I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have confirmed a new version of the show will be filmed in South Africa.

The dynamic duo took to social media on Thursday afternoon to share some very exciting news with fans.

In the short selfie clip, Ant and Dec are seen in a picturesque location in south Africa as they confirmed a "special version" of the much-loved ITV show.

Dec speaks first in the clip and says: "Hello everybody, we've got news! It's probably the worst kept secret in television but we can confirm we are doing a very special series of I'm A Celebrity in South Africaaaaaaaaa!"

Ant was heard shouting: "Yay!" before joking: "Nobody told me!" to which Dec replied: "Really?" as Ant responded: "I'm joking! We're here aren't we?"

Dec then explained: "Yes we're here! It's gonna be your favourite celebrities from the past 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time in South Africaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Ant then asked him: "But are we going to Australia Declan?" to which he replied: "Yes we are, this year we are going back to Australia."

Fans were quick to reply to the tweet, with one person writing: "Can’t wait."

Another said: "Look forward to seeing it," while a third added: "More content with the two of you? Yes please!"

The line-up for the All Star series of I'm A Celeb is yet to be announced, but there's been plenty of rumours about who could be taking part.

Most recently it was reported that Kerry Katona and Myleene Klass could be doing Bushtucker Trials for one last time.

Myleene, 44, stunned viewers during her previous stint on the programme back in 2006 when she showered in a skimpy white bikini, a scene which is often voted by fans as one of the show's top moments.

Now, after lengthy talks, Myleene is said to have agreed a deal which will see her take part in the new series which will be filmed in South Africa's Kruger National Park.

Myleene is said to have joined her co-stars and is preparing to fly off to begin filming. The model is thought to be taking part to make her family proud and so her kids can see her "roughing it".
