I'm A Celebrity: Ant and Dec gasp as they react to seeing full line-up for first time

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have shared their reactions to the full line-up of this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! cast.

The Geordie duo posted a video of themselves reacting to producers revealing the full cast of celebrities while sitting down on the set in sunny Australia.

As a member of the show staff showed them each of the famous faces gracing the ITV jungle this year, the pair were over the moon and whooped ‘Yes!’ to each name.

With the identity of the celebrities still concealed from fans, Dec said to one face: “She's fun and feisty,” and then moments later on another: “She would hate every minute of it.”

With just ten days to go until the show launches, Ant then said: “What? Shut up!” at the reveal of another big name.

To another on the obscured laptop screen, he said: “We knew we would get you on there one of these days.” Dec said of another member of the cast that the pair had run into him recently and he had ‘never mentioned a thing’.

Ant ultimately labelled the full line-up a ‘very good cast’ and then both took photos of the laptop screen on their phones, as they joked they would post it on their social media.

Earlier today Jill Scott landed in Australia, becoming the fifth confirmed I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant of the upcoming series.

When she was asked what would be more nerve-wracking – the Euros final or the jungle – she said: "That is a very good question but I don't think anything will test my nerves as much as that final.

"I have never really been confronted by snakes and spiders in England so I don't know how I will react to them, apart from a spider in the bath every now and then."

Chris Moyles, Olivia Attwood, Sue Cleaver and Hollyoaks' Owen Warner have all touched down in Australia this week.

Radio DJ Chris, 48, was the first to land at Brisbane Airport and posed for photos in sunglasses and was in a joking mood as he got into a waiting car.

Asked if he was looking forward to spending time in Australia, Chris said: "It should be nice, fingers crossed anyway."

This comes after I’m A Celebrity's first terrifying challenge was revealed as a high-rise plank has been erected atop a skyscraper on the horizon of Australia's Gold Coast.

The dreaded walkway, balanced high above the surrounding coastline, will be the first trial the new batch of celebrities will undertake in the 2022 series of the show, as it returns Down Under.

Before heading into camp, hosts Ant and Dec will split the stars into two teams – one of which will have to undertake the dreaded Walk The Plank challenge.

In the new pictures taken above the 32 floor high-rise, a large metal structure with three red planks stretching out over the edge of the building can be seen on the rooftop.

The show kicks off on screen on November 6, arriving on ITV a week earlier than usual due to the World Cup coverage, which kicks off on November 21.

There will only be a small overlap between the events, which will both bring in bumper audiences for ITV.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Starts on ITV on November 6.
