Names of who is heading for the castle are already flying around, with a mixture of musicians, actors and reality stars suggested.
We have pulled together the list of the latest celebs rumoured to be taking part this year.
Olivia Attwood
The 30-year-old Love Island and TOWIE star has always made it clear that she would love to go on I’m a Celeb, so it may be no surprise that she is one rumoured to join.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com, she said: “I’d love to do the jungle, I’d give Dancing on Ice a go, although it does scare me. I’m a bit of a baby, so I don’t like getting hurt. I feel like the minute I fall over once, I’d be done.
“I know it sounds dramatic, but I’m just a bit like that. For me, the jungle is less scary. So I’d love to do the jungle.”
While the show will not be taking place in the jungle, her odds for the castle are around 2/1.

A source said: “Adam was a big target for the casting team — he is a soap legend and is certain to be a huge hit with fans.
“But they knew they might have their work cut out because he has been quite reticent to do interviews or reality TV shows in recent years.
“When you consider how long he has been a household name, he has only agreed to a handful of TV appearances outside of Albert Square."
Adam's odds are 9/1 to enter the castle.
Richard Madeley
One of Good Morning Britain's hosts, Richard Madeley is rumoured to have accepted a pretty hefty deal to join the I'm a Celeb crew.
A TV insider claimed: “Richard’s been asked year after year but the timing has never been right. But now, finally, he’s said “Yes”.

Check out things to do:
They added: “He’s a fantastic coup and a nailed-on fan favourite. Once you wind him up, off he goes — he will make for castle gold.”

Arlene Phillips
Known best for her judging on Strictly Come Dancing, Arlene Phillips is also rumoured to be heading for the castle.
If true, the 78-year-old would be the oldest ever contestant on I’m a Celebrity.
She would also be the first Dame to grace the show too.
A source told The Mirror: “Arlene is strong and tough and her energy is boundless.
“No doubt she’ll have the group dancing around the campfire in a bid to beat the cold and keep morale high. Should be fun.”
Sam Aston
Sam Aston who plays Chesney Brown on Coronation Street has reportedly dropped hints he will join the castle to OK! Magazine.
He said: “Jennie [McAlpine] and Andy [Whyment] did the jungle and both of them said it’s the experience of a lifetime. If I was offered it I would be open to the idea and open to the extra pennies!
“The idea of going to Australia and not having any contact whatsoever with my family makes me quite uncomfortable. It probably sounds quite soft as a lot of people work away, but I’ve never had to. That side of it would be tough.
“I also don’t really want to be eating pig’s testicles!”
Other soap favourites including Lucy Fallon and Simon Gregson are also rumoured to be on the show this year however.
Jade Thirlwall
Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall is another celeb thought to be taking on I’m a Celeb this year.
