The Sun already revealed wag Coleen Rooney will be bunking down with critters in Australia next month after securing the biggest deal in I’m A Celeb history.

And she has an incredible list of stars joining her in the jungle, from McFly star Danny Jones to Love Island royalty, Maura Higgins.

Ant and Dec have now shared their thoughts on the celebs heading into the jungle with them.

In a video captioned: “If we had to describe this year’s lineup in 10 words,” the two presenters reacted as they found out who’d be joining.

Reactions included the words: “Good. Very good. Really good. Brilliant. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES.”

The TV favourites could be seen sitting alongside each other while being told the cast reveal.

Those watching the video can’t hear whose names they’re reacting to, but the happy duo seem delighted as they shout “yes” and clap their hands.

For one of the sign ups, they can be heard gasping, and for another they burst into laughter.

At one point, Ant says: “What? Is he?”

Fans were loving the reaction video, but really wanted to know who they were reacting to when they acted shocked and said: “Is he?”

This week, The Sun revealed McFly’s Danny Jones had been drafted to replace Tommy Fury after the boxer pulled out.

Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011.

Other names heading into the I’m A Celeb jungle include Jane Moore, Oti Mabuse, Maura Higgins, Dean McCullough, Tulisa, Barry McGuigan, Melvin Odoom, Alan Halsall, Rev Richard Coles, Coleen Rooney and GK Barry.

A LINE of Duty star has swapped the world of crimefighting for a part in the DC Universe by taking a huge new TV role – sparking rumours of a new BBC series.

This time, Kelly is back in crime-fighting mode as she joins the DC Universe’s cosmic police agency.

The eight-part series centres around two intergalactic cops, John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), who are propelled into a dark mystery that grips the American heartland on Earth.

Kelly is Sherriff Kerry – Hal’s love interest.

According to the script, she plays a “no-nonsense woman deeply devoted to her family and close-knit town…

“Her resilience, shaped by a complex past that’s hardened her resolve, anchors her when the community’s secrets begin to surface.”

The Scottish actress also starred in Broadwalk Empire, for which she was nominated for an Emmy in 2011, and a host of TV shows.

She also has an impressive movie career playing Diane opposite Euan McGregor in Trainspotting and Helena Ravenclaw in Harry Potter.

But she is well known by fans for her role as the bent cop in Line of Duty.

The critically acclaimed BBC drama aired on screens from 2012 to 2021, spanning six series.

After getting together for a night out, the cast recently sparked new episode rumours.

Leading the ensemble were Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar.

The trio played Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming and Ted Hastings respectively – with fans desperate for more Line of Duty.

In a clip posted by Martin to Instagram, the actors are seen having fun on a tuk-tuk ride around London.

Meanwhile, music including Gloria Gaynor’s classic “I Will Survive” can be heard playing in the background.

HBO produces Lanterns, based on DC’s Green Lantern comics.

No release date has been scheduled for Lanterns.

Line of Duty is available to stream on BBC Player.

DEAR DEIDRE: EVER since I sent out rules for visiting my baby, my family has stopped speaking to me.

I’ve had a lot of losses and a very difficult pregnancy, so I need to feel safe. I thought my mum and sister would understand, but instead they’re making me feel like a terrible person.

I’m 35 and my husband is 37. I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant.

Having a baby is all I’ve ever dreamed of, but it’s been a hard journey, with IVF and several miscarriages.

Now the birth is imminent, I need to feel in control and prepared, as I’m an anxious person.

So, having seen something similar online, I wrote a set of visitor rules. 

They say things like: no drinking before you visit; only I am allowed to feed my baby; they shouldn’t bring toys without checking I approve; and no blue or pink clothes. 

My husband’s family accepted the rules, without any problem. My close friends did too.

But my family has been giving me the silent treatment.

When I went round to see my mum, she was furious, saying she’d brought up three kids unscathed, and my list was insulting.

My sister said I’ve turned into a control freak and will spoil my baby if I behave like this. 

I just want them to respect my boundaries.

Is that too much to ask? Or am I in the wrong?

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s natural to be anxious when having your first baby, especially after previous losses.

Your family should be more sensitive and respectful to your needs.

Perhaps they’re worried about you and think your anxiety is taking over. 

They may also be upset because they’re excited about your new baby coming too, and feel they won’t be able to enjoy spending time with it, in the way they imagined.

And they might feel your rules mean you don’t trust them.

Talk to them and explain how you feel – they may not have linked these conditions with your fertility challenges and miscarriages.

Once you spell out how nervous you are about this baby, they may be able to empathise better with you. 

Family Lives (familylives.org.uk) can advise on how best to talk to them.

Fears that something will go wrong are common after miscarriage. See my Miscarriage support pack for sources of help.

ARSENAL manager Mikel Arteta jokingly threatened to fine a reporter for being late to his post-match press conference.

The Spaniard was in good spirits as he addressed the media following Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Preston North End on Wednesday.

One reporter appeared to ask a question about young midfielder Ethan Nwaneri, seemingly unaware Arteta had already spoken about him.

The Arsenal boss quickly jumped in to joke: “You are late! We already talked about him!

“That’s a fine for you!”

Gabriel Jesus ended a 25-game goal drought to put the Gunners 1-0 up against Preston at Deepdale.

Nwaneri then fired a stunning shot into the top-left corner to extend the advantage.

And Kai Havertz sealed the win with a bullet header after coming off the bench in the second half.

Discussing Nwaneri’s impressive performance at full-time, Arteta said: “He’s a big talent, he’s got the right attitude, he’s got the right players and context around him and we need to make sure that we put brick by brick in the right order but we have some player here.

“He’s going to really dictate how fast that’s going to go but I’m really happy with him.

“So much personality there, he wants every ball, he wants to make things happen.

“Outside and around he’s still a bit quiet as usual, he’s 17 years old, very respectful, his work ethic is tremendous and he loves what he does, you can tell that.”

Arsenal next face Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Gunners currently sit third in the table, behind Liverpool and Manchester City.

DEAR DEIDRE: JUST two weeks after we got married, my wife dumped me.

To really rub it in, she’s fleeced me after discovering my cache of sexy conversations I’d been having with different women on dating sites.

She’s left me with all the bills and the mortgage to pay, but I’ve also discovered that she has been fleecing me for months in revenge for a stupid mistake. 

She’s drained our joint bank account – I am devastated.

I’m 34 and she’s 32. We were together for five years before we got married.

Although I loved her, things weren’t brilliant leading up to the wedding.

She worked long hours and had a busy social life, which meant I was often alone. 

I tried to talk to her about it, but she couldn’t see the problem.

That’s when I messed up. Lonely, I started talking to women on dating sites. 

I had no intention of having sex with them, I wanted friendship. Some of them sent sexy pics, but I didn’t reciprocate.

Of course, she found out. I begged her to forgive me, and eventually, she said she had.

But she was just biding her time, once she’d taken me down the aisle and had a nice honeymoon.

Before we even had the wedding photos back, she texted me from work to say our marriage was over.

I got home to discover she’d collected her possessions and had seen a solicitor about an annulment.

Nothing could change her mind. 

When I checked our joint bank account, it was virtually empty. From the day she found out about my mistake, she’d been syphoning off small amounts of cash, so I wouldn’t notice.

Thousands in total.

I know I was stupid to message other women. But what she’s done is far worse. 

I’m heartbroken – and skint.

DEIDRE SAYS: You’re understandably devastated by your wife’s cold and cruel actions. 

She should have been honest and called off the wedding, instead of secretly taking financial revenge – which might be illegal.

Please take legal advice. Contact your local Citizen’s Advice (citizensadvice.org.uk).

It’s also important you sort out your finances before you get into arrears.

My support pack, Solving Debt Problems, should be useful.

As for your heartbreak, it sounds like your wife has made up her mind.

Even if you could change it, would you really want her back after what she’s done? 

Confide in a friend or loved one, and consider counselling. See my support pack, Mend Your Broken Heart.

SUTTON chairman Bruce Elliott believes hosting Arsenal in the FA Cup seven years ago started an incredible journey.

That last-16 clash set the wheels in motion for a rise within four years into the EFL for the first time since the team was formed in 1898.

And although the tiny Surrey club are back in non-league after relegation last season, Elliott hopes knocking Birmingham out of the FA Cup on Sunday at Gander Green Lane can be the prologue to another glorious chapter.

Elliott said: “That run to the fifth round was our best in the FA Cup and it set off a chain of events that eventually saw us win EFL status — something we’d never expected or dreamed of.

“The FA Cup has been great for this club. Of course, we famously knocked out the defending FA Cup holders Coventry in 1989 but our run in 2017 was special.

“We beat Wimbledon after a replay, upset Leeds here and then hosted an Arsenal team who had just played Bayern Munich a few days earlier.

“In The Sun there was a whole page about our small changing rooms and how it was a huge come-down from what they’d experienced!

“And a lot was made of our 3G pitch before that match and how Arsenal would cope with playing on it.”

Arsene Wenger put out a strong team and beat the plucky part-timers 2-0 with goals from Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott.

And Elliott will never forget meeting the legendary former manager after the match.

The Sutton chairman said: “I apologised to him about the size of the dressing rooms.

“He replied, ‘It’s fine, people forget I used to manage a small team in France and in any case I rather like the smaller sized ones, you’re nearer the players.’ What a great answer. Another lovely thing was when I asked why with the game in the bag with just 16 minutes left did he bring on Alexis Sanchez?

“After all, they had paid £30million for that guy, so why risk him against a non-league team late in a game that is pretty much over.

“He replied, ‘I thought it was the right thing to do for such an occasion as this!’

“That was absolutely quality and class from him. He understood what a big deal it was for Sutton United.”

When Sutton won promotion to the EFL in 2021, they had to rip up their 3G pitch and install a grass one. It is something that still rankles with Elliott and Sutton fans.

Already in the three seasons since they lost it, it has cost the club around £1MILLION.

Elliott said: “It does seem ridiculous that our 3G pitch was good enough to host Arsenal in the FA Cup — but not for League Two games!

“I don’t get why the EFL doesn’t relax the rules. They’re even allowed in European competitions.

“There are a lot of people at those higher levels living in the past — thinking back to the days of the inferior plastic pitches at Luton, Oldham and QPR. They are now of the highest quality.”

Another bugbear for Elliott is the FA scrapping cup replays — denying them a possible money-spinning replay at St Andrew’s.

He said: “There is no logic to getting rid of them until the third round when Premier League sides enter.

“I understand it at that point but to lose them from the first round denies clubs at our level the chance to get another TV payday.”

The Blues come to Surrey as the biggest spending club outside of the Premier League.

No team in League One history has ever splashed the cash quite like the Brummies — with Jay Stansfield arriving for £15million with it set to rise to £20m depending on appearances and promotion.

It is a far cry from Sutton who have one of the lowest budgets in the fifth tier.

Elliott said: “We’re still ambitious but we’ve always spent within our means.

“It was an incredible achievement for us to be in the EFL. Now that we’ve tasted it, we most definitely would like to get there again.”
