Lorraine reacts to Coleen Rooney's rumoured I'm a Celeb fee
On Friday, ITV unveiled the identities of the 10 famous stars heading into the Australian outback to compete in I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
The A-Listers were revealed as Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones, Oti Mabuse, Tulisa Contostavlos, Alan Halsall, Barry McGuigan, GK Barry, Melvin Odoom, Jane Moore and Dean McCullough.
On Wednesday, the group officially swapped their luxury lifestyles and touched down at Brisbane airport, where they were met with a flurry of fans and paparazzi.
Videos of their arrival in Australia sparked a social media frenzy, as the press questioned them after the gruelling flight.
Body Language expert Inbaal Honigman spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk and revealed which celebrity was the most vulnerable ahead of the brutal trials and challenges.

On the surface, Strictly Come Dancing star Oti smiled and joked, “We’re hanging out with the spiders." However, Inbaal revealed, “While Oti chats to the awaiting press, she engages in a lot of shoulder shrugging.”
“This shows that she is uncertain of what comes ahead, but her intermittent smile lets us know that she’s ok not knowing.
She looks down a lot, which tells us that she’s not completely confident. Her body language is undecided, she’s there to have an interesting experience, but winning isn’t her top priority.”
The expert also analysed that Danny and Coleen were both nervous, as she stated: “Danny’s open-mouthed smile, laughs and giggles with the paparazzi appear honest, as an open-mouthed smile is rarely false.

“His one free hand gestures widely when he’s walking and talking, with his palm facing upwards in a show of honesty.”
On behalf of Spin Genie, she added: “He moves his head towards, then away from the journalists, which may indicate his nerves, as he struggles to focus on one topic of conversation.
“Another sign of his nerves is that he’s biting his lip as he walks, and his smile drops several times to reveal a slightly stressed expression.”
As for socialite Coleen, Inbaal said: “Strolling by the throng of awaiting photographers, Coleen doesn’t stop fidgeting.
“Playing with the zip of her hoodie, tapping her fingers on her thigh, she’s engaging in several self-soothing movements that show how nervous she’s feeling.”

“We’ve got face-touching, tongue flicking, fingers fiddling – Coleen’s smile is genuine and she’s happy but she’s also really nervous.”
Tulisa shied away from the cameras, hiding under a cap and mask, she told the press: “I’m not saying anything,” which Inbaal claimed was “powerful.”
“Despite Tulisa’s reluctance to chat with the press, we can see that she walks in a very confident, decisive manner. Her steps are strong, straight and confident, she’s not dawdling.
“Her powerful strides express that the singer is happy to be there and has every intention to go home as the winner.”

Coronation Street’s Tyrone Dobbs star was also spotted at the airport, and Inbaal said: “The perfect dad-walk shows that Alan is ready for anything.
“His shoulders square, arms by his side, quick, confident stroll and a bright, sunny facial expression, tell us that Alan is looking forward to his time in the jungle, and is planning to do his best.
“His consistent, unfussed body language, shows that he’s not letting any negative emotions get in the way of adventure.”
While boxing legend Barry appears “dominant,” Inbaal adds: “It’s the chest that does the talking during Barry’s arrival, carrying his entire posture forward.

“The former boxer walks tall and strong, as can be expected from an athlete, but it’s his chest that leads the way.
“His prominent, puffed out frontage shows confidence, almost dominance.”
“Paired with his pointed, raised index finger as he talks to the press, it’s evident that Barry has his eyes on the prize.”
Quite to opposite is podcaster GK Barry who Inbaal said appeared “vulnerable,” as she stated: “There’s an uneasy energy about GK’s airport arrival.

“Starting from her neutral smile, which doesn’t project confidence, then her stopping talking when her picture is taken, showing that she isn’t completely at-home with all the attention.
“An interesting observation is the way she pushes her airport trolley – one hand over the handle as normal, and one hand cupping the handle from underneath.
“There’s a fragile air about this cupped hand, and then on the escalator, the podcaster places her hand on the handrail very gently. She’s feeling vulnerable going into the jungle.”

The most “tranquil” of them all in the BBC Radio 1 DJ, and after an analysis, the expert shared: “Never has a man strolled onto an airport arrivals hall more chilled out than Melvin’s first moments in Brisbane airport.
“Walking with his feet a little wide, which shows confidence, his free arm swinging by his side in a totally neutral way, not pretending to be anything he’s not.
“His other hand drags his own suitcase with no airs and graces, and his expression – full toothed smile, eye contact with the airport interviewers, this is the fearless, relaxed body language of a man going on a well-earned holiday, not a series of bug-infested challenges. He appears delighted to be coming on the show, entirely calm and unafraid.”
Whereas fellow BBC presenter Dean McCullough appeared to be potentially regretting his decision.
Inbaal said: "Dean’s body language is a real mixed bag, as his stance and walk are confident – we see him strolling straight ahead, shoulders pulled back, legs strong, which shows that he’s secure in himself, about some aspects of the experience at least.

“His face, however, is a little jumpy. His eyes dart around, he’s licking his lips, and there’s a lot of facial fidgeting. This tells us that the DJ’s thoughts are racing.”
Elsewhere, Loose Women’s Jane “walks through the airport, chatting to those around her, using broad, rounded arm gestures which let us know that she’s going to be her true self.
“Eye contact with the interviewers around her also suggests that Jane isn’t planning on hiding her real personality.
Inbaal concluded: "Interestingly, though, the palm of her hand contracts several times. This tiny motion could indicate some nerves or even frustration."
