I'm A Celeb first look sees wild west themed Bushtucker trial as camp moves to Australia

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is gearing up for a return to Australia this year and it seems the set is already being built.

The much-loved ITV show has been filmed at Gwrych Castle in North Wales for the past two years due to the Covid pandemic, but hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will be back in Australia this November.

New images show certain buildings being erected in Oz as the production team get to work on prepping the first Bushtucker Trial for the participating celebs.

One birds eye view snap shows what appears to be a wild west themed saloon opposite an outhouse, and both buildings are surrounded by plenty of trees and greenery.

It's unsure exactly what the first Bushtucker trail will entail, but no doubt it will involve plenty of creepy crawlies and maybe even some tasty things to eat.

Another photo shows that the infamous bridges are already up and running within the jungle, as well as the main studio where Ant and Dec host from every single night for three weeks. It's also where they interview the celebrities once they're voted out.

Bushtucker trials featuring water are certainly popular on the ITV show, and now that bosses have sunny weather back on their side, the celebrities won't be freezing in the Welsh winter climate.

Instead the 12 famous faces will be sleeping in hammocks amongst the trees as Australia's summer season kicks in.

Of course, there's plenty of crew needed for such a big television show, hence the snap which shows several production cabins and trailers which will be used by ITV staff throughout the duration of the popular series.

The images come day just days after hosts Ant and Dec were spotted filming an advert for the upcoming 2022 series.

Confirming for sure that the TV show is heading back down under, a helicopter the TV stars were using was flying the Aussie flag.

They were snapped getting in and out of the chopper, before using a blue screen to imitate a real-life skydive – seemingly to be used in the show’s trailer.

Pictures showed Ant puffing on a vape pen in between shots as he straps into a parachute before being suspended from a heavy rig.

Dec was all smiles as he laughed with Ant while shooting inside the helicopter after he looked to struggle with the giant harness.

It's unsure which lucky celebrities will be jetting off to Australia to partake in the 2022 series, but there's been plenty of rumours.

The likes of Danny Dyer, Tom Daley and Peter Crouch are all on the list, but no one has been confirmed as of yet.

It's also been reported that a spin-off series, I'm A Celeb All Stars, will be filmed in South Africa and hit television screens in 2023.

In a statement last month, ITV said: "Returning to its home in Australia after a two-year break, our celebrities will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind as they spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.

"Whoever does end up in the legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off from the outside world and their fate will be in the hands of viewers who could decide to send them into a dreaded Bushtucker Trial.

"Our BAFTA award-winning hosts Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night. Who will be crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle? Find out this Autumn on ITV."

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! returns to ITV this November.
