SAMANTHA FOX

80s page 3 legend Samantha Fox will appeal on two fronts - and, no, we don't just mean her boobs.

Samantha Fox

She's still got the glamour factor, but she's also something of a historical figure and will be a big hit with viewers aged 30+.

Sam says: "I've always seen myself as a bit of a female Rambo. I'll jump out of a plane, no problem. What I am scared of is creepy, crawly, wriggly, horrible things."

Don't worry Sam, nothing like that in the jungle.

Expect fireworks between Sam, 43, Misteeq popster Sabrina Bryan and Strictly star Camilla Dallerup, as they battle for leading sex symbol status.

JIMMY WHITE

HE'LL be a sure-fire hit with the lads, but can snooker veteran Jimmy White win round the female viewers?

Jimmy White

Pasty Jimmy, 47, is in his element wowing the Crucible crowds with his crafty cue-work. He's also proved himself a pretty cool customer in high-stakes poker games.

We're betting he can count on his laid-back south London charm to win him friends among the other celebs. But will it win him votes?

Jimmy fondly recalls a night spent camping with his son.

"It was just horrible - wet, cold, no TV ," he enthused. "If it was a choice between a tent and a hotel I'd have a hotel every time."

Great stuff Jimmy. We've got just the trip for you...

LUCY BENJAMIN

EX EastEnder Lucy Benjamin left Albert Square seven years ago after her character shot on-screen husband Phil Mitchell.

Lucy Benjamin

In true soap irony, Benjamin has also dated Phil - aka Steve McFadden in real life. She didn't shoot him, we should point out, though she did dump him after he cheated in her.

She's reportedly led a settled life in recent years, but viewers will be hoping for some Enders-style histrionics down under.

Couple of hitches spotted so far: Lucy lists flying insects, birds, butterflies and moths under her phobias. She's also said: "I couldn't be without my hair conditioner because I've got naturally curly hair."

We wish you luck, Lucy!

CAMILLA DALLERUP

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Camilla Dallerup is no stranger to the headlines.

Camilla Dallerup

She was shacked up with dancing lothario Brendan Cole until he did the dirty with partner and TV newsreader Natasha Kaplinski. Since then she's met her Mr Right, Hollyoaks actor Kevin Sacre.

Expect Danish beauty Camilla, 35, to compete with Sam Fox and Sabrina Bryan for the sex symbol role.

She admits: "I don't know how I will feel having a small ration of food.

"I'm constantly hungry and I am someone who really likes my food, at least three times a day, three proper meals . "

Should get along famously with chef Gino then.

COLIN MCALLISTER AND JUSTIN RYAN

TV makeover duo Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan are putting the camp in this year's jungle activities.

Colin McAllister

Colin and civil partner Justin found fame on BBC Two show The Million Pound Property Experiment and have also hosted ITV's 60 Minute Makeover.

Like the rest of our celebs they'll be after some positive media exposure, and they might just benefit from being a double-act. Watch this space!

Confident Colin says he has absolutely no phobias. He's also putting on a brave front about the show: "It's like a spa isn't it? It's the Skippy Spa where you just eat kangaroo and see the pounds come off - fantastic."

Partner Justin added: "If we can't be camp who can?"

Something tells us these chaps aren't taking their jungle duties too seriously...

KIM WOODBURN

THIS year How Clean Is Your House star Kim Woodburn is a safe bet for the I'm A Celeb Matriarch role.

Kim Woodburn

At 67, no nonsense Kim has said she's thinking of her trip down under as a holiday.

She can run an orderly household, no doubt, but will that stand her in good stead in the jungle?

Celebs might not take kindly to being told what to do!

Kim says: "I'm not getting out of bed at night, in the dark, with spiders dragging my knickers off! I'm going to pee wherever I can!"

STUART MANNING

FORMER Hollyoaks hunk Stuart Manning will be hoping to set female pulses racing.

Stuart Manning

Having left the hit C4 show earlier this year, Stuart, 29 - aka Russ Owen in Oaks - will be keen to raise his profile and might be a good bet for celebs attempting jungle romance.

He admits: "My bed has to be made first thing in the morning as soon as I get up. That might wind a few people up..."

Yes Stu, it might!

GINO D'ACAMPO

IT NEVER hurts to have transferable skills - and TV chef Gino D'Acampo might find his culinary expertise wins him some friends.

Gino D'Acampo

The Italian star, 34, has appeared on hit shows including Saturday Kitchen and Ready Steady Cook, so he should be used to pressure and screen exposure.

Something of an unknown quantity at this stage , Gino says:"I am the kind of man that needs to sleep at least eight hours a day. When I don't sleep I really get annoyed and everything that happens annoys me."

Tolerant, rational, and a great team player then!

GEORGE HAMILTON

PERMA-TANNED Hollywood veteran George Hamilton is this year's senior citizen in the jungle.

George Hamilton

At 70, the dashing star is said to be 'in it to win' by his people.

Back home at the mansion his hair is 'woven by angels' (his words, not ours), so he's had to have it cut short. Now it's standing on end like it's on viagra, he says. If you say so, George!

The immaculate smoothie says: "I'm thinking of sneaking a silk robe in and a martini." We expect great things from George.

Viewers will be hoping to be wowed by tales of Tinseltown's great and good.

SABRINA WASHINGTON

FORMER Misteeq babe Sabrina Washington caused headlines recently when she suggested bandmate Alesha Dixon couldn't sing.

Sabrina Washington

Count on Sabrina, 31, to be outspoken and opinionated on I'm A Celeb.

She said: "I sleep with my eyes open. I look like I'm awake but I'm actually sleeping¿that must be quite scary for someone sleeping next to me."

We agree.

Also expect friction with Strictly star Camilla Dallerup and former pin-up Sam Fox over the battle for sexiest female status.
