First look at Dec & Holly in the Jungle in new I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! trailer

I’m a Celebrity returned to to ITV on Sunday night (18 November) with a new bunch of celebrities that’ll no doubt be chomping on witchetty grubs.

This year’s camp mates include former football manager Harry Redknapp, The Chase star Anne Hegarty and John Barrowman (Torchwood). DIY SOS’s Nick Knowles, soap star Sair Khan (Coronation Street) and James McVey from boy band The Vamps also feature.

Recent reports have also claimed that British presenter Noel Edmonds will enter the Australian jungle as this year’s secret camp mate. Bosses are said to have offered him £500,000 to take part – the most money the ITV show has ever paid for a celebrity.

Declan Donnelly kicked off the 18th series without his trusted partner, Ant McPartlin, who has taken a hiatus from presenting to battle a number of personal problems. He’s replaced by This Morning host Holly Willoughby.

I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here continues nightly on ITV at 9pm

Post-watershed Holly Willoughby, ladies and gents.

For someone who doesn't like heights, Rita Simon's doing a bloody good job climbing this crane, suspended over what is probably an 800 foot drop. Rather her than me.

Not a very exciting task otherwise.

"They're not gonna let us die" is terrific rationale from Sair.

Ten millions of us are currently sat indoors watching a soap star struggle to unclip a flag from a crane.

Soundtracked by The Dark Knight.

Barrowman's good for morale, to be fair.

They just used the Interstellar score. Someone at ITV loves Christopher Nolan.
