THE full I'm A Celebrity 2023 line-up has been revealed, with politicians, influencers and daytime stars being thrown into the nation's most famous camp.
Ant and Dec will welcome the latest stars brave enough to tackle stomach-churning bushtucker trials and terrifying challenges on Sunday November 19.
And this year's show is set to be one of the best yet with twelve top names from the worlds of Westminster, Albert Square and even the MasterChef kitchen.
The famous dozen will soon be diving into camp life and the new set up is like nothing that has come before.
First look pictures at this year's camp have revealed there is even a temple on site complete with spider monument and circular altar.
How this Aztec style architecture will be used remains to be seen, but let's hope there are no campmate scarifies!

TONY BELLEW
Professional boxer Tony hung up his gloves in 2018, but now he'll take on his toughest challenge yet... in the jungle.
The Liverpool born tough guy has Crusierweight, Heavyweight, and Light-Heavyweight titles to his name.
In recent years he has worked as a pundit for the sport since retiring from fighting.
He has also starred on the big screen with roles in boxing flicks Creed and Creed II.

This isn't Tony's first reality TV venture either - last year he endured Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
JAMIE-LYNN SPEARS
Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn will appear in the jungle and is set to spill the beans on her famous sibling.
Bosses are hoping the 32-year-old mum of two will tell all about life with the pop megastar after their huge spat in recent years.
It comes just weeks after the Toxic singer, 41, branded her a "total b****" in her bestselling autobiography.
Britney had lived under a strict conservatorship controlled by her father for 13 years.
NIGEL FARAGE
Former Brexit Party chief, Nigel Farage is this year's big political appointment.
The 59-year-old hammered out a deal that is reported to be worth up to £1million.
I'm A Celeb producers hope Farage will grab the same amount of headlines as shamed ex-Health Secretary Matt Hancock who turned out to be a stand-out contestant.
A TV insider said: “Nigel has been at the top of the wish-list for I’m A Celeb bosses for years.
“They’ve offered him a huge fee as they know he’ll drive up viewing figures. Ant and Dec will love this signing.
“Nigel’s the ultimate Marmite character and won’t hold back in camp discussions.
“It’s a real coup. The casting team has nailed it. It’s shaping up to be a brilliant series.”
NICK PICKARD
Nick, 48, - who is known to millions as Hollyoaks’ long suffering Tony Hutchinson - is leaving soapland behind for Australia’s Gold Coast to join Ant and Dec's reality juggernaut.
A TV source told The Sun: “Tony from Hollyoaks - as Nick will always happily be known as - is an absolute soap legend and a huge signing for I’m A Celeb.
“Soap stars always do brilliantly on the show because they come with a loyal following and they don’t come more down-to-earth and likeable than Nick.
“Of course Hollyoaks was recently moved online by Channel 4 so it comes at a helpful time for the soap too, helping introduce that younger online audience to Nick via I’m A Celeb’s huge reach.”
JOSIE GIBSON
Back in July, The Sun revealed how This Morning anchor Josie, 38, had bagged a bumper jungle deal.
An ITV insider said: “Josie is hugely popular with This Morning viewers and producers were determined to get her.
“She is seen as the perfect person for the jungle as she’s already such a familiar face on ITV and will bring her fanbase with her.
“She’s incredibly down-to-earth and seems to strike a chord with people at home. Plus they’re confident Josie will bring the laughs to I’m A Celebrity, as she already does on This Morning, and is guaranteed to get on with most of the jungle campmates."
Bristol-born Josie won Big Brother 2010 but is now a staple of daytime telly after joining This Morning.
While she began hosting the competitions, in 2021, she became a part-time presenter, filling in at short notice for Holly Willoughby.
FRED SIRIEIX
In September The Sun told how telly foodie Fred Sirieix, 51, was swapping the fancy restaurant world for chowing down on jungle critters.
A TV insider said: “Show bosses hope he’ll be a hit with the ladies watching, which is part of the reason they’ve targeted him.
“Everyone’s really excited that they’re close to signing him up.”
The First Dates maître d’ boasts a six-pack thanks to boxing and would become the latest hunk to show off his ripped body in the jungle shower.
But Fred said last year: “I don’t think I’d do I’m a Celebrity. I wouldn’t be too keen on eating a camel’s anus or something like that.
“I know I eat frogs, I’m French, but at least those frogs are cooked!”
FRANKIE DETTORI
Retired jockey Frankie, 52, is already down under for racing season, and is set to arrive in Brisbane within days.
A source exclusively revealed to The Sun: “Frankie is excited for the jungle but is just worried about who will do his hair while he is there!”
Frankie — known for his “flying dismounts” after race wins — is also famed for his style off the racecourse.
Over the years, the diminutive Italian has sported a Peaky Blinders-style undercut and even tried a bleach blond buzz cut.
NELLA ROSE
Nella, 24, is the youngest contestant to appear in this year's series.
The social media queen has a million followers on TikTok, almost 800,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel and 892,000 on Instagram.
Nella is originally from Belgium but is now based in London.
Bosses are hoping she will connect with millenial audiences and pull in younger viewers to the show.
She has previously hosted Catfish UK on MTV.
DANIELLE HAROLD
Back in September we revealed that Danielle Harold was in talks to appear on I’m A Celebrity.
Fans were heartbroken as her character, Lola Pearce, passed away in May from a terminal brain tumour in a heartbreaking storyline.
The 31-year-old Eastenders actress received huge plaudits and went onto win the gong for Serial Drama Performance at this year's National Television Awards.
A telly source said: "Danielle is at the height of her career and in demand after her moving storyline on EastEnders, but she’s really caught the eye of ITV bosses to appear in the upcoming series of the jungle.
"As well as being a talented actress with a huge fanbase, Danielle has a fun personality with a wicked sense of humour, which makes her the ideal campmate for the show.
SAM THOMPSON
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson is winging his way into camp too.
He first joined the posh reality series in 2013 and he now presents his own Staying Relevant podcast Towie’s Pete Wicks.
The star also fronted the official Love Island podcast, appeared on the spin-off show Aftersun and he won praise for his own Channel 4 documentary on his journey with ADHD.
His girlfriend Zara McDermott was just booted off Strictly Come Dancing.
But sources insist the reality TV favourite’s personality will be a hit in the jungle and it could turn the pair into quite the formidable duo.
Our source said: "Sam is a great signing because he has a huge fan base and a funny, self-deprecating personality.
"While it might put a bit of pressure on his relationship with Zara McDermott, it tops off a huge year for them after her Strictly spell."
MARVIN HUMES
He shot to fame as part of X Factor boyband JLS, and now TV bosses think the Primetime TV host will be be the perfect fit for the jungle.
Marvin, 38, and wife Rochelle Humes, 34, are best known for stints on This Morning but have also presented smash BBC gameshow The Hit List since 2019.
And execs think that the star has broad appeal as a jungle source said: “Marvin is a brilliant signing.
"Not only is he known to fans of The X Factor and fans of JLS, but the audience for The Hit List and This Morning spans from kids right through older viewers.
"And with Rochelle’s backing, he’s got a ready made fan base.
"He’ll have lots of showbiz stories to tell, too, from his 15 years in the limelight.”
The source added: "The fact he’s remained a bit of a pin-up doesn’t hurt, either, and bosses hope he’ll make use of the jungle shower!"
GRACE DENT
MasterChef guest judge Grace Dent is to take part in I’m A Celeb this year — despite once speaking about the show in less than glowing terms.
The TV food critic, 50, branded the series “a puerile venture into starvation, televised constipation and animal cruelty, abbreviated by ads for Iceland £1 curries".
However, it seems she has had second thoughts about the show and is now set to appear in the jungle herself.

An insider told The Sun: “Masterchef fans know Grace for her withering put-downs of contestants’ food and disdain for anything less than stellar cooking.
“But she’ll be eating humble pie in the jungle, surviving on rice and beans and taking part in Bushtucker trials.”
