I'm a Celebrity 2019: Meet the famous faces entering the jungle

Age: 70

How You'd Know Her: Olympian, Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and activist

Why She's Going In: "I hope the UK loves me! I will go into the Jungle with a good attitude and a good sense of humour."

Biggest Fear: "Dealing with other people is by far the hardest thing. It’s much more difficult than dealing with the most poisonous snakes in the world. That’s easy – just stay away from them!"

Age: 56

How You'd Know Him: Sports broadcaster and former England national football team and Arsenal legend

Why He's Going In: "[Jungle king] Harry [Redknapp] and I play golf together and we spoke about it. He had a really great time, it was a fantastic thing for him to do and he is still talking about it to this day!”

Biggest Fear: "Some of those things (snakes, rats and creepy crawlies) will make me squirm but I will deal with them when I am in there!"

Age: 34

How You'd Know Her: Girls Aloud. Duh.

Why She's Going In: "I really hope that by doing this, it pushes me so far out the comfort zone and that I learn to be comfortable, feel relaxed and do the things that I didn't used to be afraid of."

Biggest Fear: "Heights, rats, snakes – everything!"

Age: 28

How You'd Know Him: X Factor band Rak-Su

Why He's Going In: “I am a massive fan of the show and Ant and Dec. They were the reason I was a Newcastle FC fan initially growing up! Spending time with them and potentially people you have idolised over the years is so exciting."

Biggest Fear: "Bugs and spiders – I have to get my family members to get rid of them for me!"

Age: 40

How You'd Know Her: Radio 1 DJ and former Big Brother housemate

Why She's Going In: "I would never let the stick go [if I won]. I will carry on wearing the hat for the rest of my life."

Biggest Fear: "I hate spiders. If I see one, I can't speak, I freeze and I do this weird thing where I wring my hands together!"

Age: 44

How You'd Know Him: Stand-up comedian and narrator of Ex on the Beach

Why He's Going In: "I am really looking forward to being in Australia and being part of this year's I'm a Celebrity. It was a no-brainer when they asked me and I said 'yes' immediately."

Biggest Fear: "I don't like the look of any of those guys – the insects and creepy crawlies!"

Age: 27

How You'd Know Her: Played one of the Lauren Brannings on EastEnders

Why She's Going In: "I am really excited. This is something completely different and it's going to be a totally new experience. I am also looking forward to not being on my phone and Instagram all the time. It will be a detox for me."

Biggest Fear: "I am scared of everything – especially spiders! They are the worst, there will be tears."

Age: 26

How You'd Know Him: Capital FM presenter and son of ex-EastEnder/Spandau Ballet star Martin

Why He's Going In: "I love this programme so much. I love it when it kicks off with the first show and you see Ant and Dec arrive."

Biggest Fear: “Some of the fears I have got are odd. I have got a strange fear of cotton wool. Why am I scared? It's the texture and sound of it. I can't even talk about it without getting scared and I definitely can't touch it!”

Age: 34

How You'd Know Him: Rugby star

Why He's Going In: "To be asked is such a special opportunity. You will get to test yourself in amazing surroundings and find out a little bit more about yourself. I am excited."

Biggest Fear: "The mental side of things can be very tough and I am going in with an open mind. I also think there will be an expectation that I will be good at challenges as maybe I look the part physically but I might be absolutely terrified."

Age: 52

How You'd Know Her: Journalist from Good Morning Britain

Why She's Going In: "I am excited about doing the show because as you get older, you realise you don't get many chances for pure adventure in life. I am going to give it a good shot and everyone can have a laugh and I hope it takes their mind off Brexit!"

Biggest Fear: “I am terrified of all of the things in the Jungle, especially heights – it is the crazy heights on thin bits suspended on bits of metal or wood. Or if you are in a little box with creepy crawlies or snakes in it!"
