The full lineup for the 2024 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here has been revealed, and it includes a boxing legend.
In just two weeks, the beloved ITV series I'm a Celeb will be back on our television screens every weeknight.
Last year, former cruiserweight boxing champion Tony Bellew made it to the final of the series after quickly becoming a fan favourite in the jungle.

And now, another boxing legend has decided to travel down under for the 2024 series, as the full lineup has been revealed.
According to The Sun, boxing promoter Barry McGuigan is set to feature in this year's series of I'm a Celebrity, having previously mocked former contestant Amir Khan for failing one of the show's infamous bushtucker trials.
McGuigan will join a series of British boxing icons who have featured on the show in recent years, with Bellew, Khan, Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn also appearing on I'm a Celebrity.

He will be living in the jungle alongside Coleen Rooney, the wife of legendary England and Manchester United footballer Wayne, as well as several other stars from across television and social media.
Coleen is reported to be the highest-paid contestant ever to feature on the show, earning more than the £1.5million that Nigel Farage was paid last year.
ITV hope that she will reveal some details of her relationship with Wayne and about her legendary fallout with Rebekah Vardy, the wife of Leicester City's Jamie Vardy, who also featured on the show in 2017.
Prior to the lineup announcement, British boxer Tommy Fury, brother former heavyweight champion Tyson, was rumoured to feature in this year's series of the ITV show.

However, later reports claimed that the 25-year-old pulled out of the show last minute so that he could pursue a rematch in the ring with YouTuber KSI, who Fury beat in a bout last year.
Had Fury featured, ITV bosses would have hoped he would have revealed more details of his recent split with ex-girlfriend Molly-Mae, who he met on reality show Love Island.
Instead, I'm A Celebrity have opted for another Love Island star, Maura Higgins, who may speak about Fury's breakup given her close relationship with Molly-Mae.
