Season 5 of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here begins on 10 tomorrow.
Julia Morris & Dr. Chris Brown return to host the ITV Studios Australia series in South Africa.
10 has so far former Goggleboxers Angie Kent and Yvie Jones as the first 2 participants (both of whom will be critiqued by their ex-cast mates.
Angie said: “I am a massive fan of watching celebrities do absurd things in the jungle but I never thought I would be one of those people doing it. I cannot wait to get up close and personal with Lady JMO and Dr Chris!”
Yvie said: “I cannot believe we have spent four seasons watching, laughing and commentating on this show from inside our living room and now we will be the ones being laughed at!”
The latest contestant clue is a “sexy reality star is single and definitely ready to mingle…No stranger to dating shows, will this singleton strike up a jungle romance?”
They join the ex-Goggleboxers plus “a newsreader, a TV host, TV presenter, comedian, famous foodie, a gossip guru, two controversial politicians and a footy legend.”
This year there is a format twist coming, rumoured to involve Immunity Challenges.
Scott Tweedie also extends his jungle web videos to a new 7pm Saturday night edition, “Saturday Schoolies” involving various games.
The action kicks off Live 7:30pm Sunday on 10.
Update: As rumoured Sam Dastyari, Jacqui Lambie, Richard Reid & Dermott Brereton are also confirmed.

There are probably a lot of people that could go in…but I am guessing it is just finding someone who will go in….
So far, none of the names attract me to the show, some are even repellent. Hopefully the unnamed ones will be better.
To me, just getting on the show ,promotes them to ‘celebrity’ . We just hope they are entertaining when they are ‘real’. I wonder if anyone knows about the Freddie Flintoff water trick. Put a hidden camera on the water cooler.
so looks like maybe no international celeb this year?? maybe they can’t afford it coz they still paying off Tom Arnolds fee lol. Without someone more interesting this years lineup looks pretty damn dull tbh. Not saying Aussies aren’t interesting, but someone like a Maureen McCormick, Tiffany or Paul Burrell brings more star power & celeb goss to the show. And really, not much ‘celebrity’ to reality tv stars.
Pamela Anderson will be on I’m A Celebrity this year.
Source? Or were you trying to be funny? I seriously doubt it after the Big Brother fiasco….
I love the show but are over the ads, particularly on Tenplay. But Nine are just as bad. Watch anything on 9Now and every ad break, which you cannot skip, are the same ones over and over.
News Corp has Dermott Brereton as the AFL star
And the also include Jacqui Lambie, Sam Dastyari, Justin Lacko, Ajay Rochester, Justine Schofield and Richard Reid.
Natasha Exelby is the axed newsreader i believe.
Not a veteran and I don’t know her war zone experience. Doesn’t add up to me. Negus perhaps.
She did cover war in Syria a few years ago as a foreign correspondent after her being dumped on Ten’s Wake Up.
I know it’s all for tv ratings but really Australia has some better talent then these two it’s more like we can’t find celebs who wants a working holiday to Africa.
It is fun trying to guess who is going into the jungle, but I will be over it in a couple of weeks when there are other options available.
I think it’s only on for 4 weeks this year, they have shortened the season this year from 6 weeks
when will the celebrities turn up cause now of these people are
Sydney Morning Herald just published a story about Sam Dastyari going in to the jungle.
And Ajay Rochester.
Think they are trying to spoil the surprises
Celebrity is word often abused these days….
I think Angie and Yvie will be good, they really play of each other really well. Just wish Gogglebox was on too…
Is it ironic that a show about ‘ordinary’ people is now spawning ‘celebrities’ itself. Their promo is the worst thing I have ever seen.
I agree. Those women are absolutely appalling, which is why the show will rate well. It seems to be the trend, the more obnoxious the contestants the better.
I’m not sure what’s appalling about them. They are not rude to other people, mean to anyone etc. They are not like the contestants on MKR.
I thought it was pretty harsh.
I actually like them on gogglebox, is not them that’s appalling it’s the promos every single ad break that’s appalling. I’m not sure why 10 think that in an hour show we need to be told 6 times that they are going into the jungle. It’s like they asked them to behave in the most obnoxious way possible when normal ever not like that at all.
You have to remember that a Gogglebox participant won the UK version 2 years ago, so anything is possible.
