I’m A Celebrity 2024’s line-up is the best ever and could be biggest series yet – and not for the reason you think

ITV's flagship amusement felt dangerously adjacent to being renamed 'I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Famous (Again)' aft being overrun by shamed politicians and TV has-beens - but I'm hopeful 2024's line-up could marque this bid the biggest and champion yet.

For 2 decades, Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly's elite world bid has entertained millions - torturing celebrated faces with their worst nightmares portion surviving connected atom and beans. 

In years gone by we've seen the likes of Kim Kardashian's superstar step-dad Caitlyn Jenner (formerly known arsenic Bruce) dishing the ungraded connected OJ Simpson Down Under arsenic she earned each penny of her six-figure wage deal.

But we've since grown utilized to arguable characters (ex-MP Matt Hancock), retired sportsmen (Frankie Dettori) and the relatives of celebrated stars (Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn) utilizing the jungle arsenic a hopeless bid to relaunch their careers.

In 2022, each eyes were connected sacked Health Secretary Matt who was caught connected camera breaking his ain Covid societal distancing rules by having an matter with a adjacent aide.

Despite being paid £320,000 to uncover all, his pathetic and overly-rehearsed enactment disappointed.

“I messed up and I fessed up. I resigned and it’s nary excuse but I fell successful love, right?” helium said to his jungle campmates arsenic helium attempted to determination connected from the ungraded and motorboat a caller TV career.

He failed to present explosive bombshells similar legendary campmate Lady Colin Campbell - and alternatively fell level contempt the hefty wage cheque (like Noel Edmonds).

By purposely keeping a lid connected the full matter and brushing disconnected immoderate further controversy, helium failed to unrecorded up to his hype.

It's been glaringly evident the occupation with casting the likes of Marvin Humes, Charlene White and Danny Miller successful caller series.

Gone are the days of unfiltered amusive from Katie Price and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who could accidental and bash immoderate they pleased.

Now, celebrities are terrified of being cancelled. 

Big stars daring to fto loose, gossip oregon adjacent hazard offending, connection up the champion television acquisition fans could privation for - and I judge this year's line-up promises to bash conscionable that.

That's due to the fact that the bulk of the formed (McFly's Danny Jones, Strictly's Oti Mabuse, Coronation Street's Alan Halsall and writer Rev Richard Coles) already person monolithic careers down them.

Unlike Loose Women’s Charlene, who returned to proceed presenting ITV news aft finishing 2nd to last, there's a accidental of getting immoderate existent hard-hitting opinions.

With millions already successful the bank, a coagulated occupation and/or household to instrumentality to, these celebs are not successful dire request of a comeback.

Take Coleen Rooney for lawsuit - England fable Wayne Rooney's long-suffering woman who has stepped retired of his shadiness successful caller years.

After 'Wagatha Christie', Coleen has secured the biggest woody successful the I'm A Celeb's history.

The 38-year-old Wag’s interest is understood to beryllium mode beyond Nigel Farage’s £1.5million past year.

The mum-of-four had already picked up £3million from streaming elephantine Disney+ for exclusive rights to a three-part documentary bid astir the court case.

A abbreviated stint successful the jungle that involves ruffling a fewer feathers and enjoying a interruption from Wayne and their 4 kids for immoderate other spending money sounds similar a bully woody to me.
