The late arrivals for this year's series of I'm A Celebrity can now officially be revealed, after speculation and both confirmed names being thrown around.

X Factor finalist Jake Quickenden is to join the rest of the campmates along with Edwina Currie as the two get to work in making the most of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jake admits he hasn't stopped smiling since he was offered the jungle gig: "I am just a normal bloke.

"I said yes straight away. It's such an amazing show. I used to watch it with my older brother and we both said we'd love to do it one day. It's a real adventure and it is going to be so much fun."

Admitting that lack of food is going to be one of his biggest problems, he is looking forward to hearing the reactions from The X Factor judges when they realise he has been signed up for the series.

Jake's currently single but doesn't mention going into the camp for love or to win - "This is all about having fun..."

Edwina Currie is looking forward to meeting Mel Sykes when she enters the camp, and pledges to stir up mischief if she thinks things need to happen on the show.

"If I hear someone talking complete bo**ocks, then I will probably say so. I am a Scouser and there is no such thing as a meek Scouser.

"I will quite possibly tell them if they are annoying me too. Or you can pull a face or a gesture. It really does depend what they are doing. I will only get cross with those who don't try. If you sign up to do something like this show, then you have to do your best. If anyone is pulling a fast one or letting the side down, then they might get a tongue-lashing. On the other hand, if they are really upset, I hope I am sympathetic."

Admitting that she'll miss her husband rather than the luxuries she may now be accustomed to, she isn't looking forward to facing bugs when she gets her teeth into the show.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV.
