With four months to go until the expected airdate, speculation is rife about this year's release date. I am a celebrity… Get Me Out of Here line-up. And after the shocking news of his split with Molly-Mae Haag, Tommy Anger is at the top of the list.
Last year's series of the ITV reality competition saw people like Sam ThompsonFred Sirieix, Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage enter the Australian jungle.
Made in Chelsea star Sam, 31, emerged as the king of the jungle, ending the 23rd season of the show, which has been on air since December 2023.
The next series will air in November 2024. This year's celebrities are in talks with ITV, sign the deal and pack their bags to head to the jungle.
Potential candidates include the usual array of reality TV stars, soap opera actors and politicians. Well, after the complete Tory elimination on July 4there will be many unemployed MPs who want to make a quick buck and save face.
Below is a rundown of Metro.co.uk's potential I'm A Celebrity 2024 campmates.
Tommy Anger
After it was announced that Love Island stars Tommy and Molly-Mae have split, the chance is being seized for the boxer to appear on another ITV show.
According to the latest odds from Ladbrokes, Tommy is 4/1 to appear in the next series. Alex Apati from Ladbrokes said: 'Reality TV bosses will undoubtedly be queuing up to snap up either Molly-Mae or Tommy following their shock split, and the odds suggest the latter could well end up in the jungle later this year.'
When Tommy announced his split from Molly-Mae, he said: I am sad to share that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship.
'The past five years have led to the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Bambi, and I will be forever grateful to Molly for making me a father. Bambi is our priority.
“Please respect our privacy and the privacy of our families as we work through this difficult time.”
Zara McDermott
Rumours are rife that she has split with her long-term partner Sam Thompson, who won I'm A Celebrity last year. But could she make an appearance in the jungle herself?
The 27-year-old Made In Chelsea star and former Strictly contestant has previously spoken about the possibility of heading into the jungle, saying: 'Who knows, you never know what's going to happen,' she said during an interview on Radio 2.
“I don't know if I could watch his coronation. How could I ever watch it?” she admitted, talking about Sam's victory.
Helen Worth
Coronation Street icon Helen Worth, 73, is set to be very busy soon as she steps down as Gail Platt.
After living in Weatherfield for fifty years, bookmakers have calculated the odds on Helen's next move, suggesting the actress will appear on Strictly or Im a Celeb in the future.
The Sun reports that the odds of her heading to Australia are 10/1, with Strictly and Celebrity Big Brother also being considered.
Richard Gadd
Baby Reindeer creator and star Richard Gadd, 35, is tipped to make the move to reality TV, with OLD reports that there are 6/1 odds on appearing on I'm A Celebrity or Strictly this year.
An expert has warned that Richard should not enter the jungleand said: 'Gadd and Netflix are now locked in legal trouble over Baby Reindeer and the way the series is portrayed as a true story.
“I'm a Celebrity always contains controversial, off-the-cuff remarks and no matter how hard he tries, Gadd won't be able to dodge questions from his famous jungle companions,” said Andy Barr, co-founder and head of a digital PR agency. 10 Yetis told Metro.co.uk.
Giovanni Pernice
Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice, 33, has had a tough year since the 2023 Strictly controversy. He dropped out of the competition after partner Amanda Abbington decided to pull out, but has suddenly found himself facing a PR storm amid claims of a feud with Strictly and accusations of bullying.
ITV are reportedly determined to secure Giovanni for this year's I'm A Celeb.
A source said The Sun: 'Giovanni would be perfect for the jungle. The bosses at ITV have wanted him for years and now he's finally free. Everyone is desperate to have him on board – he'd be ideal for those jungle showers.'
Philip Schofield
Rumours are rife that the disgraced 62-year-old This Morning presenter is planning to return to TV.
Hints emerged that Phillip could appear on I'm A Celebrity this year when he was spotted laughing and joking during a dinner with presenter Dec Donnelly earlier this year.
A source said OK! of Phillip's possible plans, saying: 'Phillip hasn't been the same since he's been off the telly. It's what he's done all his life and all he's ever wanted to do. Ant and Dec are said to be keen to get him on I'm A Celeb.'
The entire Tory cabinet
The bloodbath of this election night saw 11 former cabinet members lose their seats, including Jacob Rees-Mogg, former Prime Minister Liz Truss and future leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt.
Given the success of both Nigel Farage and Matt Hancock on the show – not to mention the headline-grabbing news it generated for ITV – many now-sacked politicians may well be heading for the jungle.
Under these names is Suella Bravermanwho somehow managed to keep her seat, but was already rumored to be planning to move to Australia as early as March of this year. It's certainly a change from looking for flights to Rwanda.
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford was rumoured to have appeared in the jungle last year, before instead appearing as a guest on the BBC's Celebrity Race Across the World.
However, he has shown interest in going to the camp, saying The Mirror: 'Of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle the most.'
Will Alex's wish come true this year?
