I’m A Celebrity All Star line-up
Amir Khan
Former professional boxing champion Amir Khan is returning to I’m A Celebrity after his stint Down Under in 2017.
He and radio presenter Iain Lee caused a stir when they ate their prize of strawberries and cream following a Dingo Dollar Challenge and lied about winning to their campmates.
Talking about Strawberry Gate, Amir said: “I don’t regret one bit what I did. I was starving at the time and it was fun and boisterous!”
Helen Flanagan
Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan found her first experience in the jungle very difficult in 2012, with plenty of screaming and unfinished challenges.
Helen believes she’ll do better this time around, now knowing what she’s letting herself in for.
She said: “It’s going to be different. I was only 22 back then and I am 32 now.
“I have grown up a lot and I’ve had three children and I’ve gone through three labours!
“I won’t not finish the trials because my mindset will be very different this time around.”
Jordan Banjo
Jordan Banjo rose to fame on Britain’s Got Talent when he and the rest of Diversity won the show in 2009.
He joined the cast of I’m A Celebrity 2016 and now has his eyes set on the prize of being crowned the All-Star winner.
Jordan said: “Anybody who goes on something and says they don’t want to win is a liar.
“To win would be nice but to go back is a win too. You grow up watching I’m A Celebrity and there are so many people I would like to be with in the camp.”
Carol Vorderman
Countdown star and TV presenter Carol Vorderman is back and will be reunited with her former campmate Jordan who she appeared alongside seven years ago.
The 62-year-old says the show changed her, pushing her to buy a house in Wales at the time.
She said: “You get to a point in life where you think everything is all a bonus. You can’t say, ‘I will do that in 20 years’ time’.
“It made me realise that you need to live in the now. I want to say a big ‘thank you’ to Ant & Dec when I see them in South Africa and I can’t wait to take part in this new series.”
Paul Burrell
Former royal butler Paul Burrell was the runner-up in the 2004 series of I’m A Celebrity, being pipped to the post by singer Kerry Katona.
His TV career launched as a result of the jungle, with people knowing little about Paul before entering the show, bar him previously working for Princess Diana.
“I’m A Celebrity made me a household name and I can remember going to my local supermarket to get the groceries and being mobbed,” he said.
“I was floored next to the frozen peas! Now people are going to get a whole load of me all over again!”

Fatima Whitbread
Fans will remember Olympian Fatima Whitbread on I’m A Celebrity in 2011 after a cockroach got stuck up her nose in a Bushtucker Trial.
She commented: “People still come up and chat about the cockroach.
“And every time I’m A Celebrity comes out, the cockroach incident gets aired quite a bit!
“Most children remember me for the cockroach and their parents remember me for throwing a javelin!”
Phil Tufnell
I’m A Celebrity 2003 winner and ex-England cricketer Phil Tufnell is returning to the show a decade after being crowned King of the Jungle.
When he was asked to take part again, Phil couldn’t have said yes quick enough, excited for the challenges ahead.
He said: “I was very brave back then but what I do know is the trials don’t half make you feel that you are alive!
“The heart starts pumping and it is good to challenge yourself.
“I can still remember feeling very proud of myself after I’d completed the trials. You do get a buzz and you’ve got to throw yourself into it all.
“I will go with a smile on my face and hopefully I will enjoy it as much as I did last time.”
Shaun Ryder
Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder was the runner-up in 2010 and jokes that his main memories from the show were “eating a lot of penises, testicles and eyeballs”.
“I could have stayed another year in Australia”, Shaun said.
“I loved living outside in the camp and I had a proper laugh with my fellow celebrities.
“I know going to South Africa will be a great adventure. I can’t wait to do it.”
Janice Dickinson
Fiery American model Janice Dickinson is back and ready to give I’m A Celebrity her all again after she starred in the Australian version in 2007.
Talking about the trials, she said: “I wasn’t fearless doing the trials in Australia but I always gave it a good shot except when they wanted me to drink something.
“I said no way, yuck, I can’t eat or drink something I can’t stomach, yuck… there are no skills for doing any trial, they are all evil.”
It has been confirmed there will be more celebrities joining midway through the show.
So far, there are rumours ex-constants Dean Gaffney, Myleene Klass and Gillian McKeith could be returning.
I’m A Celebrity All-Stars starts on Monday, April 24, at 9pm on ITV.
