It is almost that time of the year when 12 fresh-faced celebrities head down under to see if they've got what it takes in the jungle. 

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is returning this month with ITV confirming the series will kick off on Monday 16th November at 9pm.

And Wayne Rooney is reportedly leading the line-up alongside Gavin & Stacey's Joanna Page. 

Comedian Leigh Francis is also said to be joining the cast alongside Victoria's Secret Angel Leomie Anderson and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson. 

See the full line-up of stars battling it out to be the next king or queen of the jungle. 

Wayne Rooney

Following in the footsteps of his wife Coleen who appeared on the show two years ago, Wayne is set to have bagged the show's biggest fee in its 24-year history. 

Bosses have reportedly offered the former footballer more than Coleen, 40, who made a record-breaking £1.5million for her jungle stint two years ago. 

Last year, Wayne spoke about how he wanted to appear on I'm A Celebrity.

He said: '[I'm A Celebrity] is something I would never say no to, of course. I think I said on the aftershow when Coleen was in the jungle, that was the one we've always watched and the one we both said if there was anything we'd do it'd be that.

'So, you never know in the future, but I've got other things I'm looking at at the minute.'

Joanna Page

Joanna Page is best known for her role as Stacey in the hit BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey. 

However she will be going somewhere far more exotic than Barry Island as she heads to the Australian jungle, according to the Sun. 

Swapping her mum Gwen's omelettes for the kangaroo testicles, sources of the show are hoping that this will give viewers the chance to 'get to know the real Joanna'. 

They said: 'She has confided in friends that she can’t wait to take part and wants to go on and make her children proud.'

Leigh Francis  

Leigh Francis is also joining the line-up after being labelled hosts Ant and Dec's 'dream signing'.

During an appearance on the presenting duo's Hanging Out with Ant and Dec podcast, Ant said: 'Leigh, come on! This is our plea to you. Get in the jungle. You know you want to. It's a lot of fun, and we'll be there.'

Dec said: 'If we got Leigh Francis in the jungle... and we had to stand by and watch him do a trial, let's try and make that happen.' 

They said that his appearance would be 'a full circle moment' after Leigh did a sketch on The Keith Lemon Sketch Show a decade ago, in which he and actor Adam Booth were dressed up to look like Ant and Dec.

And it seems their plea worked! 

Leomie Anderson  

The supermodel made history in 2019 by becoming the first black British model to be named an Angel for the iconic lingerie brand.

And now, she is preparing to swap the catwalk for the jungle after quitting her role as host of the BBC make-up series Glow Up.

She previously starred on Bear Grylls' Celebrity Bear Hunt on Netflix in Costa Rica. 

But after becoming the first star to be eliminated, she will be hoping for better luck in the I'm A Celeb camp. 

Ricky Wilson 

He's best known for belting out his hit tracks Ruby and I Predict A Riot as the frontman of the Kaiser Chiefs. 

And Ricky Wilson will be sure to bring the entertainment factor to the camp as he swaps the tour bus for a jungle hammock. 

The singer has reportedly been on ITV bosses' list for years but he has always declined the offer. 

This year though he is ready to give the show his best shot.   

AJ Odudu 

She's been in the gym training for her appearance on the Celebrity Gladiator Special later this year.

However the AJ Odudu will also be hoping her new fitness regime has prepared her for the jungle as she takes on I'm A Celeb. 

The Big Brother presenter faced a career setback earlier this year as her hours on the show with Will Best were drastically cut. 

But luckily it left her free to fly to Australia.  

Chloe Burrows 

Chloe Burrows shot to fame on Love Island back in 2021, and now hosts her own podcast and a radio show on KISS Breakfast.

And Chloe Burrows will be following in the footsteps of fellow Love Island alum Maura Higgins who starred on the show in 2024. 

Her signing also follows the huge successes of fellow influencers Angry Ginge, who was crowned King Of The Jungle last year, and GK Barry.

Chloe has also appeared on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Scared of the Dark and Celebs Go Dating – so she isn't afraid to throw herself into things. 

Ade Adepitan

He shot to fame as a star of the Team GB wheelchair basketball team and won a bronze medal at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens, Greece before embracing a new career in TV.

And Ade Adepitan will be the first wheelchair user in the show's 24-year history. 

ITV bosses are said to be keen to have Ade join the show and will adapt the camp to make living there accessible for him. 

Ade lost the use of his left leg after contracting polio when he was a baby.

Mariella Frostrup 

She married her second husband in the Panama jungle. 

And Mariella Frostrup will be hoping to make lasting memories once again as she joins this year's line-up. 

Known best for her appearances on Loose Women, Mariella's signing has excited bosses as she 'isn't the sort of character you necessarily see on the show'. 

Claire Sweeney 

Claire rose to fame as Lindsey Corkhill in the Channel 4 soap Brookside. 

Decades later, she enjoyed a high-profile return to serial drama on Coronation Street for three years, starring as Cassie Plummer.

And luckily there is a gap in Claire's Corrie schedule after she stepped back from the soap in August. 

Her on-screen son Tyrone Dobbs, played by Alan Halsall, took on the jungle in 2024 – so Claire will be sure to have asked for some tips. 

Sharky

Sharky, whose real name is Sharmarke Mohamud, boasts an impressive 2.3million followers on TikTok after starting out on YouTube. 

Hoping he will pull in the younger viewers and replicate the success of AngryGinge, bosses are excited to have him join the jungle. 

Jack Skipper 

Comedian Jack Skipper completes this year's line-up as he follows the many comedians to have taken part in I'm A Celeb. 

The star is a hit over on TikTok and Instagram and he has spent years working in the comedy circuit. 

ITV representatives confirmed that names are just speculation and the official I’m A Celebrity campmates will be announced closer to the show's launch.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! starts Monday 16th November at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX & STV Player. 

The Alexander brothers have been enjoying life at a New York City federal detention center where they've been held since early 2025.

So much so, in fact, that they have asked to stay there.

Last week, all three were sentenced to 30 years each in federal prison after a jury found them guilty in March of sex trafficking offenses, in a scheme in which they drugged and raped women over more than a decade. All three continue to deny wrongdoing.

After sentencing, inmates are normally moved from facilities like the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), which mainly hold people awaiting trial or sentencing, to more permanent prisons.

But in an October 30 court filing, lawyers for the three brothers – twins Oren and Alon, 39, and Tal, 40 – urged the judge to keep them at MDC during their appeals process, which could take years. The judge had already refused the request at sentencing on October 27.

In the filing, defense attorney Deanna Paul asked the judge to reconsider, citing 'unique circumstances'. She argued that most of the issues on appeal affect all three brothers and that their lawyers need to be able to meet with them together.

Judge Valerie Caproni denied the request again on November 2, noting that they would have 60 to 90 days before being transferred. She bluntly told the attorney to 'make efficient use of the time'.

But sources close to the brothers have described their conditions and treatment at MDC to the Daily Mail – and it suggests there may be other reasons they want to stay put.

Rabbi Chaim Pollack, a prison chaplain who sees the siblings every other day, said the brothers had made friends with around 30 other Jewish inmates who eat and pray together.

'It is a community and they all look out for each other. They have Shabbos [the Jewish Sabbath] meals together and go to services. There is a very tight bond,' Pollack said.

The group gathers twice a week for services in the prison's chapel.

'Usually on Sundays there's religious services, there's a rabbi coming in, and Thursdays also,' Pollack said. 'All the Jews are getting together. It's like a two-hour service.'

Pollack was introduced to the brothers by Oren's cellmate, David Motovich, a convicted fraudster who ran a multi-million-dollar check-cashing scheme.

'I am usually in MDC from 9am to 3.30pm. I usually see a whole slew of people. Sometimes, I see the brothers exclusively. I usually see them every other day,' Pollack said.

'Some days it is just an hour but other times it has been more than four hours. It depends on what needs to be done.'

Pollack, who also helps the brothers with legal guidance, added: 'Sometimes we need to type up an email that needs to be sent out later. You cannot use the internet inside the visiting room the only thing I can do is prepare stuff to send out later. We prepare, research takes time. I work together with them.'

Pollack said that as well as helping them spiritually and legally, he also tries to make their stays as comfortable as possible.

He has arranged for the prison vending machine to be stocked with kosher food, for example.

'Sometimes we have kosher food, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, sometimes bagels and lox,' he said. 'Non-Jews have burgers and pizza. Why can't you have kosher?'

For Hanukkah, Pollack arranged latkes, apple sauce, sour cream and donuts. 'There is no reason to suffer more than you have to,' he said.

The brothers also worry that leaving MDC means they will be split up.

Judge Caproni has recommended they be sent to separate facilities to serve their sentences because their crimes show they are a 'bad influence' on one another (several of their victims alleged they were raped by multiple brothers at the same time).

But Pollack warned they could be vulnerable if moved to different prisons because of their wealth and status, saying wealthy inmates are seen as opportunities for money or commissary goods.

'And you have to understand [at MDC] they have the Jewish community within the prison, [it] is very tight together. One looks out for the other. They only have each other.'

Pollack said they had increasingly been leaning on each other and their Jewish friends for protection after two of the brothers were attacked.

The Daily Mail understands that Alon and Tal had been working on computers in the library ahead of their sentencing when another inmate rushed into the area.

The inmate, who has harassed them before, was tackled by an officer and sprayed with pepper spray before he could reach them. The incident left both brothers shaken and more aware of their surroundings.

Juda Engelmayer, the Alexander family's PR strategist who speaks regularly with the siblings, said, there was concern within the family about where they will end up.

'We don't know what will happen when they get moved,' he said. He said MDC is convenient for the legal and appeal teams in New York and gives the brothers more time together. 'I think it's just better circumstances for them right now.'

Another benefit of being in Brooklyn is that the brothers' families can make regular trips from Miami to visit - and MDC appears lenient with timings and physical contact

'The family more or less try to make it every Friday,' Pollack said.

'They let you hug the kids. Maybe this is not for a rabbi to say, but they let them kiss the wives, you know? They can comfort each other. And they get over an hour, it's a good amount.'

He said the prison had also been accommodating about timing for Jewish visitors who observe Shabbat, which begins at sundown on Friday.

'There's a special memo, it took a while to get it approved, but for the Jewish visitors to come in at 10 o'clock in the morning on Fridays,' said Pollack.

With their request to stay at MDC denied, the brothers are now pushing to be sent to a prison in Florida, closer to their families and their children.

Pollack said it is their young families that keep the brothers going.

He revealed that Alon's wife brought their two daughters, ages four and six, to visit last Friday, just days after the brothers' sentencing.

'Alon was being a father,' he said. 'He was playing with them. There were some toys.'

Tal, who is divorcing, struggles most with not seeing his son. 'It's difficult because he doesn't see his son,' Pollack said. He added that Tal is optimistic he will remarry. Oren married Brazilian model Kamila Hansen in 2023 and they have one son together. 

With at least 60 more days at MDC, the brothers know they will remain close to family for Thanksgiving and Chanukah - one less worry while they focus on their appeal. 

'The fear of the unknown is over now. They know where they stand now,' said Pollock.

He said they feel relief 'that the charade is over and they could focus on what needs to be done.'

'Thirty years is not a joke. They are still optimistic. That is the Jewish faith and they are working on their appeal.'
