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 the 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 include McFly singer Danny Jones, boxer Barry McGuigan and Coleen Rooney, who is the show’s highest-paid star in its history.
The first episode of the new series saw the cast take part in a series of challenges, with Contostavlos and Halsall emerging victorious after a heated race involcing cockroaches, capsized canoes, and blended fish eye cocktails

In the first vote of the series, viewers have selected GK Barry to take part in the next episode’s Bushtucker Trial, which is called Vile Volcano.
