Coleen Rooney reveals huge list of instructions to look after the kids while she’s on I’m A Celeb

Coleen Rooney, 38, Instagram: @coleen_rooney

TV Personality & Wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney

Phobias: "I don’t think I have got any phobias. Then again, I could say, ‘Oh I’m not scared of heights and then get up on a high building and the panic sets in!"

Role in camp: "I’m a mum, but I’d like to think my role will be a team player. I am organised so maybe that will be part of my role too."

Best & worst attributes: "I am quite a focused person and so I hope I will be someone who says, ‘Come on, let’s battle through this’. My worst? I didn’t think I snored, but Wayne says I snore – not continuously though – just every now and again!"

Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "I have been in the public eye for over 20 years now and people take what they want from it. I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am."

Danny Jones, 38, Instagram: @dannyjonesofficial

McFly Star

Phobias: "I’ve tried to forget all of my phobias. I’ve never been put in a situation like this before. I’m hoping that I don’t come home with new phobias…"

Role in camp: "I’m just going to bring some laughter hopefully. That’s what I would like. My grandad says, ‘A day’s worthwhile, when you make someone smile.’ I’ve taken that on and gone, ‘Well, I want to make people laugh.’"

Best & worst attributes: "I can kind of cook. So I’ll bring a bit of that. Apart from that I’ll just be the silly billy in the corner having a good time."

Dream camper: "It’d be Dougie!" He added about his McFly bandmate: "He’s the King of the Jungle. He should actually open up a zoo. He’s got lizards and all sorts of stuff at his house. He loves it. He loves animals and nature."

Oti Mabuse, 34, Instagram: @otimabuse

Dancer, former Strictly professional & Dancing on Ice Judge

Phobias: "I am terrified of snakes."

Role in camp: "The fun dancing mum! I love chatting to people and hearing their stories and I also hope I can teach everyone a few dance moves."

Best & worst attributes: "I think I have a good listening ear. My worst? I can be quite loud – but unintentionally. And if I get bored, I am even more energetic."

Dream camper: "I love actresses, so someone like Kerry Washington or Viola Davis. We can listen to each other and laugh."

Jane Moore, 62, Instagram: @janepmoore

Loose Women panellist & Journalist

Phobias: "I’m not sure how I will feel when faced with Australian creepy crawlies, as they are so much bigger and I’m not fond of cold water either – so any of the water Trials I would not really want to do."

Role in camp: "Shoulder to cry on – especially with younger campmates. If someone is struggling, I will be the person who will try and help them out."

Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "Journalists as a whole can sometimes be misunderstood and so I am hoping to have a good conversation about that."

Best & worst attributes: "I am very organised and so if anything needs organising, I’m your girl. I will also try to fill the long hours with lots of conversation. My worst? I get up at least twice in the night to go to the toilet, as I am a woman of a certain age. I will try to be quiet!"

Tulisa Contostavlos, 36, Instagram: @tulisacontostavlos

N-Dubz singer & Former X Factor judge

Phobias: "I am not going to give too much away by telling people what to vote for, but I will be scared of a lot of stuff!"

Role in camp: "Goofball and Mother Hen. I am normally the mummy in N-Dubz."

Best & worst attributes: "I am a good communicator and I’m aware of other people’s emotions. Worst? My eating habits. I am really OCD with my food so if something comes on a bone, I have to pick it all off first before I eat it. They will be waiting for me to finish so whoever wants to do the dishes, I will still be sitting there two hours later with the same little bowl!"

Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "I am not the person that people perceive me to be and this will be a chance for everyone to get to know the real me."

Alan Halsall, 42, Instagram: @alanhalsall

Coronation Street Star

Phobias: "I’m not scared of anything at home but if you were to put ten snakes on my head, I don’t know how I would feel about that as clearly I’ve never been in that situation before!"

Role in camp: "Joker. For such a small person, I have got a big personality and I can be quite jokey! I am hoping people will share my sense of humour."

Best & worst attributes: "My sense of humour and I hope to have a laugh in camp. Worst? Sleeping is going to be interesting. I have problems sleeping and it has to be pitch black and deadly quiet – now that is not going to happen!"

Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "It will be nice for people to get to know a bit more about me rather than my character, Tyrone."

GK Barry, 25 years, Instagram: @gkbarry_

Podcaster & Content creator

Phobias: "I am terrified of everything!"

Role in camp: "Not the chef! I think I will be someone who will try to cheer people up if they are missing home and bring a few one liners."

Best & worst attributes: "Making light of a negative situation. I am a good person if you are upset. My worst? I snore and to be honest, I can be lazy at times. But yes, I do know I am going to have to do some chores!"

Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "I think people assume I am always full on but I’m actually a calm person."

Barry McGuigan, 63,

Former Boxing Champion

Phobias: "I don’t exactly enjoy hanging out with rats and snakes and spiders… but I don’t have a phobia of any of them"

Role in camp: "I would imagine I’ll be one of the elders… I’d like to think I’d be someone who would act as a ‘calmer downer’, if you like."

Best & worst attributes: "I’m determined. But maybe as I’m getting older I’m getting more irritable. It’s just a natural thing, an age thing. I’m more irritable than I was 30 / 40 years ago, put it that way."

Dream camper: "My wife! She knows me and we would bump along very well. She’s an amazing girl. If you’re going to encounter problems and issues, she is phenomenal. We’re 43 years married and I’m still madly in love with her."

Dean McCullough, 32, Instagram: @thedeanlife

Radio DJ

Phobias: "I am terrified of everything – snakes, green flies, being suspended off a cliff – it’s all torturous. Don’t tell Ant & Dec but I don’t like being confined in tight spaces either!"

Role in camp: "A friendly shoulder to cry on and bringing some positive vibes to proceedings. I’m also happy to be the camp cleaner every day."

Best & worst attributes: "I’d like to think I will bring lots of good vibes. Worst? I am known to wake up in the middle of the night."

Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "Nothing, but I haven’t drunk for four years and I am very happy to fly the flag for young people who don’t drink. I am happy to show how I do still go raving."

Melvin Odoom, 44, Instagram: @melvinodoom

Radio & TV Presenter

Phobias: "I really hate insects and creepy crawlies."

Role in camp: "I will be the person who is always there for everyone."

Best & worst attributes: "I’m a very positive guy in every situation. My worst? I snore loudly and I’ve been trying to train myself not to do it before I go into the camp."

Dream camper: "Bruno Mars or a comedian like Ricky Gervais."
