Helen Flanagan and Carol Vorderman in terrifying trials in new I’m A Celebrity trailer

The advert for the latest series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here has recently hit screens, showing contestants including Carol Vorderman and Helen Flanagan facing terrifying trials.

Ant and Dec have previously told fans of the show that this year's series of the reality competition is set to be "bigger and wilder than we could have hoped for".

ITV have lined up iconic past contestants from previous series, including Jordan Banjo, Gillian McKeith, Phil Tuffnell, Georgia Toffolo, Myleene Klass and Joe Swash.

On which contestants they would want to return to the show, Ant said: "It's a question we always get asked...who would you bring back to the jungle? So to get this opportunity to make a brand new show in South Africa and put some of our previous campmates through their paces again was the dream."

Dec added: "It's bigger and wilder than we could have hoped for so viewers are in for a real treat!"

In the trailer for the series, former Countdown co-host Carol, 62, and former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, 32, were seen facing death defying trials – with one contestant appearing to be suspended in mid-air as they were tasked with jumping across large inflatables in the sky.

Another trial was included in the clip, with the women tasked with eating animal body parts. Carol was also filmed hundreds of metres above the ground, appearing to embark on a bungee jump.

This year's show will be based in South Africa instead of Australia and is set to hit screens on April 24.

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."

Back in January, The Sun reported that filming had been brought into chaos due to a gaggle of baboons interrupting the set.

The primates were said to have sat around and watched the trials as they took place.

Ant said: "There were baboons everywhere. Like, we’d be in the middle of doing a trial and then you’d just hear the noise, literally just behind the cameraman."
