ITV's I'm A Celebrity start date confirmed as All Stars 'secret' leaked

The start date for the new series of I'm A Celebrity has been revealed as a host of famous contestants make their return for the All Star series. And one of them has let slip, that there are more stars taking part than the confirmed lune-up would have fans believe.

Last year, a whole host of celebs jetted off to South Africa for the pre-recorded series, which was filmed before I'm A Celebrity went back to Australia for the first time in three years in November. After plenty of speculation, the identities of the campmates involved were revealed as the I'm A Celebrity All Stars line-up was announced on Saturday Night Takeaway.

Among the former contestants back for All Stars are Shaun Ryder, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman and Helen Flanagan, with Janice Dickinson, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell, Amir Khan and Fatima Whitbread also announced to take part.

And the date for when we'll get a first look at them in action has now been made public, with I'm A Celebrity All Stars kicking off on ITV on Monday, April 24.

The pre-recorded show won't have any public vote, with the contestants battling it out against each other to become 'Legend of the Savannah.'

There are nine stars on the confirmed line-up, but it was one of them, Carol, who dropped a huge hint that there'd be others joining them. As she appeared on Lorraine this week, the host asked her: "Can we mention everyone that's in there? I'm not sure we can."

And, rather than keeping tight lipped, Carol replied: "We can say who's the first nine," to which Lorraine responded: "Ooh there's more is there now Miss Carol?"

As a photo of the nine celebs appeared on screen, Carol added: "So that's the first nine."
