Ant McPartlin has confirmed a 'brutal' change for I'm A Celebrity's upcoming All Stars series, which won't have a public vote and has already been filmed in South Africa.
Ant and Dec went off the radar for a bit in the autumn, before taking to social media to confirm that they were overseas to film a special run of the award-winning show. Past contestants linked with a return to I'm A Celebrity for the All Stars series include Carol Vorderman, Helen Flanagan, Dean Gaffney and Joe Swash, with his involvement in the programme seemingly let 'out of the bag' by Linda Robson, as the former King of the Jungle appeared as a guest on Loose Women.
It has been just over a month since England Lionesses hero Jill Scott was the clear winner as I'm A Celebrity returned to Australia for the first time in three years, but Ant and Dec are already talking about the All Stars version. The Geordie duo appeared as guests on Friday's Lorraine, on the eve of their gameshow Limitless Win returning to ITV.

The lads confirmed that I'm A Celebrity All Stars will air later this year, with Dec telling Lorraine Kelly: “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.”
Discussing how it will work, without a public vote, Ant explained: "“And it's slightly different to the show we do in Australia because they go head to head in trials and whoever loses leaves. It’s quite brutal, so that’s how we decided the winner.”
Dec added: “We’ve done it, we’ve shot it and it’s really, really good.”
