Festive season is beginning, which means it's almost time to hear the I'm A Celeb theme tune every weeknight. This year, same as last, the celebrities will be eating disgusting food and competing in hellish challenges at Gwyrch Castle in Wales. Hopefully, the fact the show is being held in the UK again - as Covid restrictions last year ruled out filming in Australia - might attract some more superstar names.

Last year, the competition was won by podcaster Giovanna Fletcher, with Radio 1's Jordan North{ =nofollow}as the runner-up. But who will be hoping to make themselves even more famous on the series? Already the rumours are swirling, and we decided to investigate them for you. So read on below to find out who could be heading to the castle this November - and if this list is correct, then there's some very big names who are going to be fighting your votes.

Find out everything you need to know about the series, including when it's going to hit screens, here as well.

Dame Arlene Phillips

An original Strictly judge and a nation's favourite, Arlene is set to take part in the jungle. There is a lot of fuss surrounding the fact that if she does take part in the show, she will be the oldest I'm a Celeb contestant in the show's history - we say age is but a number. Go on Arlene!

Adam Woodyatt

EastEnders legend Adam Woodyatt is top of the bosses' list, according to The Sun, and he could have landed a 'bumper deal'. A source told the paper: 'When you consider how long he has been a household name, he has only agreed to a handful of TV appearances outside of Albert Square. And he isn't known for being a red carpet regular either. So it's a huge coup to have reached this point, and everyone is very excited about having him on the show.'

Richard Madeley

He might have just signed a huge deal at Good Morning Britain, but according to reports, that isn't the only contract the presenter has signed. Richard also pretty much confirmed the news himself on GMB, saying he wouldn't be going full time until after Christmas as he had he 'some very interesting things to see and eat'.

Frankie Bridge

It is rumoured that this former Saturdays singer and Loose Women panellist will follow in the footsteps of her husband Wayne. Former footballer Wayne, finished in fifth place in the Australian jungle back in 2016 - can Frankie beat that and take the crown?

The runner and cyclist was a shining star for Team GB at the Tokyo Paralympics, after taking home two gold medals. Her stellar fitness will definitely come in handy during the Bushtucker Trials.

Matty Lee

Another gold medalist is linked to I'm A Celebrity this year. The British diver took home his first gold in Tokyo alongside Tom Daley in the 10m synchs event. The swimming trials will of course be a doddle for this star...

Naughty Boy

A stint on I'm A Celeb could make hitmaker Naughty Boy - real name Shahid Khan - a TV star. He was forced to pull out of last year's competition due to a family illness - our fave Jordan North replaced him - so he's very likely to be on our screens this November.

Rounding off the soap trio is Simon Gregson. Of course, we need someone from Coronation Street to complete the big three. Simon will reportedly be carrying the torch for Weatherfield this year. He follows in the footsteps of his fellow co-stars including Sair Khan, Andy Whyment and Jennie McAlpine but to name a few..

Shortly after her departure from BBC Breakfast rumours started swirling that she was set to join IAC. It is a great coincidence and means the journalist and presenter has time on her hands to head to Wales...

Leon 'Locksmith' Rolle

Rudeimental's DJ Locksmith is apparently on the list as a reserve contestant. He is the mastermind behind some of Rudimental's hit songs including Waiting All Night, Feel the Love and These Days.
