Two I'm A Celebrity contestants look set to get their marching orders from the new All Stars series this weekend, as a result of a brutal twist just days in. And hosts Ant and Dec were plagued with nerves at having to break the news to camp.
The special run of the ITV show kicked off on Monday night, with hosts Ant and Dec once again at the helm as a line-up of former campmmates go back into the I'm A Celebrity fold for a second slice of the action. Among the stars competing to be the programme's first ever Legend are Amir Khan, Carol Vorderman and Shaun Ryder, who are just three of the original nine who headed into camp in South Africa on day one.
Since then there have been four new arrivals, with Gillian McKeith delivered to camp in a box, before her co-stars were informed via letter than Myleene Klass, Andy Whyment and Georgia Toffolo had also arrived, with them told to choose just one of them to take on the next trial.

After a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide, it was Toff who was chosen to take on the Dreaded Drains challenge, with her reward being that she got to go into the main camp, while Myleene and Andy were condemned to the much more basic Savanna Scrub.
However, Toff was then told that her arrival in main camp meant that numbers were too high and she would have to pick someone to join Myleene and Andy, with that person being Shaun, much to the anger of many viewers at home.
Andy and Shaun were then joined by Phil Tufnell but on Friday night's show, the trio are told they can join the main camp, but at a price - two celebs will be made to pack their bags, with Ant and Dec the ones to deliver the blow.
After being told of their instructions, Dec remarks: I’m a bit nervous about this one<2 to which Ant replies: Yeah, I am, it kind of rocks it a bit…
Viewers will see then see the Geordie duo tell the All Stars that three celebrities will take part in the first survival Trial of the series and that they will each pick another celebrity to do it with them. The pair that loses the Trial will leave camp for good.
Tensions are high as the celebrities realise they could cause the exit of a fellow campmate, as well as end their own time in camp. And if Andy takes part, he risks leaving Main Camp before he’s even spent one day there.
