The group of celebrities -- which includes Danniella Westbrook, Antony Worrall-Thompson, Toyah Willcox and John Fashanu -- moved into the camp yesterday ahead of tonight's launch show on ITV1.
They had spent last week at a nearby training centre learning basic survival skills in preparation for the challenge.
Cricketer Phil Tufnell is currently favourite to claim the 'King of the Jungle' title with odds of 3-1 at William Hill. Willcox is second placed with 7-2 chances, followed by ITV weathergirl Sian Lloyd on 6-1. 12-1 puts Worrall-Thompson as the outsider.
Each will be hoping to be as popular with the public as veteran DJ Tony Blackburn, whose career was boosted after winning the first series of the show last year.
