I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! stars bravely took part in a skydive to kick off the series.

The 2024 season of I’m A Celeb starts on Sunday 17 November and to kick off the show, Tulisa and Danny Jones were spotted falling from the sky as they made their grand entrance in Australia. The celebs were seen waiting on Byron Bay as they looked up to see their co-stars skydiving through the clouds.

In one group snap, Melvin Odoom was seen sporting a matching brown polo shirt and trousers, looking seriously dapper as he squinted to get a better view of his future campmates. Next to him stood podcaster GK Barry wearing a white low-cut ensemble with a halter neck.

Barry McGuigan gazed up while wearing a blue shirt and white trousers as Coleen Rooney couldn’t believe her eyes, pointing up at the sky with a huge smile on her face. The WAG wore black trousers, a black hoodie and a white t-shirt with her hair pulled back.

Corrie’s Alan Halsall completed the beachside fivesome, sporting a black polo and grey shorts as he joined in the fun. Danny Jones was pictured falling from the sky strapped to an instructor as a yellow parachute billowed out behind him.

The singer bent his legs in a brace position as he prepared to land on the white sand beach, dressed in a white shirt and khaki shorts for the occasion. Tulisa quickly joined the group wearing a white top and matching trousers as she skidded along the shoreline, her brunette hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail.

Oti Mabuse also dropped in via skydive, looking as gorgeous as ever in a grey one piece outfit as she stretched out her arms and embraced Melvin on the beach.

Excited ITV fans are gearing up to watch the 2024 series’ first episode on Sunday, which sees an all star cast – that have been branded the “best yet” – join the Australian jungle for a fun-filled few weeks full of challenges and tasks galore. Before the show kicked off, the celebs listed their phobias but Tulisa was clever to avoid the question.

She said: “I am not going to give too much away by telling people what to vote for, but I will be scared of a lot of stuff!” The N-Dubz singer admitted that she will likely take on the “goofball and mother hen” roles as she is “normally the mummy” in the band.

Fellow campmate GK Barry, known for her social media presence and Saving Grace podcast, confessed that she is “terrified of everything”.

Her role in camp? Definitely not the cook: “Not the chef! I think I will be someone who will try cheer people up if they are missing home and bring a few one liners.”
