After leaving Eastenders last year following her 16-year stint on the soap, actress Shona McGarty is heading Down Under for this year's I'm a Celebrity...

She said: "To be honest, I have always wanted to do I’m A Celebrity because I am a massive fan of the show.Now that I have left EastEnders, I want to do other things. I’m finding my voice and who I am away from the script and character that I grew up playing.

"Everyone expects me to wear massive gold hoop earrings and have a ponytail whilst eating chicken nuggets, but I am nothing like that. I’m looking forward to using this experience to be completely myself, which nobody has seen."

Rapper Aitch is travelling all the way from Manny to the Asutralian jungle. The Mancunian artist, real name Harrison Armstrong, is also hoping to raise awareness about Down Syndrome whilst in the camp. His sister, Gracie, has the genetic disorder.

He said: "I feel like I have got this calling to raise awareness for Down syndrome and I feel that’s the perfect place. Also, you don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever. You can branch out and do other things.

"You don’t have to stick to the code (rap world), because you think that’s cool. I did have to cancel some gigs for it. But you are never going to branch out if you do the same thing all the time."

Lisa Riley has been on our screens for over 30 years, best known for playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale. Now she's swapping Yorkshire for sunny Australia after admitting last year: "I’m A Celebrity...is something I would do before I turned 50 as a test for myself."

On taking part this year, she added: "I'm going to be 50 next year, it’s thirty years on and off playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale and ten years of being sober. It’s like a big baguette where everything I wanted was in it. And it’s I’m A Celebrity’s 25th series anniversary too."

Jack Osbourne is an English and American media personality. He is the youngest child of Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne.

Jack says his mum and sister Kelly have given him their "full support," admitting they told him they hope being in the jungle takes his mind off the death of his dad earlier this year.

He said: "Mum and Kelly, yeah they are absolutely going to be watching. They are supportive. It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind. I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still in the wake of my dad passing. It is going to be difficult, that is for sure.

"It’s not the longest amount of time I’ve been away from them. I’ve gone on different trips filming Adrenaline Junkie for nearly two months without a phone, but I still had access to one and I was able to make calls home.It’s going to be very difficult not speaking to my wife and kids. But yes, I do hope I can make my family proud."

He said: "I’ve had to cancel some jobs, but when Roman was on I’m A Celebrity, I was addicted. I watched it every day and enjoyed it so much. I felt it was now time in my life for an adventure.

"I have been on this journey of DJ’ing over the last five years, it has been non-stop, and I thought it was time to give something back to myself. I absolutely love the show; it is iconic TV, which I love being part of."

72-year-old TV icon Ruby Wax, known for being an actress, comedian and mental health campaigner is another star lined up for the jungle.

She said: "I was offered the chance to take part a long time ago and I thought, 'No, I could never do that' but now it’s the right time. I like doing adventurous things.

"It will be nice for people to get to know the real me because you can’t hide in the jungle. In my personas before, I looked quite aggressive and pushy, and I think it was just my nerves. I am not aggressive; it’s the way I talk. I’m not confrontational, and it looked like I was."

Actress, model and current radio host Kelly Brook is one of the celebs in the starting line-up. She previously vowed to never take part in I'm A Celebrity... but had changed her mind after being inspired by her husband Jeremy, who she appeared on Celebrity Race Across the World with last year.

She said: "I didn’t think it was ever in me to do the challenges and Bushtucker Trials. But since I have been with my husband, we have done a few things that I’ve surprised myself by. We did Race Across the World, and I ran the London marathon this year – two things I never thought I had in me.

"I’m such a fan of the show that I thought, ‘Maybe I could do it, maybe I could cope.’ I won’t know unless I try and so I am going to throw myself into it."

On preparing himself for the jungle, Eddie revealed: "I am not too great on rice and beans. It takes me back to my university days. I like flavour, I don’t know how I will survive.

"I have never camped outside before either, and the closest thing I have come to this is a walk in Kew Gardens. I have done a zip line, but no bungee jumping or sky diving. It’s going to be the first of many things."

Job: Former footballer and sports broadcaster

Former Lioness and now BBC Sports presenter Alex Scott has signed up for this year's I'm a Celebrity.

The Arsenal and England professional footballer earned 140 caps for her country before retiring to football punditry. She says her partner, singer Jess Glynne, thinks she is "absolutely mental" for taking part.

She added: "I will need to push myself to speak out around all of the different and big personalities. Not going into myself for being the shy one will be my big challenge.

"People see you on TV and they assume you are outgoing, that loud person but take me to red carpets or events and I am the one in the corner going, ‘Talk to me, please give me a plus one so I don’t have to be that person who walks in on my own.’ It’s going to be a challenge.”

Alex was the first contestant to be evicted, after the celebs went head-to-head in a trial and she, Aitch, Angry Ginge, Kelly Brook, Ruby Wax, Martin Kemp and Jack Osborne all faced eviction.
