From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The latest series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here is almost upon us, and a brand new promo shows Holly Willoughby alongside Declan Donnelly for the first time.

Donnelly is returning to host the 18th series alongside This Morning host Willoughby. It'll be the first series without Ant McPartlin who has taken a hiatus from presenting to battle a number of personal problems.

Earlier this week, the full lineup was confirmed with football manager Harry Redknapp, Torchwood star John Barrowman and X Factor favourite Fleur East leading this year’s contestants.

James McVey, who found fame as part of boy band The Vamps, will also appear with soap stars Sair Khan (Coronation Street), Rita Simons (EastEnders) and Malique Thompson-Dwyer (Hollyoaks) all primed for Bushtucker Trials.

Unverified reports claim that Deal or No Deal presenter Noel Edmonds will be this year's secret campmate, reportedly signing up for £500,000 - the most money the ITV show has ever paid for a celebrity.

Who else will feature? You can see all ten of this year’s jungle-ready celebrities – including a few renowned British TV personalities – in their camping gear below.

Speaking about his decision to sign up to the long-running reality series, former Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham manager Redknapp, 71, said: “My wife thinks I am mad. She has seen the show and she has told me I should watch it before I do it.”

Previous winners include Christopher Biggins, Westlife singer Kian Egan and Made In Chelsea’s Georgia “Toff” Toffolo.

I’m A Celebrity 2018 begins on 18 November at 9pm on ITV.
