The 37-year-old is heading back into the jungle 10 years after his first stint back in 2016, in a full-circle moment.
Fans know him for his roles as Adam Barton on Emmerdale and Donte Charles on Waterloo Road, with over 1 million followers on Instagram.
He did really well last time, making the final and finishing third, so it sounds like he’ll be aiming to go even further now.
Ashley Roberts

Ashley Roberts is having another go after narrowly missing out on the jungle crown back in 2012.
The 44-year-old made it all the way to the final before losing to Charlie Brooks, so this feels a bit like unfinished business.
Ashley already reckons this version will be harder, tougher and messier — and by the looks of the trailer, she may be right!
Scarlett Moffatt

Scarlett Moffatt is back in the jungle and reuniting with Adam Thomas, whom she famously beat to win in 2016.
Since then, her career’s gone from strength to strength, but this time it sounds a lot more personal.
The 35-year-old is now a mum, giving birth to her son Jude back in 2023 and wants to do the show for him.
David Haye

She originally appeared on the show’s ninth season, which took place in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was filmed in Wales, so this time round she will get a proper go at it.

Seann Walsh went into the jungle in 2022 but ended up being overshadowed a bit by Matt Hancock’s surprise run to third place.
Seann only finished fifth, which supposedly still bugs him.
The comedian is sure to bring a bit of laughter to the camp.
Sinitta

Sinitta is back in camp after first appearing on the show in 2011, which already makes her a fun wildcard this year.
Last time, the 62-year-old had everyone talking after opening up about her past romances with Brad Pitt and Simon Cowell.
So naturally, people will be hoping she’s got a bit more gossip up her sleeve this time too.
