The ages of the I’m A Celeb cast, ranked from youngest to oldest

Why did I think Coleen Rooney was much older?


This year’s I’m A Celeb cast has a truly mixed bunch when it comes to ages, with veteran reality TV stars like Jane Moore having decades of experience compared to the likes of GK Barry.

This year’s I’m A Celeb cast is stacked with names like Jane Moore, GK Barry, and the ever-controversial Tulisa. Viewers are already getting to know the celebs, from Danny Jones’ lies about snakes to Tulisa’s recent display of shocking maths skills.

While previous seasons have been packed with older British celebrities, for once, the ITV producers have covered all their bases with celeb representatives for Gen Z, millennials, and baby boomers.

GK Barry – 25

Influencer and TikToker GK Barry, full name Grace Eleanor Keeling, has captivated the audience with her quick wit and proficiency for screaming. She was born on August 12 1999, making her the youngest of the bunch at 25.

Dean McCullough – 32

Though he’s already been designated as the villain of the series, DJ Dean McCullough has had passionate defenders in his corner during his I’m A Celeb stint. Dean was born on July 9 1992, making him 32 and a Cancer, which could explain his behaviour.

Maura Higgins – 34

I think we all collectively screamed “WHAT” when Maura revealed that she is 34 years old during a recent episode of I’m A Celeb. She was born at the onset of the 90s on November 25 1990, with her star sign being an adventurous and optimistic Sagittarius.

Oti Mabuse – 34

Oti Mabuse is another I’m A Celeb contestant who exudes youthful energy, so imagine my surprise when I learned that she was Leo born on August 8 1990. She is currently 34 years old.

Tulisa – 36

The world has fallen in love with Tulisa, and her openness about sexuality, after she earlier fled from the UK after years of scandal and press persecution. Tulisa was born July 13 1988, making her a 36 year old Cancer.

Coleen Rooney – 38

Coleen Rooney was born on April 3 1986, making her 38 and an Aries. Considering people with the Aries sign are thought to be short-tempered, her star sign might explain the ongoing Wagatha Christie drama.

Danny Jones – 38

Many of us grew up with a baby-faced Danny Jones dancing around the stage as one part of the British boyband McFly. Well, that baby has now grown up and Danny Jones is 38 years old. He’s a Pisces, just in case you want to check your compatibility.

Alan Halsall – 42

Alan Halsall is another of the I’m A Celeb cast who has been a familiar face on our TV screens for years. The Leo was born on August 11 1982, making him 42.

Melvin Odoom – 44

Radio gained a new champion on July 30 1980 as Melvin Odoom was born. Like Alan and Oti before him, Melvin, 44, is a fierce and passionate Leo.

Jane Moore – 62

Though some have argued that Jane Moore is being deliberately divisive on I’m A Celeb, she has learned those skills from her long tenure on Loose Women. Jane, 62, was born on May 17 1962 and joined the likes of Adele and Kelly Clarkson as a Taurus.

Reverend Richard Coles – 62

Reverend Richard Coles just missed out on the honour of being 2024’s oldest I’m A Celeb cast at 62 years old. He was born on March 26 1962 so his star sign is an Aries.

Barry McGuigan – 63

And the award for the oldest I’m A Celeb castmate goes to former professional boxer Barry McGuigan at the grand old age of 63. He was born a Pisces on February 28 1961.
