I'M A Celebrity returned in November for another action-packed series - after months of anticipation and speculation.

Here's the lowdown on the celebs in TV's most infamous jungle as they battle it out to win the public's vote.

What is the full lineup for I'm A Celebrity 2018?

Noel Edmonds, 69, was the last confirmed arrival to the jungle, and, unfortunately for him, the first one to be booted out.

The Deal Or No Deal host was signed up for £600,000 - making him the highest paid celebrity on the show.

An ITV source said: “Bosses for I’m A Celebrity have been trying to sign Noel for years. He’s their dream signing." Noel Edmonds will be accompanied io the jungle by two melon-sized ‘orbs’ that he believes are his late parents. He's also said to be scared of water, which sounds problematic.

Emily Atack, 28, first hit the spotlight when she got a role in The Inbetweeners as Charlotte Hinchcliffe.

The actress revealed that she's still called "Charlotte big jugs" by fans. 

She hopes the show will give her a career boost and is open to the possibility of finding love in the jungle. 



On arriving in Australia she said: "I'm extremely excited and extremely nervous, I'm scared of everything, but I hope to take it on and do my absolute best."

The Inbetweeners are back in the news as Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison will reminisce about playing hilarious sixth formers Will McKenzie, Simon Bird, Jay Cartwright and Neil Sutherland in a new 10th-anniversary programme being shot for Channel 4 next month.
