Shona McGarty
The ITV show is yet to officially announce their full line up – but EastEnders actor Shona is reportedly the latest star to sign on the dotted line (Seen in the soap in 2023)
Soap actress Shona McGarty, who is known for her former role as Whitney Dean in EastEnders, is the latest star rumoured to be entering the jungle.
She was a huge fan favourite on the soap after she made her debut in 2008 – but ultimately decided to leave the show in 2024.
Shona, 34, is rumoured to be a favourite of ITV bosses and they have reportedly been ‘keen’ to sign her for some time, according to The Sun.
A source told the publication: ‘Jungle bosses have been keen to sign up the soap queen for ages.
‘Shona is Walford royalty and hugely popular with TV viewers, she’s got bags of charisma and producers think she’ll be a great campmate.’
Aitch
BRIT Award winner Aitch, 25, is also reportedly set to be going Down Under for the ITV show, and would follow in the footsteps of fellow rapper Tinchy Stryder, who appeared on the show 11 years ago.
Aitch, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, has had nine top 10 hits and became a viral sensation after he struck up a very close connection with YouTube creator Amelia Dimoldenberg when the pair met on her Chicken Shop series.
Despite neither of the pair ever confirming the relationship, Amelia did appear in his Baby video as his date, which sent fans into a frenzy.
Aitch who is from Manchester, won the British Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act at The BRIT Awards in 2023 and has over six million followers across his social platforms and YouTube.
It’s this broad following and the fact he is younger which is thought to have had an appeal on ITV bosses.
A source told The Sun: ‘Aitch has a massive following among teenagers and 20-somethings and bosses will be hoping he’ll bring a new generation of fans.
‘He’ll make for great viewing as he has a plethora of stories from his time in the music industry.
‘He’s also known for having a sharp wit which will keep his campmates and viewers entertained.’
Nick Ferrari

Nick Ferrari could also be heading to Australia for this year’s series in a reportedly lucrative deal.
The star is said to be in talks with the channel about taking part in the reality competition show as ITV bosses are believed to be ‘determined to bag him’.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘Jungle bosses think Nick would be a brilliant addition this year.
‘He knows everyone in politics so he would have a wealth of Westminster gossip around the campfire.
‘Producers are determined to bag him this year and are prepared to dig deep into their pockets for a lucrative fee.’
Lisa Rily
Emmerdale star Lisa Rily is also believed to be joining the line up. The actress, 49, has played Mandy Dingle on the soap for 30 years, making a bombshell return to the village six years ago
Emmerdale star Lisa Rily is also believed to be joining the line up.
The actress, 49, has played Mandy Dingle on the Yorkshire soap for 30 years, making a bombshell return to the village six years ago.
Sources have claimed that Lisa is in advanced talks with bosses to move into the Australian jungle when the show returns in November.
The soap star has made it no secret that she is a fan of the show, meaning she could follow in the footsteps of many Dales favourites such as Danny Miller, Gemma Atkinson and Adam Thomas by taking part in the show.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘Lisa is the perfect celebrity for the show because not only is she from a soap watched by millions she’s one of its biggest characters and it’s an ITV show to boot.
‘She also has a naughty, mischievous sense of humour which is guaranteed to get a big response from her other celebrity campmates during their time in the jungle.’
Kelly Brook
Kelly Brook is reportedly ‘set to travel to Australia’ next month to appear on I’m A Celeb , despite previously claiming she would never do it
Kelly Brook is reportedly ‘set to travel to Australia’ next month to appear on I’m A Celeb, despite previously claiming she would never do it.
The Heart FM presenter, 45, is said to be joining the ITV series despite saying back in 2018 there would be ‘a million’ other things she would rather do – such as working in her local pub – than appear in the jungle.
‘I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles and all the things they have to eat on there,’ she said on her Heart radio show.
‘Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.’
Kelly finished with her honest opinion about appearing on the primetime show saying: ‘It’s kind of like the beginning of the end in my opinion!’
That said – and with rumours that bosses have tried to get Kelly on the show for years – it is thought the model may been persuaded this time by a big money deal.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘She’s glamorous, witty and a familiar face to ITV audiences, having appeared as a panellist for Loose Women and other shows.
‘She’s guaranteed to make perfect TV viewing.’
They added: ‘Many viewers will be excited to see her strip off for the famous jungle waterfall show too.’
Vogue Williams
Vogue Williams is also reportedly being lined up for this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Podcaster Vogue Williams is also reportedly heading to the jungle.
The TV personality, 40, is said to have signed up for the show ahead of the launch next month, with bosses hoping she will become the pin-up of the series.
A source previously told The Sun: ‘Vogue is one of the most glam signings I’m A Celeb has landed in years and they are thrilled.
‘Her star is massively on the rise and this will be one of her biggest gigs yet. She is really fun and gets on with everyone, so bosses reckon she will be a hit with viewers.
‘It has been a hard decision to go on the show, because it will mean so much time away from her kids, but she wants to fight her fears and go for it.’
