Your support makes all the difference.The 2024 cast of I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! have not had an easy start, with tonight’s launch episode landing them right in the action.
Among this year’s contestants are N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall and Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse. Others joining them are Coleen Rooney, McFly singer Danny Jones, and boxer Barry McGuigan.
The first episode of the season saw the cast take part in a series of challenges, with Tulisa and Halsall emerging victorious after a heated race involcing cockroaches, capsized canoes, and blended fish eye cocktails
Fans singled out Dean McCullough as an early favourite after the BBC Radio 1 presenter made a “hilarious” joke about fellow campmate Coleen Rooney’s “Wagatha Christie” trial.
In the first vote of the season, viewers have selected GK Barry to take part in the next episode’s Vile Volcano challenge.
New episodes of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV1 and ITVX every night, typically at 9pm.
The camp looks as if it’s been given a bit of a revamp!
Love the new camp, looks incredible and looks a lot more smaller to! #imaceleb

Jane and GK Barry surrender
They gave it their all, but these Loose Women stars have had enough – out the river and over to camp!
Barry has found the key!
Barry and Danny are off in hot pursuit of that coveted prize
Going under!
Early leaders Coleen and Dean may be dead in the water after capsizing their canoe!
It’s fair to say GK Barry is not a fan of cockroaches, but Coleen and Barry seem to be keeping their cool!
