She added: “I don’t think I will get too bored as if I am with lots of people, like I will be in camp, then I think we can have a laugh together. It’s actually going to be nice being in one spot for a change as I travel a lot.”

Fred Sirieix, best known for appearing on Channel 4’s First Dates, has prepared extensively for his upcoming time in the jungle.

“I go to the gym, I go to boxing, I train like a machine – that’s my way to cope with doing I’m A Celebrity. This isn’t a 100m race. You are going in for the long haul.”

Farage explained his decision to enter the jungle saying: “I understood why Matt Hancock did it. He went in there with his reputation on the floor.

“The truth is after the banking issue I raised a few months ago, I was standing up for a million people who had lost their bank accounts, then winning at the TRIC awards, I am going in at a different stage of my career.”

Grace Dent – Food critic

Popular MasterChef UK food critic Grace Dent revealed she is “absolutely dreading” the camp diet but promised to give the famous rice and beans full marks.

“Everything is filling me with a real sense of dread,” admits Grace. “But I am especially dreading being really hungry because I tend to eat four or five posh meals out a week because I am a restaurant critic.

“I know they are going to give me an eating trial and I am dreading putting even worse things in my mouth than I have in the past in fancy restaurants! I think I will be writing very stiff columns about the jungle food when I come out!”

Marvin Humes – Pop star and TV presenter

JLS star Marvin Humes revealed that his wife, Rochelle, thought he was playing a prank on her when he told her plans to enter I’m A Celebrity.

Marvin shared that although he has just finished a tour with JLS, he has not shared the news with his bandmates.

“It’s been so hard keeping it a secret from them, and when they find out, they are not going to believe it,” he said.

Danielle Harold – EastEnders actress

Award-winning EastEnders actress Danielle Harold admitted her fear of rats, calling them “petrifying”.

She added that taking part in I’m a Celebrity has given her the chance to show people who is she behind her character.

Nick Pickard – Hollyoaks actor

Nick Pickard has played Tony Hutchinson on Hollyoak’s since its first ever episode in 1995.

He called his adventure into the jungle the “opportunity of a lifetime” and said: “Now it is getting near to going into camp, I am so excited. I am obviously not looking forward to eating kangaroo balls but at the same time, I am looking forward to the trials – that’s the fun part of doing this show.”
