Over 24 hours after The Sun published a widely cited report claiming to know this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! line-up and ITV has confirmed exactly who will be entering the jungle.

Unfortunately, two of the biggest names from the aforementioned report are now missing: Danny Baker and Martin Roberts.

The esteemed BBC radio presenter was rumoured to have “signed a six-figure deal” with ITV, something that has since been proven false. Baker added on Twitter: "To be fair, I did have talks with #IACGMOOH this year but when I said my luxury item had to be a case of white wine the f***ers backed out."

Meanwhile, the Holmes Under the Hammer star continued to tease his appearance earlier today despite not actually appearing on the show, Tweeting about working from a "treehouse".

Heading into the jungle will be just ten ‘celebrities’, including ex-Countdown presenter Carol Vorderman, ex-Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan, and ex-Gogglebox star Scarlet Moffat.

Also making the final line-up are Olympic hockey player Sam Quek, former radio host and model Lisa Snowdon, and Emmerdale star Adam Thomas.

Rounding off the final line-up are Jordan Banjo, who was part of Britain’s Got Talent dance troupe Diversity, EastEnders star Larry Lamb, comedian Joel Dommett (who once starred in Skins), and Former England defender Wayne Bridge.

As always, the ten contestants will take part in various challenges over a number of weeks attempting to be crowned 2016’s I’m A Celebrity champion, all of which will be presented by Ant and Dec.

Last year’s highlights, according to ITV, included Ferne McCann taking on a snake-filled pit, a storm causing the celebrities to be evacuated, Vicky Pattison being crowned Queen of the Jungle, and Lady C.

I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! starts Sunday 13 November at 9pm on ITV.
