There isn’t long to go until I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns for its 2022 series, and all eyes are on the celebrities touching down in Australia for the show’s long-awaited return to the jungle.
Over the past few weeks, a variety of famous faces have been rumoured to have joined the line-up, including England football star Jill Scott, Loose Women’s Charlene White and royal family member Mike Tindall, the last of whom is the latest to be spotted at the airport in Brisbane.
As the cast continue arriving in the land Down Under, the full list appears to have been cemented before the programme blasts back onto our screens on Sunday November 6 with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as the annual hosts.
Last year, Emmerdale star Danny Miller was crowned the King of the Castle at Gwrych Castle in Wales, the second year in a row that the show had been filmed in Wales.
So who will take the title as the new King or Queen of the Jungle this year? Here’s the full line-up, as it’s understood to be mapped out so far.

Mike Tindall, who’s married to the late Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter Zara Phillips, is going to be the first royal ever to enter the jungle on the reality show.
The former rugby union player, who has been photographed at the airport in Brisbane, was part of the England team which won the 2003 World Cup.
He married Zara, Princess Anne’s daughter, in 2011.
