The I’m A Celebrity countdown has begun as ITV dropped its first look trailer on Friday.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly star in the 60 second trailer, which will premiere on ITV1 this weekend.
The hosts get ready to welcome a new batch of celebrities who will, as the majestic voiceover says, ‘surrender’ themselves to the ‘ultimate jungle experience’.
From making eye-catching towel art, to delicately raking the sand to presenting some ‘exotic’ cuisine the pair are offering the new campmates ‘the full celebrity treatment’ as they open the doors to the 5* (ish…) Jungle Retreat.
The voiceover invites: ‘Come away with us, far, far away into the heart of a tropical jungle. Dream beneath the stars…’
It’s back! Brand new images show Ant and Dec running a ‘five star’ jungle retreat
Trip away: The retreat may seem luxurious but as ever, not all is it first appears…
It goes on to add: ‘Let us pamper you beyond your wildest expectations. You deserve this…’
But, of course, there’s a sting in the tail for those looking closely at the facilities on offer giving a hint to what might truly be in store for the new batch of campmates.
The trailer will first air on ITV1 on Sunday.
The line-up is yet to be announced but in the wake of last year’s dramatic cast including Matt Hancock, Jill Scott, Owen Warner and Mile Tindall, viewers will surely be in for a treat once again.
It comes after a mysterious trailer appeared on ITV during the Rugby World Cup, with many suspecting it signalled the return of I’m A Celeb.
Excited fans took to X – formally known as Twitter to express their delight. One wrote: ‘OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSS ITS BACK!!!!!!!!’
Another said: ‘I CANT WAIT!!!’ followed by a spider and snake emoji while a third wrote: ‘Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes’
The crew have been seen hard at work assembling the camp, which is in Springbook National Park in Queensland, New South Wales.
New series: I’m A Celebrity fans have been offered a sneak peak ahead of the show’s return just weeks away
Exciting: The new line-up is yet to be announced ahead of the show’s return
The lineup for this year’s I’m A Celebrity is yet to be announced but it was recently reported that First Dates’ Fred Sirieix is ‘in talks’ to star.
‘Everyone’s really excited that they’re close to signing him up.’
The maître d’, 51, who previously said he ‘would never’ go on the ITV reality show, has been lined up in hopes ‘he’ll be a hit with the ladies.’
Fred once revealed that although he ‘adore’s frogs legs’ the bushtucker trials aren’t up his ‘gastronomie’ standard.
A TV insider told The Sun: ‘Show bosses hope he’ll be a hit with the ladies watching, which is part of the reason they’ve targeted him.
In an interview with Hello! last year, he admitted the bushtucker trials put him off the idea of ever taking part in the reality series.
‘I don’t think I’d do I’m A Celebrity, I wouldn’t be too keen on eating a camel’s anus or something like that,’ he explained.
‘I know I eat frogs, I’m French, but at least those frogs are cooked!
‘They are deliciously prepared, whereas a camel’s anus is put in a blender and you have to eat it raw. It’s awful. I know people who have been there – it’s really not ‘gastronomie.”
It will be the second dose of jungle action for viewers this year after the first ever I’m A Celebrity: All Stars aired in spring.
Myleene Klass was crowned the first I’m A Celebrity Legend after she beat Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo, 30, in the tense finale.
Myleene – who first appeared on the show in 2006 – was named the I’m A Celebrity Legend.
Last year, former Lioness Jill Scott won the crown and title Queen of the Jungle.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns this autumn on ITV1 and ITVX.
