I'm A Celebrity first look at terrifying challenge as platform suspended from skyscraper

I’m A Celebrity's first terrifying challenge has been revealed as a high-rise plank has been erected atop a skyscraper on the horizon of Australia's Gold Coast.

The dreaded walkway, balanced high above the surrounding coastline, will be the first trial the new batch of celebrities will undertake in the 2022 series of the show, as it returns Down Under.

Before heading into camp, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will split the stars into two teams – one of which will have to undertake the dreaded Walk The Plank challenge.

In the new pictures taken above the 32 floor high-rise, a large metal structure with three red planks stretching out over the edge of the building can be seen on the rooftop.

This comes after DJ Chris Moyles, Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood and Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver became the first stars confirmed in this year’s line-up after touching down in Australia.

The stars are officially heading into the jungle after they were the first to land in for the new series of I'm A Celebrity.

Olivia vowed to wear a bikini in the jungle shower whilst Moyles was uncharacteristically quiet at Brisbane airport and said of his trip Down Under: "It should be nice, fingers crossed anyway."

Quizzed if he was scared of things in the jungle like snakes and spiders 48-year-old Moyles joked: "There's lots of everything in this country, like sport and beer and I am not scared of sport or beer. So I think I will be alright."

Model and reality star Olivia, 31, grinned at the cameras before explaining how she has always wanted to do the show but will miss her partner Bradley Dack.

She said: "I am scared of me, in terms of how long the other campmates can tolerate me. I will get myself in trouble somehow, the usual. I haven't packed very many bikinis, we are not allowed very many."

She added: "My friends and family have always wanted me to do this show so let's see how it goes. I love Ant and Dec, I have grown up watching them. They are British TV Icons."

Dressed in a leopard print cap and matching top, Sue cut a low-key figure as she was seen emerging from Brisbane airport just hours after.

The ITV soap fan favourite, who has played Eileen Grimshaw since 2000, was seen making a low key arrival as she said: "I love visiting Australia," before getting into a waiting car.

The show kicks off on screen on November 6, arriving on ITV a week earlier than usual due to the World Cup coverage, which kicks off on November 21.

There will only be a small overlap between the events, which will both bring in bumper audiences for ITV.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Starts on ITV on November 6.
