So who's going into the jungle this time? Who would we all love to see squirm in the wild? Basically anyone who's famous, tbh.
Reality TV star Domenica Calarco.
For any MAFS fan, this woman needs no introduction.
The 2022 season of the hit reality TV show often centred on the drama surrounding contestant Domenica Calarco. Nowadays, she is a content creator and has her own successful podcast withMAFSco-star Ella Ding.
She said to //news.com news.com.au that she is keen forI'm A Celebritybecause it will likely spark far less drama.
"I'm actually excited about that fact that it's completely unfiltered, unedited. They don't have time to manipulate storylines and whatever. So that's something that really excites me about the show."
She will be competing to win the show's prize money for the Leukaemia Foundation, following her uncle's death to blood cancer five years ago.
TV and music industry icon Ian 'Dicko' Dickson.
Ahh, another familiar face. And perhaps a bit of a controversial one at times, too.
This loud and proud English expat has been a staple of Aussie media since 2003. We know him as one of the OG judges onAustralian Idol, where he often was the one to hand down rather cutting critiques https://www.google.com/search?q=dicko+mamamia&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjSvY7Hv4z-AhUK-HMBHQdvDNsQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=dicko+mamamia&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoHCAAQigUQQzoICAAQgAQQsQM6BQgAEIAEOggIABCxAxCDAToNCAAQigUQsQMQgwEQQzoKCAAQigUQsQMQQzoLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwE6BAgAEB46BggAEAUQHjoGCAAQCBAeUABYxghgrgloAHAAeACAAYoBiAHIDJIBBDAuMTKYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=SCMqZNL5KIrwz7sPh96x2A0&bih=664&biw=1536&rlz=1C1UEAD_en-GBAU977AU978#imgrc=jJf-5VjUrGyHyM...
Since hisIdoldays, Dicko has gone on to do a bunch more TV opps. He's also a major player in the music recording industry, has done some stellar theatre work and has produced live music festivals. And nowI'm A Celebrity.
He's been in headlines this past week following an incredibly candid interview on Jessica Rowe’s podcast, The Jessica Rowe Big Talk Show, about his past addiction to fame, and we're excited to see how this reformed man handles the jungle.
Famed chef Anna Polyviou.
For any foodie fans out there, Anna Polyviou is a familiar face, arguably most recognisable thanks to her iconic pink hairdo.
She's know for her out-of-the-box creations, mostly desserts. And she's done plenty of TV gigs, including being a regular guest onMasterChef Australia.She has also won the hearts onFamily Food Fight, Snack Masters, The Cook Up With Adam Liaw, Everyday Gourmet, Studio 10...need we go on?!
Polyviou is also a cookbook author, so it looks like this year's cast members are guaranteed a good feed while in the jungle, even if the ingredients supplied are a little peculiar.
Radio host Woody Whitelaw.
KIIS FM Drive comedic duo Will & Woody are wildly popular in the radio scene and were also fan favourites when they co-appeared on Celebrity Apprentice recently. But this time around, Woody will be going it alone onI'm A Celebrity.
Speaking on his own radio show, Woody revealed, "There are mixed emotions to be heading into the jungle. I’m obviously excited to be getting a free flight to South Africa and becoming best mates with some cool celebs, but there is also the reality of being away from my girls for an extended period of time.
"I haven't been away from [my daughter] Rem for over three days since she was born, so I really don't know how I'm going to handle that."
