Charlie Brooks, The Rock set for I'm a Celeb?

Charlie Brooks is rumoured to have signed up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The EastEnders actress is one of the 12 stars heading Down Under when the ITV1 reality show returns later this month, reported the Daily Mirror. It's thought she will join stars including former Corrie actress Helen Flanagan, Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, ex-Doctor Who star Colin Baker, Ladette To Lady cook Rosemary Schrager, darts champ Eric Bristow, boxer David Haye, Birds Of A Feather star Linda Robson and Made In Chelsea's Hugo Taylor. Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and an unnamed 70s pop star are also tipped to enter the jungle. An ITV source said: "Producers are delighted with this year's line-up. They feel that there is a really good mix. They've been trying to find the right celebrities for a few months now and are pleased with who they have selected." The insider added that TV bosses are thrilled to have landed Albert Square star Charlie, calling it 'a real coup'. "She has been on TV since she was young and they're looking forward to the public seeing what she's really like," the source said. I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! returns to ITV1 on Sunday, November 11, and will again be hosted by Ant and Dec.
