Melanie May | 9 November 2017 | News
This year’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! returns to TV screens this November with 15p from every phone vote being donated to Make-A-Wish UK.
The show starts on ITV on Sunday 19 November. The line-up has yet to be announced but celebrities rumoured to be taking part include Coronation Street’s Jennie McAlpine, former England Rugby player Ben Cohen, and numerous TOWIE stars.
Make-A-Wish UK will benefit by receiving 15p from every phone vote. It was chosen as the programme’s new beneficiary charity last year, and the funds all go towards granting the wishes of children with life-threatening conditions.
We're proud to join forces with @MakeAWishUK for #ImACeleb 2017 to help children with life-threatening conditions. Find out more 👉 https://t.co/3gR4I6oyO0 pic.twitter.com/QAUQE8LWMN
