I'm A Celebrity 2024 has officially kicked off with the confirmed line-up entering the jungle, but many eagle-eyed viewers have questioned where reported campmates Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles are.

The show usually has a total of 12 celebrities taking part in the reality show each series, which means that we're currently two short. As well, late entries into the jungle have happened before.

Ant and Dec are said to be welcoming the former Love Island star as well as the writer and priest into the Australian jungle in a matter of days.
