I’m A Celebrity star ‘faces major blow’ days before ITV series launch

An I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star is already facing a major blow before even entering the jungle.

The official line-up this year includes Coleen Rooney, GK Barry, Tulisa and Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse.

One star will be facing their fears across three weeks to make it to the very end and be crowned champion, following in the footsteps of last year’s winner Sam Thompson.

But others won’t last through Ant and Dec’s grim bushtucker trials, either by being voted out in the coming weeks, or quitting.

In the past, Gemma Collins, Olivia Attwood, Katie Price and Richard Madeley have all quit the series, followed by Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears last year.

It’s now been revealed that Jane Moore is the likeliest to walk out of the reality show, with BonusFinder releasing odds on who is tipped to leave.

The Loose Women panellist stands at odds of 8/15 to quit, making her the most likely, behind Melvin Odoom at 1/1, GK Barry at 2/1 and Alan Halsall – who has been suffering from an injury – at 8/1.

On the other end, Coleen is the least likeliest to quit, at odds of 25/1, while Tulisa stands at 20/1.

Loose Women star Jane is following in the footsteps of her colleagues like Linda Robson and Janet Street-Porter on I’m A Celebrity.

The panellist and journalist, 62, said she’s hoping to bring debates and ‘good chats’ to the camp, and is looking forward to time away from her phone and laptop.

‘I have never done a reality show before and I’ve always said when we talk
about these things on Loose Women that this programme would be the one. I like an adventure and it appeals to me,’ she said.

Jane added that although she sees herself as ‘a gutsy person’, she’s preparing herself for the spiders, critters and eating challenges, laughing: ‘Vomit live on TV – now that is a career highlight!’

‘Physical reactions and emotions are something you can’t control,’ she went on.

‘And how you think you are going to react could be different. And so I could end up having a good blub!’

According to reports, it’s been claimed in the past that a campmate must stay in the jungle for at least 72 hours to earn their full fee.

ITV declined to comment when previously contacted by  to confirm if this was accurate, with a spokesperson saying they never discuss artists’ contracts as they’re ‘private and personal.’

Salaries of the I’m A Celebrity cast vary, with Nigel Farage reportedly the highest earning campmate ever on a £1.5million fee, while it’s since been claimed Coleen could rake in £5million from other ventures after her stint in the jungle.
