I’m A Celebrity’s FULL 2018 line-up revealed as ten stars prepare to enter the jungle – with John Barrowman the final name confirmed
JOHN Barrowman is the tenth star to join the I’m A Celebrity line up, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
The 51-year-old actor is heading to Australia to join a number of big name celebs, including former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, Nick Knowles and EastEnders’ Rita Simons.
A number of the celebs have already touched down in Australia ahead of the series launch this Sunday.
They will face terrifying trials, thousands of creepy crawlies and a tough starvation diet over the next few weeks as they battle it out to be crowned Queen or King of the jungle.
For the first time ever, the show will be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Declan Donnelly as Ant McPartlin continues his extended break from the spotlight.
Ahead of the start of the show, meet the ten stars who’ll be put through their paces…
John Barrowman
Last but by no means least, John was the final star to sign on the dotted line after Kate Garraway dropped out.
John previously admitted he'd been asked every year to take part but had always declined.
And his fans need to be prepared to see a different side of John, as he admitted: “If I don't eat, I get grumpy.
“Happy John you see on the telly would soon turn into Grumpy John and I'd probably start snapping at the other contestants.”
Rita Simons
It's been two years since Rita left EastEnders after her character Roxy Mitchell was sensationally killed off.
Now the 41-year-old - whose uncle is billionaire businessman Lord Sugar - is ready and raring for the Bushtucker Trials.
We're not sure how long her cute pink dye job is going to stay looking that perfect though...
Nick Knowles
TV presenter Nick, 56, was handed an impressive six-figure paycheck to appear on the new series.
And with his DIY knowledge, he'll no doubt come out on top when it comes to some of the practical challenges faced by the celebs in the jungle.
How the sixteen stone, six foot two TV star will cope on the measly rations however is another question.
Emily Atack
The Sun exclusively revealed how Emily, 28, signed up to the show earlier this year in a bid to boost her career.
She's best known as Charlotte Hinchcliffe, the love interest of Simon Bird’s Will McKenzie in E4’s The Inbetweeners.
Fans of Strictly Come Dancing will be hanging off her every word, after it was revealed she enjoyed a fling with this year's love-rat Seann Walsh.
Fleur East
Fleur couldn't wait to swap music for the muddy camp according to TV insiders, who said the former X Factor star was going to be the dark horse in the competition.
The 31-year-old will no doubt be keen to keep the camp entertained with her incredible singing voice.

But when it comes to the critters Fleur might not be smiling.
She's previously admitted to having a crippling fear of spiders and even went on a course to help cure her.
Let's hope for her sake it's worked...
James McVey
Rocker James is going to be getting the teenage vote when the series starts on Sunday.
Insiders told The Sun ITV bosses chose the 24-year-0ld Vamps singer because they needed a bloke to help sex up the camp.
But a jungle romance might not be on the cards, as the hunk has a girlfriend waiting for him back in Blighty.
Anne Hegerty
With The Chase's Anne in the camp, there is going to be no shortage of treats for the celebs this year.
The TV star, also known as the Governess, will be able to answer every Dingo Dollar Challenge question with ease.
Unless those cheeky I'm A Celeb bosses have decided to make the questions a lot more taxing.
Anne, 60, is no stranger to spending time Down Under as she also stars on the Australian version of the ITV quiz show.
Harry Redknapp
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry is the oldest contestant in the camp at 71.
But like last year's fan favourite Stanley Johnson, it's likely Harry will delight viewers with his wisdom and wit.
It's not surprising he decided to swap his luxurious mansion for the sleeping under the stars.
The Sun exclusively revealed how Harry is the highest ever paid contestant in I'm A Celebrity history, with an enormous £500,000 pay cheque.
Drinks on you then, Harry.
Sair Khan
Coronation Street fans will be thrilled to see Sair Khan, who plays Alya Nazir, on screen during the series.
The 30-year-old has a huge fan following on the ITV soap but will she regret swapping Weatherfield for four weeks sitting in the Australian jungle?
Malique Thompson-Dwyer
Hollyoaks star Malique has said he couldn't be more excited to be joining this year's line up.
The 20-year-old, who plays Prince McQueen on the Channel 4 soap, admitted taking part would be life changing.
And seeing as he's single, it's likely we could see a jungle romance on the cards this series.
But which lucky lady will the hunk have his eye on?
Ahead of their arrival in the jungle, ITV bosses have begun preparing a whole new base camp for the stars to enjoy.
Medic Bob meanwhile has had a big job on his hands, as recent torrential storms has seen the set infested with blood sucking leeches.
What a welcome these ten celebs are going to have...
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here starts on Sunday 18 November at 9pm on ITV.
