Stars of I’m a celebrity have ‘little idea what they’re in for’

THE names of the stars taking place in this year’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have been revealed.

ITV bosses are yet to officially confirm the line-up.

Football legend Rodney Marsh was sacked from his job as a Sky Sports pundit in 2005 after making a bad taste joke about the Asian tsunami. And 90s pop duo Right Said Fred’s last brush with fame was an appearance in a washing powder advert.

The show starts on Monday. Producer Richard Cowles said of the celebrities: “They’ve little idea what they’re in for.”

Ant and Dec will again present the show, now in its seventh series, where the celebrities will try to spend two weeks in the Australian jungle before being voted out by the public.
