George Hamilton
Mr suave , the 70 year old pin up shows himself as game to even consider the prospect of entering the world of rice and peas. Rather than a career saver ,perhaps one of those opportunities where celebrities really fancy a challenge before it's too late. Maybe a surprise achiever in the show or a spoilt irritant, the early days will indicate which.

Jedward
After Katie Price's decision to leave the show after completing six trials her space is filled by Jedward, the twins who were eliminated ffrom The X Factor last week. At 17 and with only one show under their belt , 'Celebrity ' status is clearly a very loose description of the contestants. Clever programming. The boys are only 17 years old but having each other must have swayed the production team regarding any concerns about their age. Reportedly very messy in the X factor house, these two could prove more irritating to their camp mates than all the mosquitoes and bugs in the jungle.
Jimmy White
47 yr ols snooker player Jimmy will be away from the green baize and into the unforgiving green jungle. Seeing Jimmy outside those smokey hallowed halls will be interesting to all. A down to earth lad's lad could be a real favorite with those in camp and at home but will he be tolerant and generous to others?

Justin Ryan
The other half of Colin McAllister Justin's design capabilities might assist the comfort of this years camp or it may just all be too daunting.

Katie Price
Whilst not one of the original eleven, Katie had more publicity than all for her decision to return to the jungle after her much publicized divorce from Peter Andre this year. For a reported fee of £450,000 compared to the £60,000 of other contestants her return is likely to be met with disbelief by public and celebrities alike. Clearly a tough cookie the first time she entered, she will be keen to prove her metal this time and the publc are sure to want to see her squirm. Maybe one publicity stunt too far.

Her famed hairpiece and long nails may have to be sacrificed if she is to win the Queen of The Jungle prize!
