The line-up for I'm A Celebrity 2023 has finally been announced, and it's certainly a star-studded one. The show will feature Nigel Farage, This Morning's Josie Gibson, Jamie Lynn Spears and Marvin Humes, as well as First Dates' Fred Sirieix and EastEnders actress Danielle Harold.
However, two sports stars that were rumoured to be a part of the line-up have yet to be announced, suggesting they could be this year's latecomers. Last year, comedian Seann Walsh and former health secretary Matt Hancock arrived in the jungle after the celebrities had already begun filming.
The two sports stars in question are world-famous jockey Frankie Dettori and former pro boxer Tony Bellew. Frankie, 52, has already jetted off to Australia to film the show, after rumours he was in 'advanced talks' to star on the programme. Meanwhile, Tony was one of the first names reported for this year's I'm A Celebrity.
However, filming was reportedly thrown into chaos after Coronation Street star Alan Halsall was forced to pull out of the series after undergoing knee surgery. A source said: 'It's a big blow, but there's no way he can go to Australia – his surgeon would have a fit. Alan needs to recover fully and then maybe he can take part next year.'
I'm A Celebrity starts on Sunday, November 19 at 9pm on ITV2. It will be interesting to see if Frankie and Tony will be joining the jungle late, or if they will be part of the original line-up. Either way, it's sure to be a season filled with drama and entertainment.
