The programme, in which stars live in the world's harshest prisons, will feature Jack Osbourne, Toby Young, Debra Stephenson and Linford Christie.
Also confirmed are Will Mellor, Joe Pasquale, Donal MacIntyre and Marc Bannerman.
All the celebrities will live as inmates and undergo "a series of intimate, personal journeys".
Linford Christie will visit Belize's Central prison, where guards keep control with a sniper system, while Donal MacIntyre will be sent to Louisiana State Penitentiary, where cells are reserved for those facing the death penalty. Each presenter will apparently spend time with murderers, rapists and armed robbers.
Virgin1's director of programming Daniela Neumann said: "For the first time ever we will genuinely see these celebrities eat, poo, sleep and shower in the most disgusting prisons in the world.
"These are personal and intimate journeys for people who are used to soft cotton sheets, fine wine, gourmet food and toilet paper."
The Prisoner: X airs in the autumn.
