Every day that passes, we get closer to finding out the incredibly well-kept secret that is the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! cast lineup.
The reality show has yet to unveil a release date, but based on previous years, viewers can expect the 2024 series to drop around November and naturally speculation of the celebrities signing up for torture in the jungle has begun.
No celebrities have been officially confirmed, however, Tommy Fury’s name has been thrown in the ring after his public break-up with fiancé Molly-Mae Hague.
Who is rumoured to be going on I’m A Celeb 2024?
Coleen Rooney

WAG and TV star Coleen Rooney has reportedly signed an I’m A Celeb contract with a massive fee.
Coleen has been married to former Man U player Wayne Rooney since 2008 and just last year she had to defend her decision to stay with him following a string of cheating scandals.
Tabloid sources have said: “I’m A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board.
“She’s always been a massive fan of the show and loves watching it with her boys. ITV are over the moon that the stars have aligned this year and she can fit it in. The series is set to be one of the best yet.
“Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case. She’s excited to show fans a different side to her and prove she can survive without her creature comforts.”
Vardy and Rooney return to court for day four of Wagatha trial
ITV bosses are said to be hoping Coleen lift the lid on the “drama of the Wagatha trial to her turbulent marriage to Wayne and his football career”.
In 2023 Coleen released a documentary on Disney+ about her trial against fellow footballer wife Rebekah Vardy, titled Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story.
In the hopes that Coleen will reveal all she is reportedly being paid a fee higher than Nigel Farage‘s £1.5 million.

Another celebrity has reportedly been in chats to sign up for the show, ex-X Factor judge and 2000s popstar Tulisa Contostavlos has been tipped as a contender in the jungle.
The singer rose to fame as the female voice in N-Dubz who enjoyed a decade-long career in the band from 2000 – 2011.
She then moved on to become the younger X Factor judge in history at just 23 years old in 2011, 2012 and 2014 and even mentored the hugely successful girl group Little Mix who ended up winning the competition in 2011.
In 2022 after 11 years N-Dubz revealed they were going on a reunion tour which sold out within minutes. According to the tabloids, “Tulisa has been on ITV’s hit list for a while but until now she’s never wanted to consider it.”

“This year is a decade since she left The X Factor so she felt the time was right to return to the TV spotlight — the amazing reception to the N-Dubz reunion tour really helped build her confidence.”
According to the publication’s source, Tulisa’s expansive career across two decades has a “wide audience” appeal which works well alongside I’m A Celeb’s diverse viewership.
“As well as everyone knowing her from The X Factor, her original music fanbase has boomed thanks to the N-Dubz reunion tour,” they went on to say.
However Tulisa and any other names being floated around right now are just guesswork and as a spokesperson for ITV has stated, they “are speculation.”
Tommy Fury

Tommy Fury was the first name rumoured to be entering the jungle in 2024 following his extremely public split from Molly-Mae Hague.
A show insider told the tabloids: “Tommy is a great name as a potential campmate as he’s already known to the ITV audience and he’d be brilliant in the Bushtucker Trials.
“Bosses are talking with lots of celebrities and are determined to make this year’s line-up one of the best.”
Another source added: “They also know that the super-fit boxer is likely to be a prime candidate for the annual hunk-in-the-jungle shower scenes.”
