I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! All Stars line-up has been officially unveiled ahead of the pre-recorded show airing next month which will bring some very familiar faces back to the small screen.
The ITV show's hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly revealed the stars who will be taking part in the special version of the reality TV show which was filmed in South Africa live on Saturday Night Takeaway over the weekend.
The All Stars series of I'm A Celeb, which took place in South Africa's Kruger National Park rather than Australia, is set to run in addition to the usual annual ITV programme this year.
The stars will compete with each other to be the first I’m A Celebrity Legend. Ant and Dec will host the show, which starts at the end of April, and according to reports in The Mirror, unlike the usual show there will be no public vote.
Amongst the line-up are former stars and Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, Countdown host Carol Vorderman, Shaun Ryder and Amir Khan.
Joining them are Janice Dickinson, Fatima Whitbread, Paul Burrell, Jordan Banjo and Phil Tufnell.
Former WAG Helen, who is navigating life as a single mum of three following her split with Scott Sinclair is also returning to the jungle after being voted to do almost every trial when she first appeared on the show.
Referencing her last stint, she said: "Am I going to be a jungle warrior and amazing? No. I’ll be scared but I will have a go be a lot better than last time."
Series 16 contestant Carol Vorderman added: "Doing I’m a Celeb changed me and I can’t wait to take part. Our WhatsApp group from 2016 is still going."
Olympian Fatima, who famously got a cockroach stuck up her nose during a trial, spoke of her co-stars.
She said: "I learnt a lot about myself last time. There will be some life-size characters and life-size egos in South Africa too."
Boxing champ Amir Khan starred in the 2017 series of the jungle show, and now he's ready to do better in the iconic trials.
He said: "I’m a Celeb helped me beat my fear of spiders and snakes and made me tougher. This time I will not be soft on the trials."
Supermodel Janice Dickinson got into a jungle spat in 2007 during her time on the reality show, but this time around she is keen for harmony among the camp.
She said: "I’m back for more fun and friendship, and to get on with everyone. You never know what’ll jump up and bite you."
Diversity star Jordan also had his say on returning to the show, revealing: "A series with campmates from over the years is cool. My fellow Diversity dancers are excited to see me suffer again."
Meanwhile former royal butler Paul Burrell said it was "special" to return to the series, after his hilarious reactions to the trials in series four.
Paul, who recently shared he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, said: "Being asked again is special. I ate kangaroo testicles in Australia. I expect everything to be bigger in South Africa."
Ex-cricketer Phil Tufnell won the series 20 years ago in series two, and he said of his comeback: "They phoned to invite me back and I said yes immediately. I experienced it all in the jungle which really appealed to me."
Finally, Happy Mondays star Shaun is ready for all the action yet again. He said: "In the trials I ate a lot of penises, testicles and eyeballs. I loved living outdoors and could’ve stayed another year."
Ant and Dec took to Twitter in September last year to confirm the new show would be going ahead as they shared a video on the platform.
"South Africaaaa! That's right, we're filming a very special version of I'm A Celebrity in South Africa, which is coming to your tellies in 2023," they revealed alongside the clip.
"We've got news," Dec added: "It's probably the worst kept secret in television, but we can confirm we're doing a very special series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in South Africa!
"We're here, it's going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time."
Chatting with Lorraine Kelly at the start of this year, the Geordie duo revealed a few more secrets about the upcoming special.
Dec explained: "It’s kind of an all-stars… Taking some of your favourite campmates from the last 20 years and taking them for a brand new challenge in South Africa.
"So it's a completely different landscape and they're doing it again. They're competing to become the first ever I'm A Celebrity ‘Legend of the Savanna’... It’s very special."
