Good news, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! fans: two new arrivals are on their way into the jungle at this very moment, following the shock removal of Jack Maynard on Tuesday.

Ant and Dec revealed the big news during the final moments of tonight's (November 22) episode that radio presenter Iain Lee and former Scottish Labour Party leader Kezia Dugdale will make their entrance during Thursday's show.

So before the duo make what we're sure will be a harrowing entrance into the jungle tomorrow night, here's everything you need to know about I'm a Celebrity 2017's late entrants.

Iain Lee

Age: 44

From: Slough

Relationship status: Married

Stand-up comedian and radio presenter Iain Lee probably first landed on your radar as host of Channel 4's comedy news programme The 11 O'Clock Show, where he worked alongside future superstars Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Iain has plenty of reality TV experience as well, having been a regular on Channel 5's weekend Big Brother after-show in previous years. He's also a regular guest on This Morning.

His most notorious moment was being sacked as a presenter on BBC Three Counties Radio back in 2015 after an on-air clash with an ex-prison worker and Christian lawyer over their views on homosexuality.

He's since landed a weeknight slot on talkRADIO, so why exactly is he leaving the (relatively) safe confines of his radio studio to venture into the jungle?

"I've been asked before but the timing has never been right," Iain says. "But this time, I decided it was. I am 44, my kids are seven and five and they haven't really seen me on the telly. They don't know what Daddy used to do. They will find it funny watching me.

"Another reason for doing it is I have put on quite a lot of weight over the last couple of years. Being a parent, you pick food off your kids' plates. This is an opportunity to lose weight. I want to lose a couple of stone whilst I am there. I am fine with not eating much. Bring it on."

Iain is quick to admit that he might "stir things up" between his fellow campers, although he's less prepared to encounter creepy-crawlies in the trials.

"This is all my worst nightmares coming hurtling towards me all at once," he admitted. "I am terrified of everything. I am a very lazy, cowardly man who has spent the last 44 years being safe and comfortable, who has not got involved in any risk whatsoever. Now I am going in the jungle, I am feeling nervous.

"Absolutely none of the trials appeal to me. I don't want to be buried underground with loads of snakes on me. But I will give everything a go. I am going to do the best of my ability... This is a nice opportunity to do some really silly stuff."

Kezia Dugdale

Age: 36

From: Aberdeen

Relationship status: In a Relationship

Kezia Dugdale just might be the most powerful politician to ever enter the jungle, having served as leader of the Scottish Labour Party until just this past August.

Although she's stepped down from her leadership position, Kezia remains the representative for Lothian in the Scottish Parliament, and has said she'll be donating her parliamentary pay for the next three weeks to charity.

Make no mistake, Kezia is fully expecting to cause controversy back home: "I think people's overriding emotion will be, first and foremost, of shock. I think there will be a few people angry. They will be angry because they will say I should be doing my day job and I am going to be away. I understand that anger.

"I've seen them be angry over similar things other people have done but I can't help but think that it is an amazing opportunity to talk to millions of people about the Labour Party, its values and how it is different. I am not going to talk about politics all the time but it is who I am, what I do and I can't help it."

Kezia genuinely seems pretty chilled about jungle life, probably because she's used to encountering slippery creatures in her day job.

"I am used to dealing with rats and snakes but I've never had to deal with creepy crawlies before," she joked. "I ran upstairs when I saw a spider the other day and I've got a big fear of birds that stems from when I saw a scary picture of a pigeon as a toddler.

"I was petrified and I've lived with that ever since. I know I am not totally useless but I will scream, shout and then get on with it."

Both new campmates will arrive in the jungle and battle in the next Bushtucker trial when I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! continues on Thursday (November 23) at 9pm on ITV.
