The famous faces on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! are in for a surprise as new stars will join the camp on Friday night's episode.

Former model and TV presenter Annabel Giles, 54, and Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Vincent Simone, 34, have packed their bags and are heading to the Australian jungle.

Annabel and Vincent should make an interesting addition to the camp, as both have admitted to disliking camping and being "scared of anything" respectively.

The single mother-of-two, who has starred in Through The Keyhole, Shooting Stars and Have I Got News For You, tried to get on I'm a Celebrity 

in 2010 and said that this year "will be exciting" for her. "It's a chance to have some me time," said Annabel. 

"It is a weird way to have 'me' time but actually, I do think it will be better than going to a health spa, as I couldn't bear lounging around in towelling dressing gowns. This will be exciting for me. 

"I don't even like camping," she added. "When I watch the trials on YouTube, I freak myself out and I keep going 'OMG'. I have had to stop thinking about it because if I do, I wind myself up into a frenzy and I keep wondering what on earth I have done. 

"My two children are really looking forward to it all in a horrible way. They can't wait to see me in a lot of discomfort a lot of the time."

Strictly's Vincent has admitted he is getting last-minute jitters, but is equally excited about pushing himself to the maximum. The dance enthusiast turned down the opportunity to perform in this year's Strictly Christmas Day special to appear on the jungle show. 

"I love dancing, but when I got asked to take part in this show, I really wanted to do it," said Vincent. "I am scared of anything. I am realising this more and more. I can't actually pick out specific creatures, spiders, tarantulas, I am scared of the whole thing. "Wednesday night's episode saw the two camps Snake Rock and Croc Creek merge, and Joey Essex and model Amy Willerton's flirtation heating up since.

The pair's romance may be shaken-up however, with the suspected arrival of Joey's ex-girlfriend and TOWIE co-star Sam Faiers next week.
