I'm A Celeb exodus! Stars seen 'leaving the UK for Australian jungle' - from McFly's Danny Jones to Loose Women's Jane Moore
With I'm A Celebrity 2024 just one week away from hitting screens, it appears a few celebrities are leaving the UK behind in favour of the Australian jungle. The first star will be heading to Australia today, with McFly's Danny Jones spotted at Heathrow Airport. Loose Women star and Journalist Jane Moore has also been posting some 'holiday' pics on her Instagram.
As Danny reportedly strolled through departures - with what looked like a guitar in tow - he wasn't alone as Joel Dommett and Sam Thompson were also seen boarding the same flight. They'll be hosting this year's spin-off show, I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked.
This comes after I'm A Celeb presenter Declan Donnelly was the pictured during a family outing with wife Ali Astall and daughter Isla in Australia, ahead of the start of the show's start dad. Dec - who also is dad to son Jack - was spotted grinning from ear to ear as he held hands with his eldest child, who was sporting a cute giraffe T-shirt for their day out in Brisbane. The family were seen returning to their hotel after a lovely meal out.

The off-duty presenter Dec kept it casual in a white T-shirt and khaki shorts, with a bag casually slung over his shoulder. The TV star, 49, and wife Ali, 45, are proud parents to two children.
It appears 38 year old McFly's Danny will be spending up to three weeks in camp starting next weekend. The full line-up, including rumours of Coleen Rooney and Tulisa Contostavlos, will be officially announced by ITV soon.
Boxing legend Barry McGuigan is also thought to be joining the camp after Ally McCoist dropped out. Bookies have already tipped Danny as the favourite to win, following in the footsteps of his bandmate Dougie Poynter who won back in 2011, reports the Mirror.
Loose Women's Jane Moore and Radio 1's Dean McCulloch are also rumoured to be joining the I'm A Celebrity line-up. Love Island's Maura Higgins is reportedly set to swap the villa for the jungle, while TikTok sensation GK Barry and Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse are also expected to make an appearance. Meanwhile, DJ Melvin Odoom, Reverend Richard Coles and Coronation Street's Alan Halsall are also believed to be part of the 2024 line-up.
Last year, Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson was crowned King of the Jungle, much to the delight of viewers and now he's set to co-present the spin off show with Joe Dommett. Speaking on GMB about his excitement, Joel said: “I feel like it’s the right time to bring it back. There’s a thirst for it.”
Sam added: "I am not joking, it is the best show on TV. Being a part of it, then being on the other side, is a dream come true."
The show will include interviews with campmates who have been voted out, as well as chats with hosts Ant and Dec. The original Extra Camp series ran from 2002 until 2020 and was previously presented by celebrities including Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Kelly Osbourne, Emma Willis, Matt Willis, Joe Swash, Scarlett Moffatt, Vick Hope, Adam Thomas, Rob Beckett and Laura Whitmore. In its final year, it was renamed The Daily Drop.
