Dennis said: “To win the Jungle? It would be lovely but I am not sure I am going to be the winner of this show. I’ve upset too many football supporters over the years. But maybe Chelsea fans will vote for me.”

Best known for: Being a YouTube vlogger!

Jack said: “There are going to be people going ‘Who is this kid?’ but on YouTube I am very much myself and I will bring that personality to the camp,” he reveals. “I do feel lucky to be in this position and of course, I think everyone will hit the wall at some point but you do have to remember what an amazing show you are on.”

Best known for: Being a stand-up comedian, appearing on shows like Just a Minute and QI.

Shappi said: “It would be amazing to win this. The only thing I have won before is the egg and spoon race in 1981. But when I am in there, I don’t want to see other people as competitors. That would take the fun away. It is not what I am about and why I am in there.”

Amir Khan, 30

Best known for: Being a former world boxing champion.

Amir said: "“I am one guy who hates spiders. Whenever I see a spider at home, I get my sister to move it. I just don’t deal with it. I hope I don’t come across any of them when I am in the Jungle but I know I am going to. Will I scream? Yes definitely but maybe this is the time where I face my phobias! I also hate snakes and heights too.”

Stanley Johnson, 77

Stanley said: “I have to tell you I have never watched the show. It’s all totally new to me, I know absolutely nothing about it but I’ve been told about it and obviously I am ready to give it a go. I don’t think I am dreading anything. I am looking forward to being with the fellow competitors, contestants. I say that because it is a competition isn’t it?”

Vanessa White, 28

Vanessa said: “I told the rest of the group just before I went to Australia. I kept it a secret for ages but I had to tell them in the end as I really wanted to. I just know they will vote for me to do the trials, as they will want to see me scream and shout.”
