I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! is finally returning to our screens tonight. And we can. not. wait.
The new season will see a new batch of celebs put their reputation and personal hygiene on the line as they take part in disgusting food challenges and terrifying trials all for our entertainment.Fun.
Only this time around, thanks to COVID-19, the show will be held in the Aussie bush rather than the South African jungle... which honestly sounds just as terrifying.
Watch the trailer for the new season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Post continues below.
For the past month, Channel 10 have dropped subtle hints about each of this year's contestants. And after some very serious research (read: scrolling through Instagram and Wikipedia) we think we worked out quite a few of them.
Some of our guesses were also confirmed when TVBlackbox seemingly leaked the list of contestants in December.
According to the industry publication, the
un
lucky celebs heading into the jungle include:Now, ahead of tonight's premiere, Channel 10 have confirmed the first two celebs officially heading into the jungle.
In a post shared on Instagram earlier today, the network announced comedian Mel Buttle and singer-actress Toni Pearen (who we correctly guessed) will be joining the rest of the unknown cast.
As for who the rest of the celebs will be, we think we have a pretty good idea.
Here's our gusses for this year'sI’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!contestants.
A renowned chef.
Clue:"A renowned chef is heading into the Aussie jungle. And we can’t wait to feed him critters."
Our guess:Colin Fassnidge.
We know celebrity chef Pete Evans won't be appearing on the show after Channel 10 confirmed the news in November.
According to Rob McKnight ofTV Blackbox, who spoke with Nova'sFitzy & Wippa, Evans was "dumped" whilst in lockdown, about to enter the jungle.
"At 6:30 am the call came through from [Channel 10 executive] Bev McGarvie to ITV the production house. She said, 'he’s out, do not let him go into the jungle'. He is now packing up his bags and returning to Byron Bay and he is apparently furious".
After the announcement, "impeccable sources" told The Australian that Evans would be replaced by none other than his formerMy Kitchen Rulesco-star Colin Fassnidge.
TV Blackboxhave also listed the chef as one of the contestants heading into the jungle.
A true diva.
Clue:"A true diva is heading into the Aussie jungle. You'd think she'd be okay with spiders but we'll see."
Our guess:Paulini
It didn't take long for fans to work out this clue. A number of people have commented on Instagram suggesting the "true diva" is Paulini Curuenavuli, who just so happened to be the Spider onThe Masked Singerin 2019.
As an extra little side note, an inside source told the Daily Mail last month that the 38-year-old was seen entering the campsite. According to the publication, the formerAustralian Idolstar was made to sky dive into Clarrie Hall Dam, along withAustralia’s Got Talentcontestant Jack Vidgen (but more on him later).
TVBlackboxhave also named Paulini as one of this year's contestants.
