I'm a Celebrity South Africa start date announced and it's just days away

ITV bosses have revealed the start date for the I'm a Celebrity 'all stars' series as the jungle show returns to our screens. Fans won't have long to go before they can see their favourites from previous series running the gauntlet again.

I'm A Celebrity...South Africa will see the return of some of the most memorable campmates from I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in the brand new setting of South Africa, with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly back at the helm. The stars may have survived the Australian jungle and Gwrych Castle in Wales since the show launched in 2002, but South Africa will see them pushed to their limits and tested like never before.

There will be bigger and tougher challenges and the environment will be harsher and more unforgiving. Also this series there will be no public vote as it was filmed last year, so the celebs will be competing against each other in a battle to become the first ever I'm A Celebrity Legend.
