Contestants will be taken to an extinct volcano in South Queensland

The first show was won by Tony Blackburn and was recently awarded a BAFTA

Check out our picture gallery of Toyah Willcox on Top of the Pops, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Ready, Steady Cook and with Rolf Harris.

It will be a long journey for Toyah Willcox from her Worcestershire home near Throckmorton to the Australian bush, where the second series of "I'm a Celebrity... get me out of here" is being filmed.

You can get odds of 6-1 on her winning the show - but then nobody thought that Tony Blackburn would emerge triumphant from the last show, so stranger things have happened.

If you look closely at the career of the 44 year old singer/actress then there are some things that could help her survive the rigours of the outback:

  • Cooking: she's appeared on Celebrity Ready Steady Cook and so she's used to whipping up dishes in a hurry and under pressure.
  • Wildlife: she's worked with Rolf Harris on Animal Hospital so she may have picked up some tips on Antipodean fauna.
  • Fighting: she trained as a wrestler for the play Trafford Tanzi, so if things get rough she should be able to hold her own.

If you want to have a bet on the show here are the other contestants and the odds they're being given.

  • Phil Tuffnel - cricketer: Bookies fav. at 3-1
  • Chris Blissom - actor: 5-1
  • John Fashanu - ex-footballer: 5-1
  • Toyah Willcox - actress/singer: 6-1
  • Anthony Worrall-Thompson - chef: 7-1
  • Catalina - model: 7-1
  • Linda Barker - designer: 8-1
  • Daniella Westbrooke - actress: 10-1
  • Sian Lloyd - weathergirl: 12-1
  • Wayne Sleep - dancer: 16-1
