I’m a Celebrity lineup announced – but two contestants are missing
They were spotted at a photoshoot for the new series last month
The lineup of I'm a Celebrity 2020 has been announced, but it seems to be missing two names.
Ahead of this year's series, ITV released the names of the celebrities who'll be taking part in the Wales-set series
The majority of them had already been reported, but fans were left confused when two other people who were rumoured to be joining the show failed to be mentioned.
These celebrities were tenor Russell Watson and actor Ruthie Henshall.
The pair were photographed with all of the other announced contestants, including Shane Richie and Sir Mo Farah, at a photoshoot for the show in London last month.
According to Mirror Online, Watson and Henshall are still joining the show, but will be late entrants just like Noel Edmonds was last year.
“Every year there are one or two late entries as wild cards and this year, with the coronavirus, at least a couple of celebrities have been held back in case anyone has to pull out," a source said.
"Just because Russell and Ruthie are not going into the show at the beginning, it does not mean they are not going to be campmates."

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! returns to ITV1 this Sunday at 9pm.
