Ant and Dec halt Saturday Night Takeaway to make announcement over new ITV show

Ant and Dec made a huge announcement during this week's episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.

The Geordie presenters halted their evening entertainment on ITV to make way for a new programme coming soon. The show cut to a promo clip for a brand new edition of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The first group of celebrities taking part in the launch episode of I'm A Celebrity...South Africa were exclusively revealed live on air. Nine celebs have been confirmed so far, but ITV said there will be many more celebrities taking part in the series - however viewers will have to watch to find out who they are and when they will enter camp.

It is said to be the "toughest" series yet as the programme normally takes place in the Australian jungle rather than Africa. An ITV spokeswoman said: “They survived the Australian jungle, but South Africa is an even harder proposition which will push them to their limits and test them like never before. The challenges are bigger and tougher and the environment harsher and more unforgiving.”

They added: "Whilst nodding back to the Australian jungle, I'm A Celebrity...South Africa is a uniquely different series so viewers can look forward to lots of unexpected twists and turns."

I'm a Celebrity... South Africa full line up so far

  • Boxing Champion – Amir Khan
  • Diversity Dancer & DJ – Jordan Banjo
  • Former Coronation Street Star – Helen Flanagan
  • TV Presenter – Carol Vorderman
  • Olympic Athlete – Fatima Whitbread
  • Former Royal Butler – Paul Burrell
  • Ex-England Cricketer – Phil Tufnell
  • Supermodel – Janice Dickinson
  • Music Legend – Shaun Ryder

I'm A Celebrity... South Africa will air next month on ITV1 & ITVX.
