Having already endured bushtucker trials and creepy crawlies, these famous faces have committed to a second stint in the jungle.

The complete line-up for I'm A Celebrity All Stars series two features major names, including a soap opera legend, a controversial Strictly star and a cherished Olympian.

Set in South Africa, presenters Ant and Dec have already joined this cast to begin filming the popular ITV programme.

Here are the celebrities competing to determine who will be crowned king or queen, and who will be shouting: "I'm a celebrity... get me out of here!"

When the comedian appeared on the programme in 2022, he not only secured fifth place but managed to rehabilitate himself with the public following his Strictly Come Dancing controversy involving kissing his married dance partner, Katya Jones.

A TV insider said: "When he went into the jungle in 2022 he very much did it in the hope of redeeming himself in the eyes of the viewing public. Which was no mean feat given he'd been branded an aggressive gaslighter as a result of his fling with Katya and his treatment of his girlfriend.

"Yet he managed to emerge as one of the more popular campmates and actually finished in a respectable fifth place in the contest."

The 44-year-old former world champion boxer will be heading into the jungle, according toThe Mirror.

A source said: "David was delighted to get the call from ITV. As viewers know, no chats are off-limits around the campfire, so they can expect to see David grilled over his quirky relationships."

During his first time in the series, David secured third place, trailing behind Ashley Roberts and EastEnders' Charlie Brooks.

It looks as though the legendary GC is making her jungle comeback following her dramatic exit after merely three days in her debut appearance.

The Towie icon insisted she had contracted malaria and suffered a panic attack before being airlifted from camp.

Years following her departure from the programme, Gemma revealed her desire for a second attempt. "Everything would be different a second time. I'd be like Lara Croft and Angelina Jolie rolled into one, and I'd do the tasks. I'm not scared of nothing. Hopefully one day the producers may give me another chance."

The 2018 King of the Jungle has returned. He's anticipated to begin the programme amongst the early favourites owing to his tremendous appeal.

One insider commented: "Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants."

During his first stint, Harry acquired street vocabulary from Fleur East and Malique Thompson-Dwyer, received leg massages from Noel Edmonds and was assigned toilet duties when his lack of smell was discovered.

Harry isn't the sole champion making a return - 2016's Queen Scarlett Moffatt will also be back. Discussing her return, Scarlett said: "I'm not sure about smashing the trials, but I'd give them my best shot.

"But as I've gotten older my fear levels have gone up. I can't even get on rollercoasters now."

Emmerdale actor Adam, who finished behind Scarlett in the previous series and earned the title of Mr Bushtucker Trial for undertaking the most challenges, is set to return.

A source said: "This will be a glorious return for Adam as he established himself as a true fan favourite through his series in camp and then on the spin-off show."

Cherished Olympian Mo, who came fifth last time, has chosen All Stars over appearing in Strictly Come Dancing.

An insider shared: "Mo is very competitive so is definitely out to win this time round. He's excited to experience a different side of I'm A Celeb as obviously the castle series were dramatically different to Oz. The sunny camps bring with them new problems, but he's feeling excited for the challenge."

Ashley, who was a runner-up thirteen years ago, is also returning. An insider stated: "Ashley had some iconic moments soaping up in the outback waterfall.

"Stripping back down to her swimwear on TV again netted Myleene some very lucrative deals after the show, and it's sure to do the same for Ashley."

Pop sensation Sinitta, one of the older contestants entering the jungle at 61, has fans eagerly anticipating more of her campsite tales about best mate Simon Cowell.

Corrie icon and Radio 2 DJ Craig last appeared on the show in 2014, having to exit due to a family tragedy when his brother suffered a fatal heart attack.

An insider shared: "He was robbed of the experience by the family tragedy, although his campmates and the production team all understood why he wanted to leave and head home to be with his loved ones."

Soccer AM presenter Jimmy was the first to be voted off in his previous stint and is aiming for a longer stay this time.

An insider commented: "Jimmy had a brilliant time in the original series he took part in and it really opened the door to his broadcasting career.

"He was voted off first last time and he felt he had a lot more to give. Now he's got the chance to get stuck in again, although he's a bit older so he is worried he might find it harder to rough it.

"His banter is still on form though. Producers are hopeful he'll have a bromance with Harry Redknapp."

Corrie actress Beverly, known for her role as Rovers Return landlady Liz McDonald, is heading back to the jungle.

An insider shared: "Beverley's first taste of I'm A Celebrity was in a cold, wet castle in Wales and it was a tough experience - although she loved making so many new friends."

I'm A Celebrity All Stars is set to return to ITV next year.
