Author: Alex RossPublished 19th Oct 2021

Now that ITV have confirmed this year's series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here will once again return to North Wales, excitement is certainly building as the start date draws closer.

As the cold and dark nights creep in, rumours continue to swirl about which famous faces will be heading into Gwrych Castle, and now hosts Ant and Dec have sent fans into overdrive with a 'cast reveal' video.

The Geordie duo teased their 4.3 million Instagram followers by sharing a video of themselves reacting to this year's cast, and it's safe to say they look VERY pleased about the signings.

Captioning the video with: 'Bring. It. ON!! 🤩🏰 #ImACeleb', both Ant and Dec react with lots of happy and shocked emotions, without actually giving away which celebs have signed up.

Unsurprisingly, fans of the show were quick to comment on the cheeky tease video, demanding the boys reveal answers.

One fan commented: 'Don’t be shy, besties. Tell me the celebs 😇', with another writing: 'YOU CANNOT DO THIS AND NOT SHOW US'. (sic)

A third then wrote: 'Omg who is it???? Can't wait!!!💜', with another excited fan commenting: 'I have a feeling this I’m a celeb is gonna be brilliant'. (sic)

Check out the rumoured line-up for I'm A Celeb 2021 below:

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! Although Maura wasn't included in the cast announcement, reports are suggesting she could be a late arrival.

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 and will enter as a late arrival.

Ally McCoist

Scottish football legend Ally McCoist was reportedly in 'advanced talks' with bosses to appear on the 2024 series. The pundit has turned down the show twice in the past, and it looks like he's done the same again!

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 bosses were reportedly keen to sign him up for I'm A Celeb!

Jeremy Clarkson

Following the last ever series of The Grand Tour, rumours were 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.

Mick McCarthy

After departing his managerial position at Blackpool FC last year, Mick McCarthy was being tipped to head into the jungle!

Giovanni Pernice

Following his removal from Strictly Come Dancing, ITV/STV bosses were 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. However, Giovanni then signed up for the Italian version of Strictly.

Richard Gadd

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

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, it looks like she won't return this year.

Alex Beresford

Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford 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, but it looks like 2024 won't be her year either.

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.

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?

Harry Clark

The Traitors series two winner Harry Clark was 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 cast tease arrives as ITV released the first promo video for the 2021 series, featuring a knight on a horse heading to the now famous castle.

The short video, which featured the classic I'm A Celeb theme tune, was captioned with the emojis: '🛡️⚔️🐎 👀'.

Although ITV are so far keeping silent on both the release date and the line-up for the 2021 series, last year's show in North Wales kicked off on Sunday 15th November, with the line-up being revealed just days before.

So, with this in mind, hopefully we don't have too long to wait!
