I'm A Celebrity is gearing up for its grand launch on Sunday night, promising three weeks of jungle trials and tribulations for ten brave celebrities. This year's star-studded cast includes dance sensation Oti Mabuse, Coronation Street 's very own Alan Halsall, opinionated Loose Women panellist Jane Moore, radio personality Dean McCullough, N-Dubz's Tulisa Contostavlos, and the ever-joyous Melvin Odoom. Joining them in the Aussie wilderness are Coleen Rooney, boxing legend Barry McGuigan, GK Barry, and McFly's heartthrob Danny Jones.
The season opener will divide the celebs into two groups, starting with a posh meetup at a lavish poolside villa where Strictly alumnus Oti will be first to arrive, soon accompanied by N-Dubz icon Tulisa. Radio 1's Dean joins the duo, embracing them with a nervous hug as he confesses: "I'm shaking." They're soon joined by Loose Women star Jane, before pop star Danny completes the group.
Ant and Dec, never ones for understatement, make their blockbuster entrance by helicopter, setting the scene in front of the astonished stars. The hosts announce an adrenaline-pumping race is about to kick off, deciding the camp's inaugural leaders, culminating in an exhilarating skydiving challenge. Once back on terra firma, it's a fierce scramble as celebs pair up, aiming to secure the coveted 'first leader' title, complete with luxurious perks including a stay at the Leaders' Lodge and immunity from the first Bushtucker trial.
It's all-out war right from the st.
