Joan Collins - Dame Joan has ruled out ever taking part in the ITV series despite being offered a "a massive amount of money". She revealed last week: "I kindly turned them down. It's not my cup of tea. It's just not me."
Anne Robinson - Weakest Link presenter Anne Robinson told earlier this year how she has been repeatedly offered bigger and bigger deals to appear on I'm A Celebrity. She explained to the Radio Times: “I think the last offer from I’m A Celebrity was about half a million.”
James Arthur - Former X Factor winner James Arthur - who previously turned down an offer for Celebrity Big Brother - said he had "done enough reality TV".He wrote online: “Not going on I’m a celebrity. Making an album….I’ve done enough reality TV to last me a lifetime and I did that to have a shot at doing music so focusing on music.”
Ed Balls - Former MP Ed Balls said he had been offered a spot in the jungle back in the summer after losing his seat in Morley and Outwood during May’s general election, missing out by just 400 votes.Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Ed quipped: "I'd already subjected myself to one high-profile public vote this year, and I wasn't really sure that I wanted a second one."At least having to eat bugs and crickets wasn't part of the election process. I'm not tough enough for that."
Craig Charles - Craig was forced to leave the series last year due to personal reasons and had been tipped to make a return.But while the Corrie actor was more than up for it, his schedule meant he had to say no: "I'm filming Red Dwarf. We start filming Red Dwarf in November. We don't finish until March. That's the time they film the jungle."
Levi Roots - Levi Roots, of Reggae Reggae sauce fame, is another name who turned down a spot on the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here lineup. The entrepreneur, who rose to fame on BBC's Dragon's Den, told ITV's This Morning earlier this year: "I've already been approached a couple of times, [but] I don't think it's for me."
