A real-life master chef known for "stirring the pot" and "dishing up a serving of controversy" will shake things up in the jungle. One fan theorised it could be former MasterChef Australia judge George Calombaris, who used to own multiple restaurants in Melbourne such as The Press Club.
AFL A-Lister
An AFL A-Lister will be "booted" into the jungle. This one doesn't seem as obvious, but there are still some names floating around. Could it be Dyson Heppell, Alister Lynch, or Joe Daniher?
Logie-winning actor
A Logie-winning actor is set to join I'm A Celeb, with Morrison saying the drama is "buzzing in the air". A couple of fans have suggested Home and Away's Lincoln Lewis and Stephen Peacocke, while another believes it could be 4-time Logie winner Hugh Sheridan.
