Page will enter the jungle alongside footballer Wayne Rooney, TV personality Chloe Burrows and soap star Claire Sweeney.
Rooney will follow in his wife Coleen’s footsteps after she finished as runner-up on the 2024 series, and said he hoped “people will see me for who I am”.
He said he had “always wanted to do” the show, joking that because of his short-lived football managerial career, he had more time on his hands.
“I like to have fun and I like to think I am actually a fun guy to be around.
“I do like to mess around a bit and I do talk a lot. People will have their own opinions, but I hope they will see me as a genuine person.”
Page will be also joined by Paralympian and TV presenter Ade Adepitan – who will be the first contestant in a wheelchair to appear on the show – something he said his eight-year-old self would not believe.
“Words like ‘honour’ and ‘privilege’ are the ones I feel, but I don’t think they sum it up enough,” he said.
“For me, this is a moment in time. Even if I go out in the first week, I will always be remembered as the person in a wheelchair. I am slightly overwhelmed.
“It’s never been done before, and it never crossed my mind I would be the first.
“This is a huge opportunity.”
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! starts on Monday, 16 November at 21:00 GMT on ITV.
