I'm A Celebrity's Ant and Dec left 'gobsmacked' by contestant's identity

Ant and Dec were left particularly stunned by the identity of one of this year's I'm A Celebrity contestants, as the full line-up was revealed to the show's hosts.

After much speculation the I'm A Celebrity 'confirmed' line-up was leaked late on Thursday night with some huge names set to take part this year, including Boy George, Mike Tindall and Jill Scott. Other names in the frame to take on the Bushtucker Trials in just over a week's time include soap stars Sue Cleaver and Owen Warner and Loose Women presenter Charlene White.

Ant and Dec and I'm A Celebrity fans are especially excited about this year's show as it will be the first one to be based in the programme's Australian home for three years, after production shifted to Wales in 2020 and 2021, due to the Covid pandemic.

The Geordie hosts got a look at who was on this year's I'm A Celebrity line-up before anyone else and their reactions were filmed and then shared on social media. On seeing one of the first stars heading into the jungle, Dec remarked: "She's fun and feisty," while, giving his verdict on another of them, Ant reacted: "Hahaha, yes please," with Dec replying: "She would hate every minute of it."

It was the next reveal that prompted the biggest reaction from the lads as a shocked Ant shouts: "What? Shut up!" Equally taken aback, Dec screws his face up and mutters: "Wow."

It has now been confirmed that the new series of I'm A Celebrity will get going on Sunday, November 6 at 9pm. And the even better news for fans is that it will start with an extended 105 minute episode.
