I'M A Celebrity fans are complaining legendary campmate Lady Campbell wasn't included in the line-up for its South African all-stars special.

The eccentric aristocrat, 73 — who quit the main 2015 series and later claimed two co-stars bullied her — is in talks to appear in the spin-off All-Stars show.

Jamaican-born socialite Lady Campbell threatened to sue ITV when she left the Oz jungle eight years ago, claiming Duncan Bannatyne and Tony Hadley “ran her out of camp”.

She branded Dragons’ Den’s Bannatyne, 73, a “vain old goat” and Spandau Ballet’s Hadley, 62, a “chippy little oik”.

Both denied they bullied the author after the final, won by Vicky Pattison, 34.

Fans demanded she get a place in I’m A Celebrity…South Africa as the first nine stars taking part were confirmed last night.

Ant and Dec revealed the exciting news during tonight’s Saturday Night Takeaway – and they promised “it's bigger and wilder than we could have hoped for”.

One said: "WHY IS LADY C NOT ON THERE?"

Another added: "Need this legend back. Absolutely loved Lady C.";

Someone else said: "Lady C, ooooh she was nasty, good TV tho."

The Sun previously revealed there will be more celebrities taking part and it has now been confirmed they will enter the camp at different stages - so there's still time for Lady C to make an appearance.

The celebrities survived the Australian jungle but South Africa is an even harder proposition which will push them to their limits and test them like never before.

The challenges are bigger and tougher and the environment harsher and more unforgiving.

Taking on the return to the jungle includes boxing champion Amir Khan, Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo, Helen Flanagan who played Rosie Webster in Corrie, former Countdown co-host Carol Vorderman, model Janice Dickinson, Fatima Whitbread, Princess Diana's former butler’s Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnel and Shaun Ryder.
