The celebrities braved the Australian Jungle, but now their challenges will be bigger, tougher, and their environment entirely more unforgiving in South Africa.

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has been a British staple since 2002, with over 250 celebs competing for the title of King or Queen of the jungle since its inception. Ant and Dec have swapped their usual Australian backdrop for the South African jungle and brought back some of the most iconic celebrity contestants who will battle to win the first ever title of “I’m a Celebrity Legend”.

The duo’s first new series in over 10 years will revolve around “the world’s first limitless money ladder.”

Contestants climb the ladder with every question they correctly answer. They will also need to do so to bank the cash.

It is a recipe for jeopardy that is hinted at in the dramatic promo which sees Ant and Dec reacting with shock and horror for reasons as yet unknown.
