A beloved ITV show will be returning to screens next month. The latest season of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! will begin at 9pm on Sunday, November 6, with a special 105 minute episode.
Fans will be able to watch this year's celebrities explain why they have signed up, before taking part in a series of challenges hosted by Ant and Dec. Celebrities will need to complete the challenges to make their way into the jungle camp, located near Murwillumbah in New South Wales.
Radio DJ Chris Moyles, Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver and Love Island star Olivia Attwood are just a few of the celebrities that will be getting close to creepy crawlies in Australia. Chris was the first star to be confirmed for this year's line-up, after he landed at Brisbane airport earlier this week reports The Mirror.

Other celebrities that have been confirmed, include Hollyoaks' Owen Warner, and Sue, who have already arrived, whereas Rugby star and royal Mike Tindall, Loose Women star Charlene White and Culture Club's Boy George are still yet to arrive.
Following his arrival, Chris, 48, posed for photos in his sunglasses and was in a joking mood as he got into a waiting car. When asked if he was looking forward to spending time in Australia, Chris said: "It should be nice, fingers crossed anyway."
Quizzed if he was scared of what might be in the jungle, like snakes and spiders, he joked: "There's lots of everything in this country, like sport and beer and I am not scared of sport of beer. So I think I will be alright."
He added: "I have absolutely no idea what my family and friends would think of me doing a show like I'm A Celebrity. I have never asked them.
"But I think they would be much more nervous about me doing Antiques Roadshow." Back in 2012, hosts Ant and Dec said they wanted to see Moyles as a campmate when he was still a huge star on Radio 1.
Chris and Olivia arrived around 10 days before the start of the series, which is much earlier than usual, with Sue and Owen arriving a day letter. ITV asked the celebrities to arrive around a week in advance so that they could isolate and be tested for Covid.
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. An ITV source told the Mirror: "The celebrities are arriving earlier than previous years to isolate and test for covid before entering camp."
I'm a Celeb is back in Australia this year after the show was filmed in north Wales last year due to the Coronavirus. Before the celebs even arrived there has been drama at the camp, as the weather forced the site to close.
On, Tuesday, it was reported filming operations had ceased as a "precautionary measure", thanks to severe flooding. A spokeswoman for ITV told the PA news agency: "We closed site for 24 hours as a precautionary measure due to the inclement weather."
In previous years the Aussie camp was evacuated in 2015 as thunder, lightning and torrential rain poured into the jungle.
