I'm a Celebrity's Ant and Dec share announcement - and it's not good news for GK Barry

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is and the next contestant to face the Bushtucker Trial has been announced.

On Sunday, November 17, hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly introduced 10 new celebrities to the challenging ITV show.

This year's lineup includes dancer Oti Mabuse, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, Loose Women panelist Jane Moore, Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough, N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos, DJ Melvin Odoom, TV personality Coleen Rooney, former boxing champion Barry McGuigan, content creator GK Barry, and McFly's Danny Jones.

At the end of the episode, Ant and Dec revealed that GK Barry, chosen by the public, would be taking on The Vile Volcano challenge to earn stars for the group.

According to online bookmaker Betway, Danny Jones is currently the favourite to win this year's series, with Alan Halsall and GK Barry also among the top contenders, reports the Express.

Mike Reading, a spokesperson for Betway, commented: "I'm A Celebrity is renowned for gathering a mix of reality stars, soap actors, athletes, and big personalities, and this year's line-up appears to follow suit."

He added: "McFly seem to have the magic touch when it comes to reality TV, with bassist Dougie Poynter taking home the jungle crown in 2011, and drummer Harry Judd snagging the Strictly Come Dancing Glitterball Trophy the same year."

Although it's not yet official, there's growing speculation that Love Island's Maura Higgins could be in the running to become Queen of the Jungle, with rumours suggesting she and Reverend Richard Coles might join as latecomers.

Mike commented: "Both GK Barry and Maura Higgins are known for their humour and outspoken opinions, and with Maura dating Pete Wicks - could he be celebrating the win of someone else close to him, after best pal Sam Thompson was crowned King of the Jungle last year?".

I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
