Two more celebrities have touched down in Australia as they’re joining the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here line-up.
So far, Hollyoaks’ Owen Warner has joined the likes of Love Island’s Olivia Attwood and TV personality Chris Moyles, who were also recently pictured Down Under.
And now, Loose Women’s Charlene White and Lioness Jill Scott are confirmed to be taking on the bushtucker trials as Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly return to the Australian jungle after two years in Wales due to the pandemic.
It’s also been reported that the camp will see its first ever royal, as Mike Tindall is rumoured to be taking part, while Boy George has reportedly bagged the show’s biggest paycheck.
The forthcoming series, which is launching on November 6 at 9pm, will see a new batch of famous faces undertake challenges and trials to secure food and treats for the group and avoid being voted out by the viewers.
While ITV have yet to officially confirm the contestants for the new series, Charlene and Jill were the fifth and sixth celebs landing in Brisbane.
42-year-old Charlene was spotted all-smiles as she touched down at Brisbane Airport, wearing comfy attire with a turquoise hoodie.

According to an ITV source, she’s been described as a ‘great signing’ for I’m A Celeb.
‘She’s got some strong opinions, but is really personable and will be good value around the Aussie campfire,’ they told The Sun.

‘They hope her journalistic background means she will eke out some illuminating conversations from her campmates, which shouldn’t be hard given some of the people she’ll be sleeping in a bunk next to.’
Meanwhile, 35-year-old midfielder Jill, who soared to victory with the Lioness’ earlier this summer, opted for jeans and a blazer as she strolled through the airport.
Jill will be taking on the creepy crawlies having announced her retirement from football earlier this year.

During her stint in the Euros final, Scott sent viewers into hysterics (and lip readers into action) when she was caught on camera swearing at a rival player, with the clip quickly going viral.
‘Jill became an instant star following that memorable moment, with most Brits forgiving the minor outburst,’ a source revealed.
The insider continued to The Sun: ‘It was always rumoured that ITV wanted one of the team in the jungle and Jill is a natural choice.’

Scott announced her retirement on Twitter in August, not long after Lioness Ellen White did the same, with a post which read: ‘Right, we’re not crying. I promised myself. I’m retiring from football. And I’m leaving with a gold medal swinging from my neck.’
The annual survival series won’t premiere until November, but the stars entering the jungle have been making their way to Australia early so that they can remain in isolation.

Ant and Dec celebrated going back to the jungle in the recently released trailer, which saw them jumping out of a helicopter into the wilderness.
The teaser clip saw Ant enthusiastically radio through that ‘Alpha November Tango and Delta Echo Ciabatta are coming in hot’.

Before he took a leap of faith, he reminded his co-star Dec of their ‘Ant and Dec Always Together’ contract, with Dec firing back: ‘I wish I’d never signed that thing!’
As they plummet into the outback, they open their parachutes which are emblazoned with the phrase ‘we’re back’.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns on Sunday, November 6 at 9pm on ITV.
