I’m A Celebrity 2023: Rumoured wild cards set to join jungle lineup

Which of these celebrities would you like to see in the jungle?

They’ve already released the names of the ten famous faces who are getting ready to enter the Australian jungle for this year’s I’m A Celebrity.

And for anyone thinking it’s not much of an impressive list, fear not – we can usually rely on at least a couple of exciting Wild Card campmates to spice things up.

Topping the rumours list this year are former flames Charlotte Crosby and Stephen Bear – that’d certainly make sparks fly around the campfire!

The former couple are both veteran reality TV stars and usually cause drama wherever they go.

Bookies Betfair have got them at odds of 9/4 and 10/1 respectively to enter the camp at some point during this year’s series.

And there’s a whole host of other entertaining names being tipped to join the jungle.

Controversial columnist Katie Hopkins is on the list, along with Love Island stars Jonny Mitchell and ‘Muggy’ Mike Thalassitis.

TOWIE stars Lauren Goodger and Megan McKenna both look like good bets, as does rugby player turned Strictly star Ben Cohen.

Former Corrie actor Ryan Thomas is already Down Under, as he finishes filming a guest role on Neighbours.

Other reality veterans such as James Jordan, Honey G, Calum Best and Spencer Matthews have also made the bookies’ lists.

But we suspect many viewers will be hoping that one rumour in particular is true – that former campmate Gemma Collins could be making a return.

The TOWIE star lasted just three days on her first crack at it back in 2014, famously crying and having a meltdown most of the way through.

She’d certainly liven things up if she went back in.
