It might feel a bit funny, but I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is back this month. The popular reality television series, which has taken place in both Wales and Australia, usually kicks off in autumn and marks the countdown to Christmas, however, this year the series will also take place in April.
That's because ITV is launching an all-star series to mark 20 years of the show. I'm A Celebrity... South Africa will see stars of series gone by return to the show with the hopes of becoming the first I'm a Celebrity Legend. Those already confirmed for the line-up include Carol Vorderman, Helen Flanagan and Paul Burrell.
A synopsis for the series reads: "They survived the Australian jungle, but South Africa is an even harder proposition which will push them to their limits and test them like never before. The challenges are bigger and tougher and the environment harsher and more unforgiving. With no public vote, they will be competing against each other in a battle to become the first ever 'I'm A Celebrity Legend'. Whilst nodding back to the Australian jungle, I'm A Celebrity...South Africa is a uniquely different series so viewers can look forward to lots of unexpected twists and turns."
