I'm A Celebrity's Wild West set with Loon Saloon and Pest Office hints at explosive show

In the very first look at the brand-new I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! camp, a large Wild West-style area is nearing completion where the contestants will battle it out to win food for their entire campsite.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are back once again to front the iconic ITV show as it returns to Australia for the first time in three years.

The new I'm A Celeb set also features a bizarre-looking merry-go-round contraption and there is also a large pool with what appears to be a lighting rig built over it.

Elsewhere, Ant and Dec’s treehouse also appears to have a new orange canopy.

The new pictures of the 2022 set 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 new series 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.

Chris Moyles and Olivia arrived in Australia yesterday around 10 days before the start of the series, much earlier than usual, with Sue Gleaver and Owen Warner arriving a day later.

ITV asked the celebrities to arrive around a week in advance so they could isolate and also be tested for Covid-19.

If they were to be unfortunate and pick up coronavirus on the flight over, the idea was there might be enough time to isolate and still test negative before the series starts.

The twentieth and the twenty-first series of the ITV reality TV show were filmed in Gwrych Castle, Abergele, Wales due to the global pandemic causing major issues with international travel.

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