It has become summers favourite guessing game, just who are the Twelve celebrities going into the African jungle? DeciderTV’s Editors Kevin Perry & Steve Molk have had a think and offer their best guesses…
(We’d love to know who you think is going in & why – drop your best guesses in the comments!)
A Hollywood Heart-throb
Kevin: He was a legend of the Bodybuilding community before going on to star as The Incredible Hulk. Don’t make him angry, its Lou Ferrigno.
Molk: Dean Cain. Who doesn’t want to see the Lois & Clark star test his Man of Steel credentials in the African jungle?! Besides his short-lived Football career is just the right misdirection to suit the clue (besides South Africa’s not that far from Austria)…
ANSWER: Dean Geyer
A Pop Star
Kevin: A man that enjoys the finer things in life, Anthony Callea is going to be very entertaining living on rice and beans!
Molk: Anthony Callea more than fits the bill (I guess Rolf Harris is out of the question?).
ANSWER: Anthony Callea
A Theatrical Lady
Kevin: Yes I know its a distant long shot, but how much fun would it be to see Dame Julie Andrews in the jungle…
Molk: Rhonda Burchmore outed herself on her instagram account, though I’m with Kevin and would love to see Dame Julie surface. Could Carlotta be a left-field entrant?
ANSWER: Bonnie Lythgoe

A TV Star
Kevin: Toni Pearen. Not only was she a massive TV star in the nineties with E-Street, musically she released an album with two ARIA certified gold singles.
Molk: It’s time for the long overdue return of Tottie Goldsmith.
ANSWER: Jo-Beth Taylor
An AFL Legend
Kevin: Every reality show needs a bad guy, and Jason Akermanis always knows how to cause tension.
Molk: I’m not picky – give me Brendan Fevola or Wayne Carey or Jason Akermanis and I’ll be happy.
ANSWER: Brendan Fevola
An International DJ
Kevin: I may be a 40 year old Dad with 3 kids, but I Know my DJ’s. Im expecting to see Timothy Jude Smith (Timmy Trumpet) in the jungle.
Molk: I don’t know any DJ’s, so I’ll go with the current front-runner duo The Stafford Brothers.
ANSWER: Havana Brown
A Champion Sportswoman
Kevin: Layne Beachley. Seven World Championships is a record unlikely to be beaten
Molk: I concur with Kevin in Layne Beachley. Do you concur?
ANSWER: Courtney Hancock
A Rugby League Star
Kevin: Lock in Anthony Minichiello as the Rugby League Superstar, and don’t be surprised if his wife Terry Biviano shows up for the occasional cameo this season.
Molk: Matt Orford has been quiet of late.
ANSWER: Paul Harrogan
A World Class Comedian
Kevin: It could be a number of people but its interesting to note Akmal Saleh does not have any live performances booked for the next few months…
Molk: I reckon Jeff Green would be the perfect level of acerbic the jungle needs but it very likely is Akmal Saleh.
ANSWER: Akmal Saleh
A Television Icon
Kevin: I have a feeling Val Lehman just might be the Queen Bea of the Jungle
Molk: If Denise “Ding Dong” Drysdale is too tied up with Studio 10 to go into the jungle then perhaps Kate Ritchie is taking a short break from radio?
ANSWER: Val Lehman
The Megastar Cricketer
Kevin: Shane Warne seems like the obvious choice, but he has declared “You couldn’t pay me enough to appear!” Personally I’m expecting to see Ricky Ponting in the Jungle.
Molk: Ten have told us this famous cricketer is Australian and there is no bigger megastar than Shane Warne. Unless Damian Fleming has had a recent upgrade.
ANSWER: Shane Warne
The Reality TV Star
Kevin: She became Australia’s sweetheart after being dumped by love-rat Blake. Now she has a Sydney Breakfast radio show in desperate need of promotion. Welcome to the jungle Sam Frost.
Molk: Surely this heralds the long-awaited return of Ms Dirty-Street-Pie herself Laurina Fleur.
ANSWER: Laurina Fleur
