Actor George Hamilton receives star on Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles

LONDON, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- George Hamilton, Samantha Fox and Camilla Dallerup have signed up to compete in Britain's version of "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" producers said.

Also to appear on the competition reality series set in the Australian jungle are actress Lucy Benjamin, actor Stuart Manning, pop singer Sabrina Washington, celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo, "How Clean Is Your House?" star Kim Woodburn, and interior designers and partners Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan, the BBC said.

Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are to serve as hosts of the series, which is to premiere Sunday on ITV.

"There's an old saying that a coward dies a thousand times, but if you're brave you only die once," Hamilton told the BBC. "It's like when a fly hits the windscreen, it doesn't think anything. So if you hear a splat, that'll be me. ... None of my celebrity friends will be watching as they currently think I'm on a yacht in the South of France with a silk robe on and a glass of champagne in my hand, surrounded by beautiful women."

"I'll jump out of a plane, no problem," Fox vowed. "What I am scared of is creepy, crawly, wriggly, horrible things."
