I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is upon us, and a suspicious number of stars have conveniently landed in Australia.

With less than a week to go, everyone is trying to figure out who will be in the jungle for this year’s series of the ITV reality show, with some big names being floated around.

As the rumours swirl, Kelly Brook has already been spotted arriving at Brisbane airport days before I’m A Celeb gets underway.

She was beaming in a vibrant yellow midi dress and gold heels, perhaps making the most of the freedom before she swaps her stylish outfit for the typical camp attire.

Multiple reports have suggested the Heart FM presenter has agreed a deal to join the ITV series, having previously shrugged off the idea.

She’s not the only star seen landing Down Under over the last couple of days, with many more expected this week.

 Shona McGarty has also been snapped at Brisbane Airport, suggesting it could be an exciting year for soap fans.

She’s been among the rumoured names for a while now, having left EastEnders in 2024 after a 16-year stint, and there were reports as early as May that she was in ‘advanced talks’ for the show.

Shona was beaming as she arrived in Australia, in athletic shorts, black baseball cap and a bold pink blouse as she carried a large handbag over her shoulder.

Shona is not alone in the soap world, as none other than Lisa Riley seen smiling as she pushed luggage trolley through the airport.

She’s spent years turning down I’m A Celeb due to her Emmerdale commitments, but she teased her 50th birthday – which comes in July – as a fitting ‘milestone’ to finally tackle the jungle.

Meanwhile, rapper Aitch has also been spotted in Brisbane, making him the first male celebrity to be seen arriving for the show.

He went low-key, sporting a tracksuit, hoody, shades and a baseball cap as he walked through the airport.

Who else has landed in Australia early before I’m A Celeb?

EMBARGOED: WEDNESDAY 8TH OCTOBER, 19:45 - Prime Video Sends Kaleb to Australia in New Solo Adventure

Clarkson’s Farm Kaleb Cooper is in Australia, and he’s already having some fun with fans before I’m A Celebrity gets underway.

‘Just looked at the map for where I am and I must say I’m very close to the I’m A Celeb camp site,’ he wrote on his Instagram Story with a wink emoji.

He marked his location as Australia, which makes sense as he’s currently busy filming new show Kaleb: Down Under.

The series will see him exploring one of the world’s biggest farming markets – so he might be a bit too busy to stop by the jungle.

When does I’m A Celebrity start?
