When is the first ITV I’m A Celebrity elimination and how does it work as two set for exit?

The first elimination of the series has been teased by presenters Ant and Dec during the latest instalment of ITV's I'm A Celebrity. The South African spin-off sees campmates from seasons go by return for an all-star series.

So far the camp has had four new arrivals, including Gillian McKeith, Myleene Klass, Andy Whyment and Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo. Those who joined the line-up during the launch show were Amir Khan, Jordan Banjo, Helen Flanagan, Carol Vorderman, Fatima Whitbread, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell, Janice Dickinson and Shaun Ryder.

Many ITV1 and ITVX viewers at home have been left wondering how the ne series will work. The show is not live as it was pre-recorded at the end of last year and as such there will be no public vote.

However, in the latest instalment of I'm A Celeb, Ant and Dec teased the first dumping of the series and gave a little insight into how things will work. As the episode came to an end on Thursday, April 27, a tomorrow night trailer teased a fight for survival.

In the clip, the current Savannah Scrub residents, Shaun Ryder, Phil Tufnell and Andy Whyment, appeared on screen as the hosts told camp some stars were at risk of going home. Talking to the contestants around the campfire, Ant revealed the first "Survival Trial" would determine who would be first to exit camp.

As the camera panned to Shaun, Phil and Andy, Ant said: "Three of you will be taking part in the first Survival Trial. All three of you will have to pick a celebrity to pair up with. The losing pair will head home for good."

Tensions are set to be high as the celebrities realise they could cause the exit of a fellow campmate, as well as end their own time in camp. And if Andy takes part, he risks leaving main camp before he’s even spent one day there.

Elsewhere the trailer teased "tempers flaring" as the fallout from contraband continued. Last night ITV bosses issued an ultimatum to camp after learning that some contestants had brought in things they shouldn't. Gillian was forced to give up her teabags while Paul admitted he had snuck in coffee and Myleene hid seasoning in her scrunchie.

Fatima was left less than impressed by the rule breaks and in the trailer for the next episode a baffled Jordan could be heard asking: "Why is everyone so upset? Just chill."

Paul then said: "What I don't like is people being shamed," as Fatima responded: "It's you who've brought shame to you."

I'm A Celebrity continues on ITV1 and ITVX on weeknights at 9pm. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
