It is still more than four months before the jungle camp opens its doors again in Australia. But the speculation about the possible participants in the 16th season is already shooting up. Now three new names are being discussed.
As for the 16th edition of "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!" are concerned, there are already some facts. For example, it is certain that the show will be back in Australia at the beginning of 2023 after its one-off trip to South Africa. It is also clear that Sonja Zietlow will remain with the format as a moderator from the very beginning. And that Jan Köppen joins as her counterpart after Daniel Hartwich gave up the job voluntarily for family reasons.
But much else that is currently being whispered about the successful RTL show (also available on RTL) is just speculation. Above all, of course, when it comes to potential participants in the coming year.
Once again, the "Bild" newspaper has released three more names that it seems certain that we will hear again in the jungle camp in 2023. On the one hand there is Yeliz Koc. The 28-year-old had become known through her participation in "Der Bachelor", where in 2018 she vainly competed for the affection of Rosenkavalier Daniel Völz. After that, other reality TV shows such as "Bachelor in Paradise", "The Summer House of the Stars" or most recently "Battle of the Reality Stars" were on their program.
However, her relationship with the actor's son Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht made headlines in particular. Eventually, she even had a child, even though the couple separated before the birth. Is Koc really ready for the jungle?
Or is it Djamila Rowe? She had at least shown interest in it in the past, on "I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!" to join. In the "jungle show" produced in Cologne in 2021, she fought for a real camp ticket in South Africa, but had to admit defeat to the future king of the jungle Filip Pavlović. According to the "Bild" newspaper, it should now be set for 2023 - without any competition for the ticket to the camp.
How do you know Djamila Rowe again? Well, maybe from the nude show "Adam sucht Eva", which she took part in in 2017. Or from a much earlier time: "Big Brother" 2006, for example. Or "Die Alm" in 2004. Or because of the story that started Rowe's dubious public career in the first place: the invented affair with the then Swiss ambassador Thomas Borer in 2002, which earned her the nickname "embassy slut".
In addition to Koc and Rowe, Schnodderschnauze Lisha is the third member of the current jungle camp speculation. Anyone who doesn't know her from YouTube may have already met her and her partner Lou Savage in the "Summer House of the Stars", which the two made unsafe in 2020. The couple was part of the scandal season in which the candidate Eva Benetatou became a victim of bullying by ex-"Bachelor" Andrej Mangold and his supporters in the house.
That might close a circle. Because Mangold has also been hotly traded as a jungle camp candidate for about a week. Just like influencer Twenty4tim, which has not yet been officially confirmed. It is not even certain that Lucas Cordalis will participate, who had to pass at short notice in 2022 due to a corona infection and is therefore already considered by many to be set. Cordalis has formulated his wish to make up for the missed show participation. RTL has not yet given the final go for this.
