The second series of I'm A Celebrity All Stars is about to hit our screens, and fans are buzzing with excitement as the contestants have been spotted together in South Africa for the first time. Mark your calendars – the show kicks off on April 6, promising a wild ride with some of your favorite stars.
This year's lineup is a blend of iconic figures and fresh faces. Soap opera legend Beverley Callard, Olympian Sir Mo Farah, and former jungle royalty Harry Redknapp and Scarlett Moffatt are returning for another shot at glory. Joining them are celebrities seeking redemption, like those who previously left the show early.
Beverley Callard, known for her role as Liz McDonald in Coronation Street, credits her 2020 I'm A Celebrity stint with boosting her confidence. "Without sounding big-headed, because people kept telling me they loved me and how down to earth I was, it gave me confidence," she shared. Despite her soap opera fame, she doesn't consider herself a contender for the legend title.
Scarlett Moffatt, the 2016 Queen of the Jungle, admits she's nervous but thrilled to return. "It's lovely to be able to show my little boy what I do as a job," she said, embracing the chance for some personal downtime.
Seann Walsh, who joined the 2022 series as a latecomer, credits the show with reviving his stand-up career. "It didn't change me as a person, but it changed my life in a very positive way," he confessed.
David Haye, who finished third in 2012, is looking forward to reconnecting with nature. "I really enjoyed the connection with mother nature," he said, unfazed by the prospect of creepy crawlies.
Sinitta hopes her return will help her conquer her lifelong phobias. "I'm hoping the South African jungle will cure me of my phobias," she revealed.
Sir Mo Farah is embracing the opportunity to show a different side of himself now that he's retired from athletics. "I've got nothing to prove and I can be more open," he said.
The adventure wouldn't be complete without some surprise entries. Latecomers Gemma Collins, Harry Redknapp, Craig Charles, and Jimmy Bullard will join the jungle fun, adding even more excitement to this star-studded lineup.
I'm A Celebrity...South Africa kicks off on Easter Monday at 9pm on ITV1. Get ready for an unforgettable season filled with laughter, challenges, and maybe even a few tears.
