The News of the World is the first to reveal that ex EastEnder Joe Swash, 26, former Blue singer Simon Webbe, 29, and presenter Esther Rantzen, 68, are on their way to camp in New South Wales, Australia.
Chelsea and England midfielder Joe Cole's fiancee Carly Zucker, 24, will go bush tucker along with former Page 3 girl Nicola McLean - WAG to Peterborough's Tommy Williams, 26.
Lesbian tennis ace Martina Navratilova, 52, will be swatting flies along with the likes of ex Met deputy commissioner Brian Paddick, 50, and MP-turned presenter Robert Kilroy-Silk, 66.
Former telly host and singer Dani Behr, 37, will be there, as will American actor George Takei, 71, who played Mr Sulu in the Star Trek TV series.
All the action kicks off on ITV1 on Sunday at 9pm.
![]() | Joe Swash |
| Helium-voiced Londoner Joe Swash is sure to liven up the jungle - he's a regular on the capital's party circuit. The 26-year-old actor - who played EastEnders' Mickey Miller - has known fame from a young age, having starred in an Andrex commercial when he was just seven. | |
![]() | Simon Webbe |
| Prepare to swoon, ladies - ex-Blue heartthrob Simon is set to melt female hearts among the trees and greenery. Simon's girlfriend Layla Manoochechri is right to be concerned - what with Dani Behr, Carly Zucker and Esther Rantzen strolling around in their smalls. | |
![]() | Esther Rantzen |
| Crusading Esther is best known for presenting That's Life, a TV show that sent a generation of children running to do their homework. She has a toothy grin and a heart of gold. Undoubtedly the bookie's wild card choice for this year's I'm A Celeb... | |
![]() | Carly Zucker |
| Wag Carly is better known as Chelsea ace Joe Cole's missus. She's a fitness instructor so we know she's in good shape. | |
![]() | Nicola McLean |
|
Page 3 pin-up Nicola recently announced her engagement to Peterborough United star Tom Williams, so, technically, she's a WAG too. Expect her to compete for the 'totty' roll with Carly and Dani. | |
![]() | Martina Navratilova |
| Terrifying tennis ace Martina dominated the world's base lines in the 1980s, winning a staggering 18 grand slams. All sinew and muscle, she looks like she can handle herself in most situations. The jungle should be a breeze. | |
![]() | Brian Paddick |
| Count on former Met copper Brian to stir things up in the jungle this year. Outspoken Brian - who ran for London mayor - is no stranger to controversy and no stranger to speaking his mind. You have been warned, celebs. | |
![]() | Robert Kilroy-Silk |
| Talkshow king Robert will be keen to top up that dubious tan when he heads for the Aussie outback. The self-styled Solomon could prove useful in arbitrating the inevitable clashes between fellow celebs. | |
![]() | Dani Behr |
| Husky Dani set pulses racing as co-presenter of carcrash TV show The Word. She's been relatively off-radar since, so her appearance on our screens could herald quite a comeback. | |
![]() | George Takei |
| George who? He's the bloke off the original Star Trek series, who played Mr Sulu. Not Kirk, Spock or Scotty - the other one. Younger readers, and non-Trekkies, may know him better for his role as Kaito Nakamura on Heroes. Then again, maybe they won't. |

in these dark winter days of the credit crunch, thank god for IACGMOOH- the stellar array of talent which has been lined up for this series is almost of the calibre of the series that had tony blackburn in it. Here's to many happy hours of viewing.
