After much speculation, former England rugby player Mike Tindall is officially heading into the jungle! The sportsman, who is married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara, touched down in Brisbane last week ahead of his stint on the show.

Mike opened up about how he was feeling about taking part: "It is sinking in now that I am taking part. I am ready to rumble! I have been asked on numerous occasions to take part. The timing was right this year and Hask (James Haskell) did the show and he had been talking about it." Go and smash it, Mike!

Babatunde Aleshe

Stand-up comedian Babatunde Aleshe will be bringing the jokes to the jungle. The comic, who is also known for his regular stints on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside fellow stand-up star Mo Gilligan, "I am going to see what happens but I know I will be doing a lot of screaming for sure!

"I am not looking forward to any trials but in terms of the one I am dreading the most, I saw one where someone was lying in a box and they put things into the box like snakes and mice. Now that would freak me out. I think I will lose it!"

Boy George

Culture Club legend Boy George is also gearing up for a stint in the Australian jungle and we can't wait to see him in action. The singer, whose hit songs Karma Chameleon and Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? secured him as an 80s icon, said to ITV: "I am bored of being iconic in the corner and if you want to compete in the world then being part of telly is part of that.

"This is the biggest show on TV and that is why I am doing it. And now I have made the decision, I don't want to focus too much on what the experience might be like, but my intention is it is going to be amazing."

Jill Scott

A Lioness is heading into the jungle! England footballer Jill Scott was confirmed on Thursday as the fifth celebrity joining the line-up on this year's I'm a Celebrity.

The football star, who was pictured smiling as she walked through Brisbane airport, told ITV: "I am intrigued as to how I will react in the trials. I don't like rats or snakes and if I had to be underground that would be scary. That is literally like being buried alive! But I am looking forward to it all and meeting new people. I will help people if they are having a bad day."

Owen Warner

Fellow soap actor Owen Warner was the fourth celebrity named in the show's line-up after he was pictured arriving in Australia on Wednesday.

The actor, who is known for playing Romeo Nightingale in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, explained: "I want to enjoy everything about it.

Former Love Island finalist Olivia Atwood was the second celebrity pictured arriving at Brisbane airport last week. Olivia told ITV what she was looking forward to: "One of the things that will be nice will be to show a different side to me.
