But not quite I'm A Celebrity-famous, as some viewers people have been wondering who the contestants are. One of which is Remi Burgs. While Remi's age is not known, the star's voice definitely is as she has been a host on BBC 1Xtra since 2021. Remi launched her BBC career hosting the channel's weekend breakfast show, and she's gone on to take up the mic at festivals like Parklife and Stormzy's Merky Festival.

Funnily enough, Remi also appeared as a cameo of herself in music industry drama Champion, by Queenie author Candice Carty-Williams.
