Kelly Brook jokes about missing dog and husband while preparing to compete in jungle series of ITV reality show in Brisbane

The jungle is calling, and this year’s lineup of celebrities is ready to swap city comforts for mud, bugs, and Bushtucker Trials.

From Kelly Brook to AngryGinge, ten stars have flown into Australia to take part in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! at the iconic location down under.

Presented by Ant McPartlin, 49, and Declan Donnelly, 50, the reality show is known for testing participants’ courage and endurance, as they face insects, wildlife, and daily survival challenges in the Australian bush.


Kelly Brook Arrives with a Smile

Model and Loose Women star Kelly Brook, 45, was one of the first to touch down in Brisbane.

Looking effortlessly glamorous in a £250 yellow-and-orange Louisa Ballou dress, Kelly kept her true mission under wraps, joking with reporters, “I’m just here to visit my Auntie Sheila.”

Asked what she’d miss most about the UK, Kelly admitted, “My dog Teddy and my husband Jeremy.”

She also expressed excitement about surfing, seeing family she hadn’t met in years, and encountering koalas and kangaroos—though she joked about hoping for a spare room instead of sleeping under the stars.

Phobia: Heights
Dream campmate: Ant and Dec or Myleene Klass


AngryGinge Joins the Jungle Adventure

Social media star Morgan Burtwistle, better known as AngryGinge, is ready to step out of his usual online world.

The 23-year-old Twitch and YouTube personality has spent most of his life on screens, so a few weeks without his devices promises to be “very educational.”

“When I got approached to be on I’m A Celebrity…, I said yes immediately because it’s a bucket list item,” he said. “I’ve watched the show with my mum since I was a kid.

Taking part this year is something I couldn’t pass up.”

Phobia: Spiders
Dream campmate: Wayne Rooney


Rapper Aitch Lands with a Message

Harrison James Armstrong, aka Aitch, flew into Brisbane determined to inspire younger viewers.

The North Manchester rapper arrived in a black-and-white Adidas tracksuit, insisting he was on “tour” as contestants are still not allowed to officially confirm their jungle participation.

“I was gonna say I’ll miss the rain in the UK, but it’s raining here, so nothing’s changed,” he joked.

“I’ve been to Australia plenty of times, I love it here, and I don’t mind snakes—even snake on toast.”

Phobia: Nothing
Dream campmate: Snoop Dogg


Meet the Full Jungle Lineup

This year, the jungle will host a mix of soap stars, musicians, and comedy legends, all ready to swap comfort for camp life.

Alongside Kelly, AngryGinge, and Aitch, other contestants include Martin Kemp, Eddie Kadi, Shona McGarty, Ruby Wax, Alex Scott, Lisa Riley, and Jack Osbourne.

Two more celebrities are expected to join them later in the series.


Live Coverage and Viewer Interaction

For the next three weeks, the Daily Mail will be providing live updates, commentary, and reactions from the jungle launch, beginning at 9pm on ITV.

Fans are encouraged to share their first impressions of the campmates via the comments section or by emailing Hannah McDonald.

With challenges testing fears of insects, confined spaces, and heights, this series promises plenty of drama, laughter, and nail-biting moments as the celebrities fight for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle.
