I’m a Celebrity: The Women
Three WAGs, a lesbian and Esther Rantzen
There have only ever been two female winners of I’m a Celebrity but these five women will be battling it out to change that and earn the right to proudly declare themselves the new Kerry Katona:

Carly Zucker
The personal trainer’s main claim to fame is being Joe Cole’s fiancée and while providing eye-candy keeps you in the jungle for a while, no glamour model or WAG has ever won. Zucker is this year’s youngest contestant and is just a year older than Kerry Katona was when she became the first-ever female winner.
Dani Behr
As well as dating Ryan Giggs and Les Ferdinand, TV presenter Behr used to go out with Jason Brown, who finished third in last year’s show. She won’t find it too difficult to adapt to the Australian climate because she currently lives in Sydney, where series five winner Carol Thatcher also spent four years of her life.
Esther Rantzen
In three of the last four series the top woman has been over the age of fifty: Janet Street-Porter (fourth, series four), Carol Thatcher (first, series five) and Janice Dickinson (second, series seven) while in series three Jennie Bond came second behind Kerry Katona. Last year’s oldest woman, Lynne Franks, came ninth but Rantzen should be nowhere near as annoying as her.
Martina Navratilova
The nine-time Wimbledon champion will look to become the first former sports star to win the show since Phil Tufnell finished ahead of John Fashanu in series two. There hasn’t been a foreign winner yet but it’s getting closer to happening: Jason Donovan (Australia) came third in series five then Janice Dickinson (USA) came second last year.
Nicola McLean
McLean has a child with Peterborough footballer Tommy Williams so the former Page 3 girl, voted the fourth most popular ever by Sun readers, will rival Carly Zucker for the title of most popular WAG. In three of the last five series, models have finished fifth: Jordan (series three), Sophie Anderton (series four) and Gemma Atkinson (series six).
