The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! line-up has finally been confirmed - but two more stars will enter the jungle at a later date.
The 2024 contest will see Irish boxing champion Barry McGuigan, Coleen Rooney, Tulisa Contostavlos, Danny Jones and others compete to try and win the crown as king or queen of the jungle.
But two other stars are expected to drop into the camp to try and win the crown themselves - with Irish Love Island star Maura Higgins and musician Reverend Richard Coles tipped to complete the line-up, according to The Sun.

The long-running ITV celebrity popularity contest is known for adding two more stars to the show roughly a week into the contest. The core cast of stars are already in Australia and will take part in the launch show that is due to air on ITV1 at 9pm on Sunday 17 November.
There had already been rumours that Maura, 33, and Reverend Coles - who fans may also recognise from competing on Strictly Come Dancing in the past - were due to take part. Now that the initial line-up has been confirmed, it is expected that the Love Island beauty and 62-year-old priest Reverend Coles will join the group soon after.
On Monday evening, ITV finally confirmed the long-rumoured line-up for the upcoming new season of the show - which will be the 24th of the long-running series. Coleen was unmasked as one of the stars - following reports she will earn over £1.5 million for taking part in the show.
But she hinted ITV could even sign up her husband to take part in the show in the future - if they are able to find space in his busy works schedule. She explained he is too busy acting as the head coach of EFL Championship club Plymouth Argyle to be on the show. Before entering the jungle, Coleen said: "If he had time, he’d have a go."
She continued: "I am not saying he would go in, but he wouldn’t be completely put off. I haven’t spoken about it with my younger two boys as not many know, but my eldest son told me: ‘Yeah go for it’. My second one was a bit more emotional. He thought about me being away for a long length of time, but hopefully that will pass. My parents are happy too that I’m doing something for me."
Coleen also revealed the she can rest easy knowing Wayne will be rooting for her from home. She said: "Wayne is supportive. He did say, ‘You know you are going to be on camera 24/7?’ but I said, ‘Yeah that’s the show!’. He is fine with it all.” The 24th season of ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is due to begin airing on on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Play on Sunday 17 November 2024 at 9pm.
