Good Morning Britain entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold has tipped Joanna Page to win I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! when the series returns on Monday, November 16 at 9pm on ITV and ITVX. The show will run for three weeks, with the all-star cast already arriving in Australia.
The Swansea-born actress is among a lineup that includes football icon Wayne Rooney, Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, and Paralympian and TV presenter Ade Adepitan.
Arnold's prediction for the jungle crown
Speaking on Wednesday's episode of Good Morning Britain, Richard Arnold told hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid: "Joanna Page has absolutely what it takes to be Queen."
He added: "She loves a chatter, she loves a natter, and if you've listened to her podcast, you know that. She's so warm, she's the every woman, I think, as I say, Ricky Wilson, the every man."
Arnold also commented on other contestants, saying: "Wayne's obviously got some skin in the game, literally skimming the game. Claire Sweeney will be flexing the pipes as well, and as I've said before, she's got a gob on her, and it's a lovely one, so she'll be singing around. They've all got form."
Page's motivation and hints at the lineup
Arnold continued: "Joanna Page has also said in a pre-interview she wants people to know the real Joanna, and to make her children proud. I think Joanna has already opened a book quite far, as I say, on her podcast, but she is so adorable."
He added: "So I think I've probably staked my claim already; I'm probably getting in early for her to be queen of the jungle."
Arnold also hinted that comedian Leigh Francis could be among those entering the jungle, although ITV has not confirmed his involvement.
