Former England striker Wayne Rooney, Gavin and Stacey actor Joanna Page and Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson are among 11 campmates confirmed for this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The new series starts on ITV at 9pm on Monday 16 November, with Ant and Dec presenting from Australia.

Paralympian and presenter Ade Adepitan will be the first wheelchair user to take part, and producers are adapting the camp so he can get around it. He said in a statement that he felt slightly overwhelmed, and that he would always be remembered as the person in a wheelchair even if he left in the first week.

The full line-up is:

  • Ade Adepitan, Paralympic wheelchair basketball player and documentary presenter
  • Leomie Anderson, model
  • Chloe Burrows, Love Island finalist
  • Mariella Frostrup, broadcaster and journalist
  • AJ Odudu, Big Brother presenter
  • Joanna Page, who played Stacey in Gavin and Stacey
  • Wayne Rooney, former Manchester United and England striker, now a manager and pundit
  • Sharky, a member of the YouTube group Beta Squad
  • Jack Skipper, stand-up comedian
  • Claire Sweeney, former Brookside and Coronation Street actor
  • Ricky Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs frontman and former coach on The Voice UK
