I'm A Celebrity 2024 is set to kick off in just over a week, and the first celebrity heading into camp has reportedly been revealed today.
McFly's Danny Jones was spotted at Heathrow Airport, checking into a flight to Australia, ready for his jungle adventure.
He wasn't the only well-known face on board, as Joel Dommett and Sam Thompson were also seen boarding the same flight. The duo are confirmed to host this year's spin-off show - I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked.
Danny was all smiles as he strolled through departures, with a guitar strapped to his back, perhaps to entertain his fellow campmates if it's allowed as his luxury item.
The 38-year-old boyband member will apparently spend up to three weeks in camp starting next weekend. The full line-up has already been leaked and will be officially announced by ITV in the coming days, reports the Mirror.
The camp is also said to include Coleen Rooney, 38, wife of footballer Wayne and known for her Wagatha Christie trial with Rebekah Vardy over leaked stories about her family.
N Dubz singer and former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos is also rumoured to be making a TV comeback on the show.
Boxing legend Barry McGuigan is supposedly joining the show, stepping in as the sportsman in camp after Ally McCoist dropped out. Bookies currently have McFly star Danny as the favourite to win.
He previously won The Masked Singer and his McFly bandmate Dougie Poynter won the show back in 2011.
Loose Women panellist and seasoned journalist Jane Moore is reportedly joining the cast alongside Radio 1 sensation Dean McCulloch.
Maura Higgins of Love Island fame is rumoured to be taking on another reality TV venture with a stint in I'm A Celebrity.
TikTok celebrity GK Barry is expected to join the jungle crew too, along with past Strictly Come Dancing winner Oti Mabuse.
DJ Melvin Odoom, radio personality Reverend Richard Coles, and Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall are also believed to be gearing up for the 2024 series.
Fans were overjoyed last year when ex-Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson was named King of the Jungle.
Sam was spotted boarding the same plane as fellow TV presenter Joel today, who also featured on the ITV show. Like his travel companion Danny, Joel seemed in high spirits as they both didn't mind being photographed before their journey Down Under.
Joel Dommett, 39, came in second on I'm A Celebrity in 2016 and will present the new show I'm A Celebrity Unpacked this year alongside current King of the Jungle, Sam Thompson, and DJ Kemi Rodgers.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain this Tuesday, Dommett shared: "I did the extra show for three years, which I loved. I feel like I learned everything there. And then it stopped for a couple of years, and it feels like the right time to bring it back. And we're really sort of mixing it up. We're changing it a lot."
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here will kick off on November 17 at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
