Celebrities Prior to the official announcement of any of the celebrity participants, Nadine Dorries, the UK Conservative Party MP for Mid Bedfordshire, was suspended from her party for failing to tell the Chief Whip she could be absent from the House of Commons and her constituents for a month as she was to appear on the reality TV show and heavily criticised for opting to take part. She is also to be investigated by the Parliamentary Standards Officer over claims she may have breached the MPs' Code of Conduct, with Theresa May, the Home Secretary, adding her concerns by saying it is "frankly" the job of MPs to be in their constituency and the House of Commons.
It has been revealed that boxer David Haye received an appearance fee of £165,000, which is about £100,000 more than the other contestants received. In addition to the higher appearance fee, Haye's contract stated that he must have access to a gym – which he was given.
The official line-up was announced on 7 November 2012.

Notes N.B. Bottom two is not a strict indication of the public vote as names are generally revealed "in no particular order". In order to win immunity from the first public vote all celebrities took part in a task called "Bush Buddies". They will then take part in a 'Bed Bugs' task, in which the first five who accumulate the most time in the beds will be given immunity, while the other six will face the public vote. All of the celebrities faced the public vote; the bottom two were revealed as Eric and Colin. The other celebrities were declared safe and on Day 17 both Eric and Colin faced a bushtucker trial called "The Panic Rooms". Eric won the trial, while Colin was sent home. The public were voting for the celebrity they wanted to win rather than to save.
Bushtucker trials The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food
The public voted for who they wanted to face the trial The contestants decided who did which trial The trial was compulsory and neither the public or celebrities decided who took part

Notes The celebrities were separated into two teams, based on how they travelled into the jungle. The winning team would stay in 'Croc Creek', the more luxurious of the two camps in the jungle. The losing team would move into the 'Snake Rock'. Both Helen and Nadine quit the trial, therefore neither were rewarded the food for their camps. Nadine won by eating four meals. Therefore, she won four meals for her camp. Helen originally won four stars, but they were disallowed as she grabbed them with her hands instead of her mouth. After the klaxon sounded, Helen stepped off the wheel and refused to do the trial. This marks the third time in I'm a Celebrity history that a contestant has refused to do a trial, after Kerry Katona in series 3 and Gillian McKeith in series 10 which Ant and Dec allowed. Colin and Rosemary were excluded from this trial on medical grounds. This trial decided who left the camp between Eric and Colin and how the camp would be fed that night. Charlie took part with Colin, and Rosemary with Eric. Each celebrity had to collect as many stars as they can to stay in camp, it was then revealed on Day 17 that Colin had collected fewer stars than Eric, so had to leave the jungle. This trial was originally attempted by Helen, but as she quit the trial, it was decided for it to be re-attempted by David.

Dingo Dollar challenges This series, the 'Celebrity Chest' games have been replaced with the 'Dingo Dollar Challenges'. In a similar style to the celebrity chest, one member from each camp (Croc Creek and Snake Rock) will go head-to-head to win the 'Dingo Dollars'. The winning celebrity can then take the dollars to the 'Outback Shack', where they can exchange them for camp luxuries with kiosk Keith. Two options are given and the celebrity can choose which they'd would like to win. However, to win their luxury, a question is asked to the celebrities still in camp via the telephone box. If the question is answered correctly, the celebrity who won the challenge can take the items back to camp. If wrong, they receive nothing.
