The I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! cast are beginning to settle into jungle life as they enter their third day at camp.
Monday night’s episode saw GK Barry become a fan favourite contestant when she successfully took on the “Vile Volcano” Bushtucker trial. Elsewhere, Coleen Rooney dished out juicy details surrounding her infamous “Wagatha Christie” trial, while the rest of the campmates started bonding.
During one emotional campsite chat, boxer Barry McGuigan broke down in tears as he opened up about the loss of his daughter, Danika, while Rooney reflected on the death of her sister, who died when she was 14.
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, McGuigan and Rooney, who is the show’s highest-paid star in its history.
Radio DJ Dean McCullough will be facing the Bushtucker trial during Tuesday night’s episode following a public vote.
New episodes of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! air on ITV1 and ITVX every night at 9pm.
Why Tulisa left the spotlight
The N-Dubz singer hasn’t had an easy time in the spotlight over the years.

Forget disgraced politicians – Tulisa is the I’m a Celeb contestant who deserves redemption the most
The singer, who rose to fame as one-third of the hip-hop group N-Dubz, is entering the I’m a Celeb jungle this week already a survivor of sorts. When she was 26, Tulisa said she felt as though she’d clocked 60 years of life experience – a good chunk of those not positive. The highlights (or lowlights rather) being: the lurid leaking of a sex tape, a drug sting operation by a tabloid, and of course, the good old-fashioned misogyny and classism inherent to being a working-class woman in the public eye. Eating a platter of raw fisheyes? It’ll be a cakewalk in comparison.

I’m a Celebrity 2024: How much are contestants being paid?
The reality TV juggernaut has been a fixture on screens since 2002 and, over the years, the amount of money paid to the participating contestants has exponentially increased.
This gap has widened even more in the last four years alone, with Noel Edmonds, the one-time highest-paid star, receiving £600,000 for what ended up being just one week in the jungle in 2019.
The 2024 line-up features celebrities ranging from singers Danny Jones (McFly) and Tulisa (N-Dubz) to Loose Women panellist Jane Moore and Love Island’s Maura Higgins.
