ITV I'm a Celebrity viewers declare the winner just minutes into new series as Ant and Dec poke fun at Babatunde fail

The much-anticipated new series of I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! has returned to Australia and launched with some typically elaborate entrances to the jungle. Ten celebrities have been whisked away from their lives of luxury and during Sunday night's launch show their journey to the jungle began.

The ITV reality show, which was decamped to a castle in Wales for two years because of Covid-19 restrictions, was back with a terrifying start with a challenge called The Ledge. Campmates Jill Scott, Charlene White and Babatúndé Aleshe were challenged to walk to the edge of a plank and, once all in position, take a step forward onto the ledge so they were leaning forward and facing down the jaw-dropping 334 foot drop to the ground.

Here they had to hold the position for one full minute. At the end of the 60 seconds they were asked to let go of the rope that supported them and plunge from their perch to win a coveted star.
