I’m a Celebrity returns on ITV on Sunday, November 19, with Ant and Dec once more presenting. We can expect a star-studded lineup and plenty of bushtucker trials to make you jump out of your seat. 

One of the most controversial signings of this year is Nigel Farage. He has taken a reported £1.5 million to appear on the show.

The former UKIP leader has defied those who have threatened to boycott this year’s show because of the politician’s often inflammatory remarks and views. 

“The rumours are true... I’ll see you in the jungle!” Farage tweeted this week, alongside a video where he appears to accept the offer having heard the salary. 

But, who are the early favourites to take home the crown, according to SkyBet?

1. Josie Gibson - 10/3

2. Sam Thompson - 4/1

3. Frankie Dettori - 4/1

4. Fred Sirieix - 11/2

5. Nigel Farage - 10/1

6. Danielle Harold - 10/1

7. Tony Bellew - 10/1

8. Marvin Humes - 12/1

9. Nick Pickard - 20/1

10. Jamie Lynn Spears - 25/1
