The stars of I’m A Celebrity’s Extra Camp, Love Island, Ibiza Weekender and more have joined forces For ITV2’s 2019 Blood Squad.
ITV2 and NHS Blood and Transplant have once again come together to appeal for young blood donors.
Hoping to dispel young peoples’ reservations about giving blood, last year’s first campaign saw an enormous 31,000 people registered as blood donors, a 19% increase in registrations compared to the year prior.
2019’s Blood Squad is led by I’m A Celebrity…Extra Camp hosts Emily Atack and Joel Dommett and comprises an array of other fangtastic famous faces who are urging young people to register and donate.
Love Island’s Tommy Fury, Molly-Mae Hague, Curtis Pritchard, Amy Hart, Anna Vakili, Yewande Biala and ITV2 Blood Squad veteran Dr Alex George are joined by Ibiza Weekender’s Jordan Davies and David Potts as well as Don’t Hate The Playaz’s Lady Leshurr, proving that the ITV2 Blood Squad is ultimate #SquadGhouls.
You can register to donate blood at blood.co.uk/itv2bloodsquad.
As part of the campaign, fresh, Halloween-themed promos will air on screen and across social media in the lead up to Halloween.

Mike Stredder, Director of Blood Donation at NHS Blood and Transplant said: “We need 400 people to register as new donors every day to maintain the blood supply, for the best chance of keeping patients alive. For many reasons it’s vital that young people continue to register and donate – particularly young men – not least because older people become less likely to be able to donate blood.
“Please do something amazing and book an appointment to start saving lives, especially if you live or work near to one of our donor centres.”
You can register to give blood by visiting blood.co.uk/itv2bloodsquad to find out how to sign up and book an appointment today.
