I'm A Celeb line-up confirmed as official pictures are finally released
The wait is finally over as I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has finally released the first official photos of this year's campmates.
ITV viewers have been eagerly-anticipating snaps of this year's line-up rocking their red socks and khaki kit combo as we count down the days until we see the chosen celebs take on the gruesome Bushtucker Trials and creepy-crawly camp visitors, alongside Ant and Dec's shenanigans, as they try to navigate all-round jungle chaos Down Under in the hopes of being crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.
I'm A Celeb fans seem to also be particularly invested in how Coleen Rooney will fare in the jungle - especially after the whole Wagatha Christie scandal...

Joining Coleen this year will be McFly star Danny Jones, Strictly Come Dancing legend Oti Mabuse, Loose Women star Jane Moore, Radio 1's Dean McCullough, N-Dubz singer Tulisa and boxing promoter Barry McGuigan.
The likes of Radio DJ Melvin Odoom, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, Love Island icon Maura Higgins, BBC radio host Rev Richard Coles and internet sensation GK Barry will also be joining the mix.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at each of the 10 contestants' official photos as they prepare themselves for the experience of a lifetime.
Coleen Rooney
We are absolutely buzzing to see what Coleen Rooney, 38, gets up to this year on I'm A Celeb - especially after the whole Wagatha Christie scandal.
"ITV bosses hope Coleen will spill the beans on life with hubby Wayne and her epic fallout with Rebekah Vardy, who starred in the show back in 2017," The Sun reports.
A source added: "I’m A Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup."
Indeed they have!
Oti Mabuse
Strictly Come Dancing fans will remember the absolutely incredible dancer that is Oti Mabuse, who quit the show back in 2022 after winning the glitterball twice.
The 34-year-old has since gone on to become one of ITV’s biggest names as a judge on Dancing on Ice.
An ITV insider said: "Oti is a brilliant name for I’m A Celebrity, she’s hugely popular and well liked by the ITV audience so bosses are over the moon she could be a campmate this year.
"She’s very much seen as being part of the ITV family of stars and is always guaranteed to be great fun."
Alan Halsall
While the 42-year-old Coronation Street star was forced to pull out of entering I'm A Celeb last year after undergoing ACL Reconstruction surgery, he's now signed up to give it all he's got in this year's series.
A source said: "Tyrone is one of Corrie’s most-loved characters so Alan comes with a ready-made fan base.
"Sometimes soap actors who are known for their iconic roles don’t quite translate once in camp - Adam Woodyatt being one recent example.
"But Alan is a top lad with bags of personality so ITV are over the moon he's signed up again."
Jane Moore
Loose Women star, Jane Moor, 62, will also be joining the jungle this year and is 'ready for a new challenge' after recently splitting with her husband.
"After a transformative few years, Jane is stepping out of her comfort zone and will tackle creepy crawlies and starvation rations in Australia," The Sun reports.
Dean McCullough
Radio 1 rising star, Dean McCullough, 32, will also be going Down Under in the hopes of being crowed King of the Jungle.
According to The Sun, ITV bosses are 'hoping he'll add drama and hilarious banter to the camp'.
A source added: "Dean isn’t known for being a shrinking violet and is sure to be outspoken — plus he’s one of the youngest men lined up for the show so far."
Tulisa Contostavlos
The 36-year-old N-Dubz singer and former X Factor judge, Tulisa, will be making her comeback to the screen this year on the beloved programme.
A source said: "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."
Melvin Odoom
ITV viewers can also look forward to seeing Radio DJ, Melvin Odoom, give his all after previously turning down an appearance on the show back in 2021.
"I think it's an amazing show to watch," the 44-year-old said at the time.
"I think it's so entertaining, but I don't think I could hack being in the jungle. I'd be too, too scared."
Barry McGuigan
Next is 63-year-old boxing promoter, Barry McGuigan, who previously mocked Amir Khan after he failed a pretty gruesome Bushtucker Trial back in 2017.
I guess we'll have to simply wait and see how he ends up faring.
GK Barry
ITV can also look forward to watching the 25-year-old internet sensation that is GK Barry.
The presenter and YouTuber boasts a huge fanbase from her viral interviews and social media posts.
Additionally, she's chatted to the likes of Alison Hammond, Madison Beer and Rob Beckett on her Saving Grace podcast.
She's also become a regular on ITV’s Loose Women panel.
Danny Jones
And last but not least is is McFly star, Danny Jones which makes him the second member of the hit boyband to enter the show after Dougie Poynter won it back in 2011.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is set to hit our screens this Sunday (17 November).
