The fourth star to be taking on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! has been confirmed as the star is spotted touching down at Brisbane Airport in Australia. The new series is set to begin on Sunday, with a fresh line-up of celebs taking on the dreaded Bushtucker Trials for the chance to become the next King or Queen of the Jungle.

Hosted by Ant and Dec, the series places a number of famous faces in the Australian jungle and while ITV is yet to confirm the stars who'll be making their debut down under, various celebs have been spotted arriving in Brisbane ahead of the show's premiere. The latest to arrive is BBC Radio presenter Dean McCullough - who was rumoured to be taking part in the show.

The 32-year-old presenter was spotted arriving at the airport in a green tracksuit set on Monday 11 November, standing with his suitcase as he posed for the cameras. The Irish broadcaster joined BBC Radio 1 back in 2020 and now hosts the station's weekday afternoon show alongside Vicky Hawkesworth, replacing Scott Mills and Chris Stark.

Before joining Radio 1, Dean presented the Gaydio breakfast show with Emma Goswell. He has also appeared on Big Brother : Late and Live, Strictly Come Dancing : It Takes Two and CelebAbility as a guest.

The 2024 stars of I'm A Celeb have been arriving in Australia over the last few days, with McFly's Danny Jones being the first to be pictured. He was pictured walking through Brisbane airport after a lengthy day of travelling, caused by weather delays. He joined Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers - who are hosting I'm A Celeb's spin-off show - on the flight.

The musician, who was seen with a guitar among his luggage, teased: "The McFly boys don't know it [but] I'm here to do a solo album." He follows in the footsteps of his bandmate Dougie Poynter, who was crowned King of the Jungle in 2011.

Next to touch down in Oz were N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall and TikTok star GK Barry, also known to fans as Grace Keeling. Tulisa was wearing a grey tracksuit combo, a cap and a face mask, while Alan was in an all-black ensemble and a Remembrance Sunday poppy.

Grace was spotted in a black and white tracksuit, a cap and a large pink suitcase, shortly after facing backlash for interviewing adult content creator Bonnie Blue, who boasts about sleeping with hundreds of "barely legal" men aged 18 and 19 during university Freshers Week, on her podcast.
