I'm a Celebrity 2023 rumoured line-up including Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Josie Gibson and more
We've seen Strictly Come Dancing kick off, Halloween and Christmas are being planned for, so there's only one more thing we need answers about this autumn, who's going into the I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here jungle?
2022 saw the I'm a Celeb action return to the Australian Outback after two years in Gwyrch Castle, North Wales and stars like Boy George, Chris Moyles, Mike Tindall MBE, Charlene White and eventual Queen of the Jungle, Lioness Jill Scott were treated tothree weeks of taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.
This year there's been another host of famous faces being touted as the next lot of Bushtucker trial subjects who will be teased relentlessly by returning hosts Ant & Dec. They include a fresh round of soap stars, ex-politicians, TV presenters and sports stars.
Here's the current list of rumours for I'm a Celeb 2023
Liz Truss
There has been rumours all summer that the brief Prime Minister would be heading Down Under as the show's bosses were said to have fancied paying her to enter the jungle. But the politician, who was PM for 49 days in autumn 2022, has flatly denied that there'd been an approach and if there was, it would be a 'firm no.'
Boris Johnson
After Matt Hancock's controversial stint last year, IAC head honchos have been keen to reel in some big guns and in the summer it was reported that Johnson had been approached with a mega offer to get in the jungle, one that would dwarf Hancock's £320k. One source told The Mirror: "He’s not looking likely. The truth is he doesn’t need the cash as much as he did before, thanks to his income from speeches and, of course, he still thinks he’s going to stage some sort of political comeback at some stage."
Josie Gibson
Big Brother winner Josie is up for a stint on either of the shows and a decision is said to be very close. "Josie is hugely popular with This Morning viewers and producers were determined to get her," an ITV insider told The Sun. "She is seen as the perfect person for the jungle and will bring her fanbase with her."
Denise Van Outen
No, Denise hasn't already been in the jungle! The TV presenter and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Denise has also been on The Masked Singer and Dancing on Ice. And she's not been shy about wanting to do I'm A Celebrity before she turns 50. Denise celebrated her 49th birthday in May so the clock is ticking.
Talking previously about the possibility of camping with some famous faces, the former Big Breakfast host told The Sun: "I will do it at some point. I think I'm A Celebrity for my 50th birthday would be something nice to do. I am a lot more jungle vibes than castle vibes, to be honest."
Frankie Dettori
The odds seem good on champion jockey Frankie entering the jungle this year. William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: "Presuming this will be his last season in the saddle, we’ve seen plenty of money come in for Frankie Dettori to appear in this year’s edition of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in November."
Danny Cipriani
At the start of August, former rugby badboy and England international, Danny, was named as one of the campmates for this year.
A former boyfriend of Kelly Brook, Katie Price and also was linked to Lindsay Lohan, Cheeky Girl Monica Irimia and television presenter Kirsty Gallacher. If he's in the jungle it'll be an interesting chat around the campfire!
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street favourite, Alan, has been on our TV screens for two decades and now we could see the Tyrone Dobbs actor in the jungle.. .if he signs up!
The Vivienne
Chatting on Lorraine previously about a possible jungle stint, The Vivienne, who earlier this year competed in Dancing on Ice, said: "I’ve never thought about it but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be… Get me to that jungle, what a great life opportunity. I am all for that!"
