The rumour mill has gone into overdrive on who will appear on this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
Gemma Collins has been hotly tipped to return after quitting the jungle last time she appeared and vowing she would be back to “show people what I can do.”
But now the TOWIE star has confirmed she WON’T be making her comeback just yet.
Speaking on the red carpet at the ITV gala last night, she told Good Morning Britain: “You never know, next year I might be in there but not this year.”
Meanwhile she also spoke of that fall at the Teen Awards, saying she has put it behind her and can laugh about it now.
Gemma’s confirmation comes after her spokesman previously denied she would reappear on I’m A Celeb.
She was last in the jungle in 2014 and chose to leave after a short stint because she was struggling to cope.
It was later revealed shortly before her time on the show she had been physically attacked by an ex-boyfriend, and she was still feeling mentally and physically scarred by the domestic abuse.
Thankfully, that is all now behind the 36-year-old so she said she would love to return to the show another year when she can be her usual bubbly self.

She fuelled rumours it could be this year after she shared a picture of herself all packed up and ready to go somewhere three days ago on Instagram.
“Always on the move,” she wrote of the snap of her designer luggage, which prompted her fans to speculate if she was packed for I’m A Celeb.
But it seems her bags aren’t bound down under – if she’s telling the truth!
We can never be sure as the celebs who will be on the show are sworn to secrecy until their appearance is officially announced by ITV.
They’ve promised to disclose the news next week ahead of the show’s return on Sunday 19 November.
Other rumoured contestants include tennis player Boris Becker, Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas and Coronation Street’s Jennie McAlpine.

On the red carpet at last night’s ITV Gala, there was one celeb everyone wanted to see in the line-up – Piers Morgan!
But the GMB host has already said he’s turned down huge sums of money to appear on the show as he has no desire to “eat bugs while being laughed at by Ant and Dec.” Shame!
