This Morning's Josie Gibson, First Dates' Fred Sirieix and EastEnders' Danielle Haroldare also reportedly going to be contestants on the show.

The ITV programme is returning from Australia on Sunday 19 November.

The line-up has been reported by the Sun but is not yet confirmed by ITV.

Hosted once again by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, it will see the contestants competing for rations and survival on the show, by completing gruesome Bushtucker trials in the jungle.

Here is the list of contestants reported in The Sun on Friday:

Dent, who has also written books and hosts her own podcast, wrote about I'm a Celebrity in 2012 that it was a "puerile venture into starvation, televised constipation and animal cruelty" but she then admitted that "invariably, I do watch".

Jockey Frankie Dettori retired in October, after more than 4,000 wins in a career that started in the 1980s.

He admitted he would find leaving the sport hard after securing his 500th win at Newmarket in October.

He went on to announce he was selling items from his career including trophies and racing silks.
