With a new year comes a new flock of celebrities to throw into the jungle!
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here returns to our airwaves later tonight, with a new batch of celebrities being thrown into the South African jungle. Legendary Australian icons Julia Morris and Robert Irwin return as hosts of what they claim is the toughest season yet.
Season 12 will throw ten celebrities into the South African jungle to see if they have what it takes to survive. But before the new season starts you should meet our new contestants. From TV stars to supermodels to former NRL players there is a safe bet you know at least one of these contestants.

This is also not her first time appearing on our screens as she’s recently participated in Taskmaster Australia. She’s made it known she’s scared of spiders, cockroaches, closed spaces, heights and the dark so she’s in for a rough time.

This 90’s pop star has made it known amongst her campmates that’s she’s not here to mess around. Bluntly telling the audience that her hit track That Word (L-o-v-e) is one that she has come to hate and anyone hoping to see her sing and shy from a challenge are going to be disappointed.

A supermodel from across the pond in New Zealand, Rachel Hunter was the first one revealed for the newest season. She however seems to already be questioning her decisions as she’s stated she doesn’t understand why she agreed to take part in the series as she isn’t a fan of spiders or snakes. Despite this she has shared that she is a very curious person so who knows how she will fare in the contest.

The stand up comedian Nath Valvo is also joining the fun this season, though he might be in for a tough time as during his interview he shared: “Everything scares me. I’m scared of the sun. I’m scared of the outdoors. I’m scared of most animals. I’m scared of heights. I’m scared of small talk. I’m scared of boring people. So, look, won’t lie, not sure about doing this… People keep asking me why I’m going to the jungle, and to be very serious just for one moment, it’s because I’m poor. Stand-up comedy does not pay well.”
