Noel Edmonds is heading to the jungle as a late addition to the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! line-up.

The Deal or No Deal host, famed as much for his controversial beliefs as his stirng of hit shows, will be joining the likes of Harry Redknapp, Nick Knowles and Anne Hegerty,

‘ITV was desperate to get Noel – he’s a huge name to secure and everyone has high hopes he’ll pull in plenty of ratings,’ a source told Mirror Online.

And Phillip Schofield appeared to confirm new arrivals will be descending on the unsuspecting campmates during today’s This Morning, as his best pal Holly Willouighby gears up for her first stint on the show.




‘There are always the ones that come in later… maybe,’ he teased as Rochelle grilled him on it.

‘I couldn’t possibly say,’ he grinned. ‘I am safe as houses when it comes to information like this. Holly Willoughby swore me to secrecy.’
