Joe SWASH
Ante-post odds: 4-1 favourite
A massive hit in Eastenders, the 26-year-old actor is bound to bag plenty of votes from female teenage fans of the show. One of the jungle flirts, Albert Square’s cheeky chappy has been installed as pre-show favourite.

Simon WEBBE
Ante-post odds: 6/1
Webbe’s the second ex-member of boyband Blue to enter the jungle – and ought to improve upon Anthony Costa’s sixth place in 2005. Has a sizeable fan base already but needs to show more of a personality than his one-time band buddy.

Martin NAVRATILOVA
Ante-post odds: 8/1
Arguably the greatest female tennis player of all time, the 52-year-old Czech-born star is clearly killing time before the Australian Open gets going. Carrying firewood will be a breeze – getting along with lazy jungle mates may prove more difficult.

Esther RANTZEN
Ante-post odds: 8/1
ChildLine founder Rantzen follows in the footsteps of Jan Leeming, Jennie Bond and Janice Dickinson as the token ‘older woman’. Starred in experimental BBC2 reality show ‘Excuse My French’ alongside ‘Big’ Ron Atkinson – but will she be able to stand the jungle trials?

George TAKEI
Ante-post odds: 8/1
After David Gest and Starsky and Hutch’s ‘Huggy Bear’, Star Trek’s Mr Sulu is the latest American star to try his luck. The oldest contestant at 71, he’s an unknown quantity who doesn’t know most of the other contestants. That may help him.

Carly ZUCKER
Ante-post odds: 12/1
Chelsea and England star Joe Cole’s fiancee is officially a personal trainer, but she’s best known as a WAG who swanned around Germany during England’s 2006 World Cup campaign. Bound to be a big hit with the boys – but what about the girls?

Robert KILROY-SILK
Ante-post odds: 14/1
The man fans will love to hate – but he might yet turn public opinion in his favour. Thrives on controversy, so expect him to be at the heart of many a heated battle around the jungle camp fire. Will relish the chance to top up his tan.

Dani BEHR
Ante-post odds: 16/1
Ryan Giggs’ ex-fiancee has fallen off the radar in recent times but will prove popular with one-time lads’ mag readers. A tad dull side in her heyday, the 37-year-old former Word presenter may be too nice to win.

Brian PADDICK
Ante-post odds: 16/1
The former Met police chief and London mayoral candidate is used to the public eye. Openly gay, he’s played it straight in front of the TV cameras – so will be fascinating to see how he adapts to light entertainment.

Nicola McLEAN
Ante-post odds: 20/1
Nicola who? Star of Five’s ‘Help I’ve Got A High Maintenance Wife!’ (yes, we missed it, too), she’s engaged rather than married to Peterborough United midfielder Tommy Williams. The hitherto unknown lower-league WAG will need to work hard early doors to win over the public. Rank outsider as the show starts.
