While excited at the stars announced for All Stars, there some disappointment amongst fans over some notable absentees from the line-up, especially Joe Swash, after the ex King of the Jungle was widely reported to have taken part.
The involvement of 'late arrival;s' to All Stars has been strongly hinted at by Ant and Dec in one of the preview adverts and pretty much confirmed by Carol, with her referring to 'the first nine' celebs during an interview on Lorraine.
I'm A Celebrity All Stars late arrivals
Gillian McKeith - CONFIRMED
One of I'm A Celebrity's most iconic yet notorious contestants, Gillian fainted and complained her way through her stint Down Under, most notably collapsing during a live televised trial as a bemused Ant and Dec looked on.
Gillian's eventual inclusion on All Stars is said to have ITV bosses hoping for even more TV gold from the You Are What You Eat star, who will be seen making her entrance into camp on Tuesday night.
Joe Swash
The reason Joe's absence from the line-up came as so much of surprise is the fact he was pretty much 'confirmed' as being a contestant on All Stars by Loose Women star Linda Robson, when he appeared on the ITV show in October last year.
As he sat on the panel Birds of a Feather Linda asked the 2006 King of the Jungle: "You've been away for a little while haven't you?" Looking alarmed, Joe calmly replied: "Yeah I've been away for a little while Lind," as Linda continued: "You're not allowed to say where you was or what you were doing," as Joe joked: "I knew you'd get there in the end Lind!"
Realising what she'd done, Linda then shouted: "Change the subject!" with her colleague Judi Love commenting: "Never tell Linda any secrets!"
Myleene Klass
The former Hear'Say star first appeared on I'm A Celeb back in 2006, the year the show was won by Busted's Matt Willis.
She is said to have signed up for All Stars to make her family proud and so her kids can see her "roughing it".
Dean Gaffney
Another of the I'm A Celebrity class of 2006, Dean is most famous for playing Robbie Jackson in EastEnders.,
Commenting on his involvement in All Stars,. a source said: "Dean is regarded as one of the best contestants the show has ever had. When the All Stars show was first mooted he was a name that everyone wanted to get on board.’
Georgia Toffolo
Georgia won the hearts of the nation and the jungle crown, when she was voted the winner of I'm A Celebrity at the end of 2017, beating Iain Lee and Jamie Lomas in the final.
Discussing her coming back for All Stars, a source told THe sun: "Georgia was real TV gold in her year, and the viewers loved her. She absolutely romped home.
"She was one of the lowest-ever paid contestants but has done really well for herself off the back of it. She’ll be getting considerably more this time around, that’s for sure"
