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:
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 has since hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she's had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
Nick Pickard
Rumours are rife that Hollyoaks legend Nick Pickard is in talks for the 2023 series. Nick, who plays the role of Tony Hutchinson, would be a huge signing for bosses.
Josie Gibson
Former Big Brother winner Josie Gibson has been on our TV screens a lot over the last six months, landing a more permanent role on ITV Daytime Show This Morning. Due to her increased popularity, I'm A Celeb bosses are reportedly super keen to get her in the jungle.
Liz Truss
After just 44 days in office in 2022, Liz Truss resigned as Prime Minister following a chaotic reign in Downing Street, but now it sounds like she could be heading over to Australia.
According to OLBG, Liz is currently sitting at 25/1 to appear on the show, with a source saying: "Liz Truss is a new entrant in the betting market to appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity with Matt Hancock's appearance on the show possibly giving inspiration to other Politicians!"
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.
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his presenting role on This Morning earlier this year, rumours are rife Phillip Schofield could take part in this year's series.
Nigel Farage
Former politician Nigel Farage has admitted he's been asked to appear on the show a number of time over the years, but at the beginning of November, he did admit he's not yet signed the contract! There's still time though!
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.
Richard Madeley
Although Richard Madeley took part in the 2021 series of I'm A Celeb, after the broadcaster was forced to quit following a sudden illness, many thought he would be back for the 2022 series.
However, after he failed to appear, many are wondering if he will feature in 2023.
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 2023 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!"
Danny Cipriani
According to reports, bosses are keen to sign former Rugby player Danny Cipriani for the 2023 series. A source told the publication: "Danny is one of the most exciting signings for this series... There is also huge anticipation that he will reveal secrets from his showbiz lifestyle... but he has a sense of humour too which will ensure he is both popular amongst his camp mates but also with those watching at home."
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 2023 be his year?
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now, but so far, he's not appeared on the show! However, it sounds like 2023 could be his year, with reports suggesting he's 'in talks' to join.
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing last year, 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 2023 be his year?
Boris Johnson
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson had reportedly 'held talks' with bosses to appear on the show after Matt Hancock's appearance, but it looks like he's turned them down!
Marvin Humes
JLS star Marvin Humes is rumoured to be heading to the jungle and joining the I'm A Celeb line-up. Marvin has not taken part in the show before, so could 2023 be his year?
Jamie Lynn Spears
According to The Mirror, American actress Jamie Lynn Spears is rumoured for the show, with bosses hoping Britney Spears' younger sister will spill the beans on their damaged relationship.
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.
