I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here is now just days away from returning to your screens as the official start date has been confirmed. The hit ITV reality show will be back next month with a new bunch of celebs swapping their lives for Down Under.
The first trailer for the 2024 edition, which is the shows 24th series, shows hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly in a “secret jungle test facility” in Australia sending animals crawling over the heads of mannequins and shooting flame throwers.
The advert is soundtracked by Britney Spears’ …Baby One More Time, and also sees the presenting duo firing pink gunge at the mannequins and pressing a button to plunge them into pools of green liquid.

In the trailer, a voiceover says: “Putting fame to the test, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns Sunday, November 17 on ITV1 and ITVX.”
Speaking about the new series, an ITV spokesperson said: “This year, ITV’s much-loved presenting duo Ant and Dec are trading in their jungle jackets for lab coats, taking on the roles of mad scientists as they put the infamous Bushtucker Trials to the ultimate test.
“But which trials will make the cut? And which brave celebrities will be set to face them in the upcoming series? Find out when I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns to ITV1 and ITVX next month.”
The last series of the reality show saw TV personality and radio presenter Sam Thompson crowned king of the jungle, with boxer Tony Bellew finishing second and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage coming third.
Other stars taking part in last year’s series included JLS singer Marvin Humes, First Dates maitre d’hotel Fred Sirieix, and former jockey Frankie Dettori.
While this year’s line-up is still to be revealed, it has been rumoured that bosses have signed Coleen, 38, who is the wife of football star Wayne Rooney, following a very tumultuous couple of years following her court showdown with Rebekah Vardy.
Among the other names being whispered are former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, new addition to the Loose Women panel GK Barry, boxer and former Love Island star Tommy Fury, and footballing legend turned TV pundit Ally McCoist.
