ITV's I'm A Celebrity to air extra long episode to kick off new series

I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out Of Here will kick off with a special episode.

The show's presenters, Ant and Dec, will welcome the stars next week with a series of daunting challenges in a jam-packed first episode.

In a 105-minute-long premier, the celebrities will explain why they've decided to sign up. Ant and Dec will then set a series of tasks for them to make their way into the jungle camp near the town of Murwillumbah, New South Wales.

The new series kicks off November 6 but several of the show's lineup have already landed in Australia ahead of launch. Radio DJ Chris Moyles was the first celebrity spotted as he smiled and chatted with the paparazzi.

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 things in the jungle like snakes and spiders he added: "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."

ITV is yet to announce an official lineup but Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver and Love Island's Olivia Attwood have both been spotted in Australia before the launch. Hollyoaks star Owen Warner makes the fourth celeb to join the show but at least another 10 more are expected to take part.
