Celebrity line-up is confirmed
Anarchist rocker Johnny Rotten is joint favourite to win the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The former Sex Pistol - real name John Lydon - has been given odds of 3-1 to top the show he calls 'mainstream rubbish'.
As the ten 'celebrities' taking part were confirmed yesterday, it became clear he had little competition.
He is joined by glamour model Jordan, George Best's wife Alex, one-hit wonder pop star Peter Andre and BBC royal reporter Jennie Bond.
Athlete Diane Modahl, convicted fraudster Lord Charles Brocket, former Atomic Kitten Kerry McFadden, DJ Mike Read and ex-footballer Neil Ruddock - the other joint favourite - complete the crew.
Announcement of the list was delayed as the celebrities wrangled over how much they would be paid. Jordan is said to be getting up to £100,000.
Lydon, 47, admitted he was nervous about the challenge. 'I could fall on my face,' he said. 'It's mainstream rubbish but it's a serious challenge.'
Lord Brocket, 52, who was jailed over a £4.5million classic car racket, said he had never watched the show but thought that was 'probably an advantage'.
Jordan, 25, gave viewers an idea of what they can expect. 'It's going to be really hot in the jungle - I'll be in my birthday suit,' she said.
In fact, bookmakers are speculating about which woman will go topless first. Jordan is odds-on at 4-9, while Kerry McFadden is a decent bet at 5-1.
The celebrities must survive for two weeks in the Australian jungle. They will earn food by taking part in Bushtucker Trials and compete for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle. The ITV show, hosted by Ant and Dec, starts on Monday.
