Exciting! The new series sees the return of some of the most memorable roommates from I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in the brand new area of South Africa
The challenges get bigger and tougher and the environment harsher and more unforgiving than the usual Australian jungle.
Without a public vote, they will go head-to-head in a battle to become the first I’m A Celebrity Legend.
Ant said: “That’s a question we’re always asked… who would you put back in the jungle?
“So to get this opportunity to do a brand new show in South Africa and put some of our previous housemates through their paces again was the dream.”
Dec added, “It’s bigger and wilder than we could have hoped for, so viewers are in for a real treat!”
Former soap actress Helen, who appeared in the 12th series in 2012, entertained viewers for the first time.
Helen reportedly annoyed producers and even hosts Ant and Dec by completing numerous challenges without even attempting them, causing tension at camp as the celebrities went without food for almost 10 days.
She said of her return to the show, “I’m not saying I’m going to go in and be a jungle warrior and be absolutely amazing because I’m not going to do that.
“Yes, I will be scared, but I will try and I will be much better than last time!”
Former Countdown star Carol became the eighth celebrity voted off the 2016 series and spent 18 days in the Australian jungle alongside winner Scarlett Moffatt after entertaining viewers with her flirty banter and jungle showers.
Carol said of her return: “Being a celebrity has changed me a lot and I can’t wait to be a part of this new series.
“I loved everything about I’m a Celebrity [the first time round].’
She added: “We still have a WhatsApp group!”
Come back! The first nine celebs to star in the all-stars spin-off of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! were unveiled earlier this week
