I'M A CELEBRITY RETURNS: FIRST LOOK AT OPENING EPISODE AS CELEBS ENTER THE JUNGLE

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’s return can only mean one thing - the time has come for a brand-new cast of celebrities to battle it out in TV’s toughest entertainment challenge.

Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night as our new line-up of celebrities for 2024 will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind and spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.

Whoever does end up in the legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off from the outside world and stuck on a diet of rice and beans - their fate will be in the hands of viewers who have the power to decide if they deserve to face a dreaded Bushtucker Trial. Who will be crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle?

Unlike previous series, the ten celebs will begin their journey with an "epic race to camp, in which they will form pairs to take on a series of challenges, where success could give them a crucial advantage over other players." The pair who wins will become camp leaders and allowed the privilage to sleep in Leaders' Lodge.

Entering the jungle this year are: McFly's Danny Jones; Professional dancer Oti Mabuse; Loose Women's Jane Moore; Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough; N-Dubz singer Tulisa; Boxing legend Barry McGuigan; Radio presenter Melvin Odoom; Coronation Street's Alan Halsall; TV personality Rev Richard Coles; TV personality Coleen Rooney; Social media star GK Barry.

The Sun newspaper reports the two late entrants will be Love Island's Maura Higgins and broadcaster Rev Richard Coles. This autumn on ITV2, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is launching a brand new interactive companion show called I’m A Celebrity…Unpacked.

Hosted by jungle star Joel Dommett alongside Capital radio DJ Kemi Rodgers and reigning King of the Jungle Sam Thompson, our new jungle trio will be primed to really dissect everything that is happening in camp and speculate on what might come. They won’t be shy in giving their opinions and expect lots of fun debate. 

They’ll strive to get all the latest behind the scenes gossip with unseen clips, exclusive interviews and the insider’s guide to the iconic Bushtucker Trials. They’ll also be joined by various exciting celebrity guests throughout the show’s run.

Viewers will be encouraged to join all the lively debates via social media and the app, as well as asking for their questions to be put directly to the campmates live in the Bush Telegraph or in the studio once they’ve left the Jungle.

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here returns Sunday 17th November at 9pm on ITV1.
