I’M A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier has nailed its full line-up, with a Nineties popstar and her brother – along with two huge influencers – coming on board Ant and Dec’s huge new ITV show.

The series is a spin-off of the main I’m A Celeb show and sees celebs compete in pairs to navigate tough trials and new terrain in a bid not to be voted out of camp.
Set on Canadian soil, little is known about the new show, which will run across 15 episodes early next year – with one pair crowned the winners.

Between them, Paul and Jeremy have over 42.5million followers on Instagram and TikTok and are two of the most popular content creators online.
Paul, who played professional rugby before making it big as an influencer, has previously worked as a body double for athletes including Usain Bolt and Anthony Joshua.
He’s also appeared in ITV comedy Deep Heat and been a presenter on the BBC’s Go Hard Or Go Home.
Paul is teaming up with Jeremy, a football freestyler who should be a whizz at the show’s trials thanks to his fancy footwork.
As well as being huge on social media, fans may remember Paul from Britain’s Got Talent, where he made the semi finals in 2008 by performing his incredible tricks to tracks by Elvis Presley and Beyonce.
A source added: “ITV have an amazing knack of casting brilliant influencers and these two are the perfect signing for I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier.
“They have a huge following and ITV think their fans are going to love seeing Paul and Jeremy doing something different.”

Brian has links to the show through his ex-wife Kerry Katona, who won the normal series of the show back in 2004.
A source said: “Bosses are delighted that Keith and Brian will be taking part, they’ll each bring a lot of fun and mischief to the camp.
“Everyone’s really excited about this new format, the pairs element will get everyone talking.”

After Dancing On Ice was shelved, ITV offered former judges Christopher, 68, and Karen, 65, a place in I’m A Celebrity: Wild Frontier.
The Sun first confirmed the pair had signed up to I’m A Celebrity…The Wild Frontier earlier this week, after Chris initially joined the mix for the main series.
A source said: “ITV bosses had a meeting and decided to move him to the new doubles show.
“Now Dancing On Ice is over and with his 70th birthday approaching, Christopher wanted to find something that would challenge him.
“Karen is absolutely raring to go, too. It’s going to be an amazing experience for both of them.”
The professional ice dancers grew close as judges on Dancing On Ice, before they started dating in 2011.
