ITV bosses have now confirmed the official start date for a brand new series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here with a twist.

Previous I'm a Celeb campmates have competed in the South African jungle for I'm A Celebrity All Stars, which has already been filmed ahead of airing.

During Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on March 25, the Geordie presenters announced the first batch of contestants that will be taking part in the series. These are: Amir Khan, Jordan Banjo, Helen Flanagan, Carol Vorderman, Fatima Whitbread, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell, Janice Dickinson and Shaun Ryder.

On Wednesday (April 12) ITV confirmed when the new series will drop. In a tweet, show bosses simply said: "Confirmed: I'm A Celebrity...South Africa starts Monday 24 April at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX".

The first episode will last until 10.30pm. Ant and Dec will return to their hosting duties as they front the new show.
