The I’m a Celeb final

It is still a mystery who will be in the final, although as always, there are some favourites. So far the top three are Jill Scott, Mike Tindall, and Owen Warner.

As the series comes to an end, fans are looking forward to one of the best trials. If you’re a longstanding fan of the series, you know we’re talking about the Celebrity Cyclone trial which is always a blast to watch.

Although, an insider told The Sun:

The producers have grand plans to make the final bigger than ever so no one is seen without a mask and there have been loads more people queueing up to get themselves tested on site.
