I'm a Celebrity 2018: Emily Atack to tackle first Bushtucker trial as Harry Redknapp and Nick Knowles enter camp
This year’s camp mates include former X Factor contestant Fleur East and The Chase star Anne Hegarty
I’m a Celebrity returned to to ITV on Sunday night (18 November) with a new bunch of celebrities that’ll no doubt be chomping on witchetty grubs.
This year’s camp mates include former football manager Harry Redknapp, The Chase star Anne Hegarty and John Barrowman (Torchwood). DIY SOS’s Nick Knowles, soap star Sair Khan (Coronation Street) and James McVey from boy band The Vamps also feature.
Recent reports have also claimed that British presenter Noel Edmonds will enter the Australian jungle as this year’s secret camp mate. Bosses are said to have offered him £500,000 to take part – the most money the ITV show has ever paid for a celebrity.
Declan Donnelly kicked off the 18th series without his trusted partner, Ant McPartlin, who has taken a hiatus from presenting to battle a number of personal problems. He’s replaced by This Morning host Holly Willoughby.

I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here continues nightly on ITV at 9pm
The opening credit poses never get any less embarrassing, do they?
Ant will be missed, but Dec and Holly are already doing extremely well.
Next up is Rita Simons and yes, she's right - I only know her as Roxy from EastEnders.
The soap star ratio has just increased with the addition of Sair Khan from Corrie.
I did not think The Vamps played their own instruments so fair play to guitarist James McVey who's already one of the bookies favourites to win
So, Sair, John, Rita and James have been split into two teams, and they're each going to select their campmates after a series of head-to-head tasks. Kangaroo anus's are already a stones throw away.
Anyone reckon Rita Simons' kids are absolutely loving their mum being paired up with James?
I gotta say this is one TV show I would never sign up for if I were famous.
