I'm a Celebrity with Right Said Fred and a Pantomime Dame


Yes, it’s that time of the year again. Love it or hate it, ITV1’s popular celebrities -in-the jungle reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is back!

Presented once again by Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnely (who continue in their quest for world television domination!), this year’s so-called celebrity contestants began arriving in Australia last night – to torrential rain!

Speculation has been rife for months about the star-studded line up. Although ITV haven’t officially confirmed the celebrity line-up, the British press has today revealed which celebrities are tipped to be roughing it in the Australian jungle. Heading the list is openly bisexual British singer Richard Fairbrass and his brother, Fred. The brothers were the founding members of novelty camp pop group Right Said Fred and they had a massive chart hit with their single "I’m Too Sexy" back in 1991.

Also heading down under is openly gay television presenter and pantomime dame Christopher Biggins (pictured at top playing Nero in I, Claudius). Biggins, who is perhaps best known for The Rocky Horror Picture Show and children’s TV program Rentaghost, has worked with the RSC and even had a cameo on ITV1's popular prison drama Bad Girls.

There’s also rumored to be some pretty decent man candy too, in the shape of former Eastender’s actor Marc Bannerman and Jason “J” Brown, who was a member of British boyband Five.

Oh, and bitchy US model Janice Dickinson is apparently also part of the line-up. Be afraid. Be very afraid!

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! starts on ITV1 on Monday November 12. In the meantime, here's a few pictures to feast your eyes upon...
