The team behind I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! may have gone through some trying times recently just like the rest of us, but show bosses are determined to make it happen this year come hell or high water!

Thankfully, their hard work has paid off, and we will be seeing celebrity campmates take up residence in Gwrych Castle in North Wales - with the celebrity line-up being rumoured pretty heavily last week.

Show bosses have now revealed just exactly when we will be served this feast for the eyes - and there's not long to wait, as I'm A Celeb! 2020 will be airing on Sunday 15th November at 9pm!

Confirming the news to the Mirror, we now know that there's less than two weeks to wait until we see famous faces take on the deadly Bushtucker Trials - something Ant and Dec have FINALLY done themselves after 19 years of hosting the show!

Scroll through to see which celebs are rumoured for I'm A Celeb! 2020:

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!

Although Wales is currently in lockdown until 9th November, the team have been able to continue prepping the site after work was allowed to continue.

A spokesperson for Gwrych Castle said, "Following the announcement from the First Minister, the overriding message is that filming can continue in Wales, providing related activity cannot be undertaken from home, and there is full compliance with Welsh law. We cannot wait to see I’m A Celebrity on our screens."

ITV added, "I'm A Celebrity continues to adhere to all relevant guidelines as well as our own strict Covid protocols."
