The first series of I'm A Celebrity...South Africa is right around the corner as we see some of the show's most iconic faces make a comeback.
The pre-recorded season will feature some familiar stars who previously appeared on other editions of the show with one hoping to be crowned the first I'm A Celebrity Legend. Unlike the original format, the winner will not be decided by a public vote.
Instead, the celebrities will be competing against one another to be crowned the legend. One of those hoping to take the crown is TV personality Janice Dickinson.

Janice will be a welcome return for long-time viewers of the series. Back in 2007 she was a fan favourite and came second place, losing only to Christopher Biggins.
Also on that series of the show were 5ive singer Jason Brown, singer Cerys Matthews, actress Gemma Atkinson, presenter Anna Ryder Richardson, former footballer Rodney Marsh, chef John Burton-Race, PR guru Lynne Franks, The Apprentice contestant Katie Hopkins, actor Marc Bannerman and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren.
The former supermodel, 68, said she can't wait to get back in the jungle. She said: "I’m coming back for more fun, more camaraderie and to see if I can get along with everyone.”
However, like many other previous contestants, Janice's journey throughout the jungle didn't come without its drama. When looking back at her time in I'm A Celeb, she said: "I learnt that I could be ok with myself, if things were happening on one side of the camp I would just pick myself up and move.
"I found out it was ok to be by yourself, although you never know what creepy crawlies are going to crawl out from a log. You never know what’s going to jump up and bite your ass."
Geordie presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will present I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.
The celebrities returning to take part include former professional cricketer Phil Tufnell, former professional boxer Amir Khan, former professional javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread, Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder, US model and TV personality Janice Dickinson, former royal butler Paul Burrell, Diversity star and Kiss FM DJ Jordan Banjo, former Countdown star Carol Vorderman and former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan.
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa will air on ITV1 and ITVX on Monday at 9pm.
