Earlier this week, The Sun told how in a huge new move the UK and Aussie editions would be merged with major stars from both countries coming together for the series which will be aired simultaneously on Channel 4 in the UK and the Seven Network in Australia.
Now, we can exclusively reveal three of the stars who will be appearing on the next run.
Home and Away hunk Axel Whitehead will be appearing on the show after rising to international fame for playing Liam Murphy on the show between 2009 and 2013.
The actor also appeared briefly in fellow Aussie soap Neighbours in 2020.
He will be joined by two Olympic swimmers - including one with a famous reality star ex.
29-year-old Swimming champ Mack Horton and fellow Olympian, Emily Seebohm will also be on the cast.
Emily shares a child with MAFS heartthrob Ryan Gallagher although the pair are no longer together.
Ryan is best known for his time on the hit reality show as well as his brief romance with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby during their time on the Aussie version of I'm A Celebrity.
A source told The Sun of the three latest recruits: 'Bosses are working hard to make sure they sign an exciting variety of Aussie talent for the new series because of the format change.
'Soap fans will be no stranger to Axel after his time in both Home and Away and Neighbours, so he's a great coup for the show.
Watch as Celeb SAS Who Dares wins star Bianca Gascoigne QUITS show right at the very end of series
'And Olympic champions Emily and Mack are both extremely fit and strong after years of professional swimming. They're going to take the challenge very seriously.'
Two other Aussies have so far been revealed for the programme including soap star and singer Natalie Bassingthwaite and Jessika Power, who rose to fame on Married At First Sight Australia.
Jess has since relocated to England appearing on British shows including Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity Ex On The Beach.
Other UK stars who are understood to have signed up for the next series include Love Island winner Dani Dyer and Strictly hunk and rugby player, Ben Cohen.
Gladiators star Phantom AKA Toby Olubi will also be proving his stuff on the show alongside TikTok star Jack Joseph, 25.
England cricketer Graeme Swann, Love Island champ Gabby Allen and TikTok star Cole Anderson James are also understood to be on the line-up.

Ashley Roberts takes inspiration from Madonna's famous conical bra as she slips into a figure-hugging red satin dress for the UK premiere of Freakier Friday
She's no stranger to showing off her quirky sense of style. And Ashley Roberts took inspiration from one of music's most iconic stars as she graced the purple carpet for the UK premiere of Freakier Friday at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on Thursday. The former Pussycat doll, 43, looked incredible in a figure-hugging red satin dress, which boasted a top akin to the conical bra that Madonna famously wore during her 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour. The singer famously took to the stage in the Jean Paul Gaultier satin piece, with the look becoming one of the most iconic in fashion history. Ashley added inches to her frame as she paired her red dress with a pair of black strappy heels. To finish her look, Ashley opted for an elegant updo as she pinned up her luminous locks and opted for a chic middle part. Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, stars alongside L indsay Lohan, 39, in the now-smash hit 2003 comedy, which sees the two characters switch bodies, with hilarity ensuing. Fans had long hoped for a sequel to the iconic comedy but had an agonising wait as Freakier Friday is only now hitting cinemas - a whole 22 years on from the original. And now Jamie Lee has revealed why there was such a long gap between the two releases as she admitted she has long had her eye on a follow-up movie. Appearing on Wednesday's The One Show, Jamie revealed they had to wait until Lindsay was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work. 'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared. 'And finally someone in Australia said, ''well she is'' and I was like ''what do you mean?'' because I know her as this young girl so I don't know how old she is. 'So someone told me and I was, like ''Oh! well maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!''' Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman. To finish her look, Ashley opted for an elegant updo as she pinned up her luminous locks and opted for a chic middle part It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other's life. Despite barely having been able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other's point of view. The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store. Anna (Lindsay) is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teenager Lily (Sophia Hammons). Harper highlights her disgust as she's heard reciting mock wedding vows, in which she brands her soon-to-be step-sister 'a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent'. A flash forward to Anna's bachelorette party sees her and mother Tess Coleman sit down with a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer), who warns them they may learn another lesson by 'walking in each other's paths'. Anna and Tess then find themselves caught up in yet another 'freaky' body swap incident - only this time, it's not just between the two of them. The next morning, Anna discovers she's swapped bodies with daughter Harper, while Tess, aka 'Grandma', is now in the body of Anna's step-daughter Lily. Quadruple chaos then ensues as the foursome try to navigate their new roles with just days to go until the wedding.
