Fans don't have long to wait!
Last updated 26th Oct 2022
With November fast approaching, fans are gearing up for the brand new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, as the popular ITV show returns to Australia with hosts Ant and Dec.
After ITV bosses dropped the first trailer earlier this month, rumours are now rife as to which celebrities will be heading over to the jungle to appear in the 2022 series.
When does I'm A Celeb start?
ITV have now confirmed the 2022 series of I'm A Celeb will begin on Sunday 6th November at 9pm.
Sharing the news on social media on Wednesday 26th October, the post read: 'Mark your calendars… the countdown is on! 🇦🇺🙌 #ImACeleb'. (sic)
Although this date is slightly earlier than past series, it's understood bosses have made the decision to move the show forward due to the Winter World Cup in Qatar, which begins on Sunday 20th November.
Although ITV are yet to unveil the cast for the upcoming series, as always, rumours are rife as to which famous faces have signed up.
As well as Love Island's Olivia Attwood, Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall is also rumoured, as well as Chris Moyles, Mike Tindall and former EastEnders actor Danny Dyer.
In recent days, reports suggest 61-year-old Boy George has also signed up, with a contract which will make him the highest-paid contestant in the show's history.
Check out all of the rumoured celebs for I'm A Celeb 2022:
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now and it's understood he was due to appear in 2023, before picking up a nasty ACL injury which resulted in him needing major surgery. It's now being reported that bosses are keen to sign Alan for the 2024 show.
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, after Olivia didn't appear in the 2023 series, could she feature on the 2024 line-up?
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his presenting role on This Morning in 2023, rumours were rife that Phillip Schofield could take part in the 2023 series. As fans will know, Phillip wasn't on the line-up, but with reports suggesting he's about to make a comeback to TV, could I'm A Celeb be the platform he needs to re-launch his career?
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford has 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, so will 2024 be her year?
Sam Aston
Coronation Street legend Sam Aston hinted he'd love to take part in the show in 2021.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, he said: "I've always said no to all of those shows, but then recently for some reason I've been more open to the idea. Jennie McAlpine and Andy Whyment did the jungle and both of them said it's the experience of a lifetime.
"If I was offered it I would be open to the idea and open to the extra pennies!"
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. As he's not yet entered the jungle, could 2024 be his 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?
Richard Arnold
Good Morning Britain's entertainment presenter Richard Arnold is usually the one travelling over to Australia to report on the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be taking part this year!
What we do know is that the show will return to Australia, following two years at Gwrych Castle in North Wales.
ITV bosses confirmed the news in August, saying: 'Returning to its home in Australia after a two-year break, our celebrities will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind as they spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.
'Whoever does end up in the legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off from the outside world and their fate will be in the hands of viewers who could decide to send them into a dreaded Bushtucker Trial.
'Our BAFTA award-winning hosts Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night. Who will be crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle? Find out this Autumn on ITV.'
I'm A Celeb will begin on Sunday 6th November at 9pm.
