The I’m A Celeb line-up is normally a closely guarded secret before each new series kicks off.
But, with just over two weeks before the show starts filming in Gwrych castle in Wales, the identity of this year’s contestants appears to have been leaked.
Eight stars – who it is alleged will feature on this year’s show – were seen at a photoshoot together.
EastEnders star Jessica Plummer, Strictly’s AJ Pritchard and presenter Victoria Derbyshire were seen at the photo-call in North London with TV presenter Vernon Kay.
Other famous faces at the event in Kensal Green included tenor Russell Watson, Paralympian Hollie Arnold, actress Ruthie Henshall, and actress Beverley Callard.

There are expected to be 10 stars on the show this year despite only eight being seen at the shoot, according to The Sun.
The stars reportedly were there so they could be photographed in their official IAC costumes for the first time.
Daily Star Online has contacted ITV for comment.
Yesterday it was claimed The Real Full Monty star, Victoria Derbyshire, has signed up for the show.
Victoria’s daily talk show was decommissioned by the BBC just several months ago.

A source said: “Victoria is always game for a challenge so when she was approached for I’m A Celebrity she jumped at the chance.
“It’s always something she’s wanted to do but because of her family, she’s never wanted to fly to Australia and be away from them for so long.”
The apparent insider went on to say: “When the show moved to Wales and the opportunity came up, she didn’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth so said yes straight away.”
Victoria is believed to be “looking forward” to the infamous Bushtucker Trials that sees celebrities surrounded by creepy crawlies, occasionally tucking into stomach-churning snacks like kangaroo penis.

The show was recently thrown into doubt after Wales announced they would be entering a stricter lockdown period, closing the country off.
Newly implemented rules mean that only those working in Wales can enter the country via the borders with Chester and the M4 bridge.
However, as the reality show is classed as a place of work, celebrities and the crew working on the show will be allowed to travel to Gwrych Castle in Abergele.
A statement released via the official Twitter account for the castle read: “Following the announcement today from the First Minister,
“The overriding message is that filming can continue in Wales providing related activity cannot be undertaken from home, and there is full compliance with Welsh law.
“We cannot wait to see I’m A Celebrity on our screens!”
