The latest series of I’m a Celebrity is just around the corner, with the show expected to return to ITV’s screens on 16 November. Last week, the show released its stomach-churning trailer, and it featured our favourite presenting duo, Ant and Dec, in matching festive jumpers as they served up a Christmas dinner in the style of the series’ signature Bushtucker trials. “It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and it’s about to get even better with the news that the new series of I’m A Celebrity… is just weeks away!” Ant said in the trailer.
And we won’t need to wait until the celebrities arrive at the airport, as The Sun has confirmed the show’s full line-up, and it includes two soap icons, a social media star, a rock legend and the son of the late Ozzy Osbourne, who died on 22 July following a heart attack, further complicated by his Parkinson’s disease. Scroll down to see the full line-up…
Kelly has signed on after not wanting to for years
Kelly Brook
Model Kelly has previously insisted that she would never sign up for I’m a Celebrity, but it appears that the 46-year-old has finally been tempted Down Under. Back in 2018, she told reporters: “I can think of a million things I’d rather do. I’d rather go and work in my local pub.” Kelly knows her way around a reality TV show, finishing in sixth place on the fifth series of Strictly Come Dancing and competing on last year’s Celebrity Race Around the World.

Martin will be following in his son, Roman’s footsteps, who reached the final of the 19th series in 2019.

Martin isn’t the only star with a family connection in the jungle, as model Vogue Williams will also be heading over. The star, 40, is married to former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, who memorably lasted for three days back in the 15th series of the show after it was uncovered that he had been using steroids. Vogue is a hilarious host on her podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me with comedian Joanne McNally, and her past success on Bear Grylls: Mission Survive proves she’s not afraid of a challenge.

He’ll no doubt be wanting to take home the trophy this time!
