Liz Truss
Could ex-prime minister Liz Truss be heading downhill? She certainly wouldn’t be the first politician to enter the jungle and try her hand at the Bushtucker trials. What’s morei’m a celebrity isn’t afraid to inject a bit of controversy into his line-up after bringing former health secretary Matt Hancock into the fold last year.

Olivia Atwood
Poor Olivia was so close to realizing her jungle dream last year, but unfortunately had to pull out just days after falling ill. Because of that, we think it’s only fair that the former Love Island finalist gets a second chance and it seems bosses are reportedly keen to do just that. Fingers crossed!
Can Olivia return to the jungle?
Alan Halsall
Coronation star Alan Halsall is reportedly due to fly to Australia at the end of the year and we think he would make a great addition to the cast. If the Tyrone Dobbs actor does indeed join the series, he will follow in the footsteps of his co-stars Simon Gregson and Andy Whyment.

Vivienne
Although Vivienne had a lot of experience in the reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race UK the winner and appearing in the Dancing on icestar said she would like to continue I’m a celebrity! Talk further Lorraine of going to the jungle, the star said: “I’ve never thought about it, but what an absolutely amazing opportunity it would be… Take me to that jungle, what a great opportunity of a lifetime. I’m all for it!”
Denise Van Outen
Denise previously said she might do I’m A Celebrity for her 50th birthday, and guess what? The star turned 49 in May, which means she could participate this year before the big 5-0 in 2024! Speaking to The Sun while the show was being filmed in Wales, she explained: “I’ll do it at some point. I think it would be nice to be a celebrity for my 50th birthday. To be honest, I’m much more of a jungle vibe than a castle vibe.”

Tom Holland
We can dream, right? While he may be a little busy filming blockbusters, Spider-Man Tom himself has said he’d “love” to join the jungle on I’m a Celebrity, telling LadBible: “I’d be good in small spaces and good at athletics challenges.” However, he admitted that he has a short temper and could probably “really irritate some people out there” and that his dietary challenges would be “difficult”. Same Tom, same.
Judy Love
Judi revealed that she did not take part in the 2022 version of the series in her OK! Column, writing: “I’m all for trying new things, but I’m going to need a lot of hypnotherapy before I agree to it… I’m most excited about the show returning to Australia after so long – it’s going to be a lot of fun to see how the contestants cope with spiders, crocodiles and creepy crawlies!” Who knows, maybe 2023 will be her year to face some fears!

Phil Taylor
Back in 2017, darts champion Phil was open about wanting to take part in the show, telling the Mirror: “I’d like to do the jungle – I’m not so sure about Strictly, although it would be good for me and get me fit… But if they ask me to do the jungle, and it fits into my schedule, I’d love to try it.” What are you waiting for, ITV?!
Will Mellor
After his stunner on Strictly, can Will visit the jungle next? Interview with HELLO! In 2021, Will’s close friend and fellow podcaster Ralf Little revealed that the pair had discussed the matter, explaining: “Will [Mellor] and I talked about it on the podcast and… [he] He said [he’d go on] I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! I said, ‘Really?’
“Will said, ‘It’s the biggest, and why not?’ So I said I’d be quite interested in Ice Dancing, just for the fact that you’re learning a whole new skill. You come in not knowing how to ice skate, and you come out knowing how to do triple axels or whatever they have. So, let’s just say right now, I don’t have any particular plans to do that, but never say never.”
