Ex-Dollar singer David Van Day and TV presenter Timmy Mallett are the latest stars to join ITV's I'm A Celebrity.
However, both stars got a shock when they were 'kidnapped' on their way into the jungle and they will now be held at ransom while the other campmates decide if they are willing to make sacrifices for their freedom.
Viewers of tonight's show will see the ten original celebrities faced with the decision of whether they will give up their own food and luxury items to stop the newcomers from going hungry.
So, who are these new 'celebrities'? Well, David Van Day first found fame in 80s pop duo Dollar with hits including Mirror Mirror and O L'amour. He was nicknamed David Burger Van Day after it was revealed he had set up a burger van business several years ago. Van Day is no stranger to reality TV and has appeared on Living TV's Pop Goes The Band and ITV's Reborn In The USA, in which he famously clashed with pop singer Sonia. Watch David in action...
Timmy Mallett is best known for presenting 1980s children's TV programme Wacaday which first featured the infamous Mallett's Mallet game in which he would hit unlucky contestants over the head with an oversized mallet. He also topped the charts in 1990 with a cover of Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.
The presenter hit the headlines recently after The Sun revealed that his mallet had been stolen and launched an appeal for its safe return. Take a look at Mallett in action...

Posted by: ruthbeynon on Mon Nov 24 01:26PM | Report abuseDavid Van Day is the most arrogant has been that has ever been on the show, I will be voting him to do all the trials as he is a real wimp and its great to see him squirm. Timmy Mallet is the most irritating person with that nervous laugh so the less we see of him the better.
Posted by: dicragg on Mon Nov 24 01:32PM | Report abuseMost of the people on the show this year are even below Z-list. Who on earth is Nicola Mclean? David Van Day is ridiculous and Timmy Mallett is annoying, though I think he's actually a nice bloke. Martina, Esther, Joe are the only ones I really rate. S@#$%ing the barrell comes to mind!!
Posted by: ceciliaosbourne on Mon Nov 24 01:55PM | Report abuseHave you heard David Van Day supposedly singing a song he just made up? biff boff something or other? Well it sounds suspiciously like "Wig Wam Bam" by The Sweet - yet another rip off of a song!
