The show will return later this year
There are only a few months left until the return of “I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!” and the rumor mill is bubbling about which celebrities will be heading off into the Australian jungle. One particular name has been given additional heat in recent days.
Following his surprise split from fiancée Molly-Mae Hague after five years together, Love Island 2019 star Tommy Fury is tipped to take part in the popular show; his odds are currently at 4/1.
Ladbrokes said: “Reality TV bosses will surely be lining up to snap up Molly-Mae or Tommy following the surprise split, and odds suggest the latter could well head to the jungle later this year.”
Check out the rumored names for this year’s I’m a Celeb below:
Tom Daley
After winning his fifth Olympic medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, diver Tom Daley announced his retirement from the sport after the Games. Now bosses are reportedly keen to sign him for “I’ma Celeb!”
Tommy Fury
Following his surprise split from his Love Island fiancée Molly-Mae Hague in August, bookies are now tipping Tommy Fury to compete for the 2024 series! Ladbrokes said: “Reality TV bosses will surely be lining up to snap up Molly-Mae or Tommy following their surprise split, and odds suggest the latter could well head to the jungle later this year.”
Giovanni Pernice
Following his sacking from Strictly Come Dancing, ITV/STV bosses are reportedly looking to sign Giovanni Pernice for the 2024 series. Mail Online suggests they are willing to pay £100,000 to sign him.
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years and was believed to be set to appear in 2023 before he suffered a nasty cruciate ligament injury which required major surgery. Now it is being reported that bosses would like to sign Alan up for the 2024 show.
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his role as presenter on This Morning in 2023, there were rumours that Phillip Schofield could join the 2023 series. As fans know, Phillip was not included, but with reports suggesting he is close to making a comeback to TV, could I’m a Celeb be the platform he needs to relaunch his career?
Alex Beresford
Alex Beresford, weather reporter for Good Morning Britain, recently expressed interest in appearing on I’m a Celeb. He told the Mirror: “Of all the shows I’d like to do, I’d most like to appear in the jungle.”
Alex recently appeared on Celebrity Race Across The World on BBC One.
Daniel Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, there have been many rumours about his participation in I’m a Celeb.
Of course, his family is familiar with reality TV, as Danny’s daughter Dani won Love Island in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The pretty Denise van Outen is no stranger to the reality show scene and has appeared on shows such as “Strictly Come Dancing” and “Celebrity Gogglebox” in recent years.
Denise has previously admitted that she turned down the offer in 2021, so will 2024 be her year?
Sam Aston
Coronation Street legend Sam Aston hinted that he would like to take part in the show in 2021.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, he said: “I’ve always said no to all these shows, but for some reason I’ve been more open to the idea recently. Jennie McAlpine and Andy Whyment have done the jungle and they both said it was the experience of a lifetime.”
“If it was offered to me, I would be open to the idea and also open to the extra cents!”
The Vivienne
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne recently admitted during a chat with Lorraine that she would love to appear on I’m a Celeb.
She said, “You know what? I never thought about it, but that would be an absolutely fantastic opportunity.”
Phil Taylor
Darts legend Phil Taylor has been the subject of heated debate every year since he admitted he would “love” to appear on the show a few years ago. Since he hasn’t entered the jungle yet, could 2024 be his year?
Will Mellor
After appearing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, actor Will Mellor seems to have caught the reality TV bug, as he confessed to friend and former co-star Ralf Little that he would love to appear on I’m a Celeb. Could 2024 be his year?
Richard Arnold
Usually it’s Good Morning Britain’s entertainment presenter Richard Arnold who travels to Australia to cover the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be there this year!
Harry Clark
The winner of the second season of The Traitors, Harry Clark, is reportedly set to join the 2024 season. In early July, Harry appeared on Lorraine and confessed that he would love to take part! Will we see him in the jungle?
None of the above names have been confirmed by ITV/STV bosses.
Just weeks after their five-year anniversary, Tommy and Molly-Mae shocked the showbiz world last week by announcing the end of their romance.
The couple, who have one-year-old daughter Bambi, released separate statements online, with Molly, 25, suggesting that she was the one who decided to end the relationship.
Molly-Mae wrote: “Never in my life did I think I would have to write this. After five years together, I never thought our story would end, especially not in this way.”
“I am extremely saddened to announce that my relationship with Tommy has come to an end.
“I will be forever grateful for the most important thing to me now and always will be: my beautiful daughter. Without us she would not be here, she will always be my priority.”
“I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years. You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it is only right to share this with you all.
“As I try to get through the next few days and weeks, please respect my privacy during this difficult time. I will get back to you when it feels right for you.” (sic)
Not long after, professional boxer Tommy told his followers: “It breaks my heart to announce that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship.
“The last 5 years have resulted in us having our beautiful little girl Bambi. and I will be forever grateful to Molly for making me a father. Bambi is our number one priority.
“Please respect our privacy and the privacy of our families as we navigate through this difficult time.” (sic)
In the days that followed, allegations came to light that Tommy had “cheated” on Molly-Mae, but he immediately denied the allegations in a statement through his spokesperson.
The statement said: “Tommy is appalled by the false allegations of fraud circulating in the media and is consulting with his lawyers.”
I’m a Celeb is set to return to ITV/STV later this year, with the official line-up expected to be announced a few days beforehand.
