Barry McGuigan Is The Oldest I’m A Celebrity 2024 Campmate at 63 Years-old
At 63 years-old Barry McGuigan, who was rumoured to be a late replacement for ex-footballer Ally McCoist, will be the oldest 2024 I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here campmate.
McGuigan is now a boxing promoter and commentator and said ahead of his jungle entry.
“I don’t exactly enjoy hanging out with rats and snakes and spiders… but I don’t have a phobia of any of them”
“I would imagine I’ll be one of the elders… I’d like to think I’d be someone who would act as a ‘calmer downer’, if you like.”
“I’m determined. But maybe as I’m getting older, I’m getting more irritable. It’s just a natural thing, an age thing. I’m more irritable than I was 30 / 40 years ago, put it that way.”
GK Barry Is The Youngest I’m A Celebrity 2024 Campmate at 24 Years-Old
GK Barry might not be a name familiar with a lot of I’m A Celebrity fans – with many probably shouting at their screen “who is she?” when the class of 2024 get plonked in the jungle on Sunday 17th November.
But she is also the baby of the group this year and is actually the youngest by some way. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how that pans out.
At just 24 years-old GK Barry is a full 6 years younger than the second youngest when looking at the 2024 I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here ages. With radio presenter Dean McCullough (32) the closest to her in terms of age.
GK Barry is also one of the second favourites with the best betting sites in the UK to win the show.
Will There By A I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here Birthday In 2024?
Last year boxer Tony Bellew celebrated his birthday in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here jungle.
Looking at the date of births for the 12 campmates in 2024 – the good news is that we might have another.
Love Island star Maura Higgins, who is rumoured to be one of the late entries, has a birthday on 25th November.
Therefore, if the gossip is correct (and she’s still in the jungle) – we could be witnessing a 2024 I’m A Celebrity birthday.
Who Is The Oldest I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here Contestant EVER?
With Barry McGuigan the oldest 2024 I’m A Celebrity campmate – we also WON’T see the oldest winner record broken. Or even the oldest ever contestant.
This is because Arlene Phillips at 78 was the oldest campmate in 2021. But was the first to be voted out that year.
We’ve also had Boris Johnson’s dad, Stanley at 77 years-old in 2017 in the show.
Harry Redknapp Still The Oldest Ever I’m A Celebrity Winner
Back in 2018, former Tottenham football manager Harry Redknapp was crowed ‘King of the Jungle’ after wowing the ITV I’m A Celebrity fans with his ‘jam roly-poly’ antics and giving viewers a glimpse into his private life and stories with his wife Sandra.
At the time of his jungle experience Redknapp was 71 year-old when he won I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.
Harry Redknapp remains the oldest ever winner I’m A Celebrity winner.
Tony Blackburn won the first ever I’m A Celebrity in 2002, but he was aged 59 at the time.
When Is The 2024 I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Final?
The ITV show is expected to finish on Sunday 8th December 2024 with the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here final. However, this is not confirmed as yet.
With the show starting on Sunday 17th November, it normally runs for three weeks. Which will bring the final to December 8th.
The final week of the show will see campmates voted off the show by the general public. Until there are just three left for the final.
Then the King or Queen of the Jungle for 2024 will be announced live by regular hosts Ant and Dec.
Last year in 2023 we saw Sam Thompson crowed King Of The Jungle
