Bristol TV and radio star Carol Vorderman has put the iconic red fleece and khaki shorts back on and returned to the I'm A Celebrity jungle - but this time in South Africa for an 'all-stars' challenge.
The series is understood to have been already filmed - ITV confirmed that in January - and it will be screened on ITV in May, Ant and Dec revealed tonight on their Saturday Night Takeaway show.
Once the big reveal was made tonight, Vorders tweeted her hope that people enjoy it. "If you saw Saturday Night Takeaway then you'll know I'm on I'm A Celebrity South Africa..." she wrote. "OMG I hope you like the series when it's on ITV soon. You'll have a laugh anyway," she added.

Vorders finished eighth in the 16th series of I'm A Celebrity back in 2016, the one won by Gogglebox's breakout star Scarlett Moffatt with Thornbury's own Joel Dommett in second place.
This 'all-star' version of I'm A Celeb will be a bit different - the series will pit former contestants against each other, going head-to-head on challenges instead of competing to win stars as a team.
In January, ITV confirmed they had already filmed the series which involved "taking some of your favourite campmates from the last 20 years and taking them for a brand new challenge in South Africa."
he action kicks off on ITV1 next month with Ant and Dec once again on presenting duties. The special series, which marks I'm A Celebrity's 20th anniversary, has been filmed in advance in South Africa.
Stars taking part alongside Carol Vorderman are Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, boxer Amir Khan, Olympian Fatima Whitbread and ex-cricketer Phil Tufnell, the Daily Star reports. Former Coronation Street actor Helen Flanagan will be there and completing the line-up are Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo, supermodel Janice Dickinson and former royal butler Paul Burrell.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “They survived the Australian jungle, but South Africa is an even harder proposition which will push them to their limits and test them like never before. The challenges are bigger and tougher and the environment harsher and more unforgiving.”
Amir Khan said: “I’m determined this time not to be soft when it comes to the trials!” And Helen Flanagan added: “I will be scared but I will have a go and I will be a lot better than last time!”
