The celebrity jungle line up has been annouced and this year it's quite a good one.
Amongst those taking part in this year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here according to the BBC News website are George Takei AKA Mr Sulu from the original Star Trek, Martina Navratilova, Esther Rantzen who's no stranger to the reality genre having appeared on Strictly Come Dancing four years ago, Dani Behr who used to present "The Word" on Channel 4 and the first series of CBBC's "The Saturday Show", and Simon Webbe who was in the boy band Blue and had one or two solo hits.
Not the first member of the band to appear on the show of course as they had Antony Costa a few years earlier.
There's also a couple of token models in the line up but the most interesting choice that they've got to go in this year in my opinion has to be the infamous Robert Kilroy Silk who I'm certain the public will be voting in their droves for him to undertake a Bushtucker Trial.
Of course it's not the first time he's been made to look stupid on television having made an idiot of himself on Have I Got News For You, and in 2001 when he hosted the short lived ITV1 quiz show "Shafted" with a catchphrase complete with hand movements.
However I reckon the closest he's ever got to "Celebrity" was an appearance on the final episode of series 2 of Noel's House Party getting a well deserved gunging (and brilliantly recieved by the studio audience) proving that he's a really good sport overall despite being an idiot.
I just hope that he doesn't end up doing what Malcolm McLaren did at the start of the last series by being an arrogant whiny so and so and refuse to leave his hotel room.
On the plus side Ant and Dec did a good job taking the mickey out of the whole thing.
