Two I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Campmates already had an intense conflict, which has erupted only days before they allegedly travel into the jungle together.
While ITV has yet to confirm the official lineup, Josie Gibson and Sam Thompson are expected to compete in Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s bushtucker trials.
Following Matt Hancock’s stay in the jungle last year, they’re believed to be joining Jamie Lynn Spears and Nigel Farage in the Australian jungle.
However, the lawmaker has already sparked controversy by revealing a previous quarrel with one of his alleged campmates.
Farage, 59, was reportedly labelled a ‘coward’ on social media by Fred Sirieix, one of the rumoured celebs set to appear on the reality show.
‘Farage is a coward who likes money, attention & the sound of his own voice far too much’ the First Dates star wrote on X in 2017, one year after Farage’s tenure as UKIP leader ended.
‘Definitely not a selfless idealistic revolutionary.’

His tweet was in reaction to an article that quoted Farage as claiming he would ‘take up a gun and head for the war lines’ if Brexit was not accomplished.
We’ll have to wait and watch how the two celebrities get along if they both join the jungle…
According to earlier reports, Farage secured a deal for up to £1 million for his appearance on the show.
A source previously told The Sun Farage had ‘been at the top of the wish-list for I’m A Celeb bosses for years’.
‘They’ve offered him a huge fee as they know he’ll drive up viewing figures.’
The insider added: ‘Nigel’s the ultimate Marmite character and won’t hold back in camp discussions.
‘It’s a real coup. The casting team has nailed it. It’s shaping up to be a brilliant series.’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here 2023 launches on ITV on Sunday, November 19 at 9pm.
