BARRY McGUIGAN CONFIRMED FOR I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE 2024

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’s return can only mean one thing - the time has come for a brand-new cast of celebrities to battle it out in TV’s toughest entertainment challenge.

Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night as our new line-up of celebrities for 2024 will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind and spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.

BARRY McGUIGAN

Boxing legend

 Phobias: I don’t exactly enjoy hanging out with rats and snakes and spiders… but I don’t have a phobia of any of them. 

Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle? I think most people know me as a good fighter, a decent person, garrulous at times - in a jovial way, I’d like to think. I’m a decent guy. 

Role in camp: I would imagine I’ll be one of the elders… I’d like to think I’d be someone who would act as a ‘calmer downer’, if you like.  Aside from family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp: I’m not a ferocious eater, but I do like my sweet food and I do like sweet drinks. That’s going to be something I’m going to have to tolerate. 

Best & worst attributes: I’m determined. But maybe as I’m getting older I’m getting more irritable. It’s just a natural thing, an age thing. I’m more irritable than I was 30 / 40 years ago, put it that way. 

Dream camper: My wife! She knows me and we would bump along very well. She’s an amazing girl. If you’re going to encounter problems and issues, she is phenomenal. We’re 43 years married and I’m still madly in love with her

Meet the full cast for 2024 here.

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here returns Sunday 17th November on ITV1.
