without you! Xxx', implying that he is having more than just a digital detox.

Fans have also been commenting on his photo suggesting he might be on his way to Australia, with one writing: 'Oh my god please tell me you’re doing I’m a celebrity', with another saying: 'I smell im a celebrity 😂', and one more writing: 'harry, we know you're going to a reality show...' (sic)

Izzy has also shared a black and white photo of the family heavily suggesting he will be heading onto the show: 'Harry is away for work for the next 4 weeks 😱 I can’t say too much but he will be offline. Going to be such a challenge to be apart, separation anxiety is a tough one to navigate at the best of times! Very grateful for family and friends who are supporting me through ❤️'.

Of course this wouldn't be the first time a member of McFly has been on the series, with Harry's bandmate Dougie Poynter previously winning the series back in 2011, having beaten Mark Wright and Fatima Whitbread to become King of the Jungle.

Giovanna Fletcher, wife of McFly's Tom Fletcher, also took part in the popular series two years ago when she also won the series, leaving Vernon Kay in third place and Jordan North in second.

Now take a look through the confirmed line-up for the new series:

Olivia was forced to leave the show after just 24 hours as a precautionary measure to undergo medical tests. An ITV spokesperson said: "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."

We are now just a few days away from the first episode of the new series of I'm a Celebrity which will see a huge change from previous years. According to executive producer Olly Nash, who told The Mirror: "It's much bigger than we've ever done before. And we're filming more (challenges) than we've ever filmed before."

In went on to explain that the celebs would be split into three teams, instead of the usual two, with multiple challenges before they get to the camp. Some celebs he teased might not even make it to the camp by the end of the first episode!

Olly also revealed more about the sleeping arrangements at this year's camp saying: "We have bunk beds which is a first for I'm A Celebrity and then we have a Luxury RV that was driven through the jungle about 35 years ago, broke down and was never moved. That will make a very comfy home for two people inside there."

I'm a Celebrity is set to start at 9pm on Sunday 6th November.
