Former WAG Coleen Rooney, musician Danny Jones and Loose Women star Jane Moore are all also rumoured to be appearing in this year’s instalment of the celebrity survival competition down under.

Higgins has been revealed as a favourite to win the show.

According to odds revealed this week, the Irishwoman is the 5/2 favourite to be crowned queen of the jungle.

Social media star GK Barry is also expected to be heading down under this month

Former McFly star Jones ranks 5/1 to win, with social media personality GK Barry, also rumoured to be taking part, following closely behind with 6/1 odds to take the title.

Rooney sits as the sixth celebrity most likely to win the show in the figures released by Fruityslots.com, whose findings are based on the makeup of previous winners while taking into account each star’s age, background and odds to win.

The series is due to start on November 17, according to reports, although ITV have yet to formally announce the full line up and start date.
