I’m a Celebrity is underway – and the drama is already starting.

Olivia Attwood has been forced to drop out after less than 24 hours due to a medical emergency.

One of the younger stars, Olivia’s presence will be missed. But was she the youngest, and who gets to pull rank as the camp’s elder statesmen?

With age comes confidence, as displayed by 48-year-old Chris Moyles’ claim on the show that he was the ‘best broadcaster of my generation.’

Coronation Street favourite Eileen – or Sue Cleaver to her real life friends and family – is 59-years-old.

Her birthday is September 2, 1963.

Fans couldn’t quite believe Sue’s age, due to her youthful looks and energy.

Boy George, this year’s oldest campmate

The Culture Club pop icon is this year’s oldest campmate, at 61-years-old.

Born June 14, 1961, like a fine wine, age has worked for Boy George it seems, considering he reportedly snagged the biggest paycheque in the show’s history.

Who were the youngest and oldest contestants in the show’s history?

While Owen Warner is young, he’s not the youngest to ever appear. That would be Hollyoaks actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer, who was just 20 when he appeared on the show back in 2018.

On the flip side, Dame Arlene Phillips is the oldest person to appear on the show.

She was 78-years-old when she took part in the 2021 series.
