I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’s launch show has been confirmed for just a few days’ time as hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly return to the jungle series

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here will return in just days. The ITV jungle show is back for another series, with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly returning as hosts.

The ITV jungle show is expected to see some famous faces take to the Australian bush to enjoy the exciting offerings that only the show can – including Bushtucker trials, camp feuds and of course, Celebrity Cyclone.

And now ITV has confirmed the popular reality TV show has been scheduled to kick off on November 16, as they released an exciting teaser trailer starring Ant and Dec this morning.

In the clip, Ant and Dec are seen donning festive jumpers as they serve up gruesome looking meals to a family at Christmas. It opens with the dad telling a joke at the head of the table before the iconic I’m A Celeb jungle sound effect begins before one of them clears their throat loudly to interrupt the fun.

The pair are then seen bringing the iconic wooden cloches to the table, which are used to serve celebrities up with meals during the Bushtucker Trials. Surprisingly, the family look excited and grateful as they make “Oooh” and “Aahhh” noises before Ant declares to Dec: “It’s that time of year again!”

“It comes so fast doesn’t it,” Dec replies as they watch the family tuck into the disgusting dishes – surprisingly, with delight.

The family are then seen pulling crackers, which explode with gunge as they all burst into laughter around the table. Meanwhile, the daughter of the group reaches into a gunge-filled stocking to pull out a star.

Ant and Dec watch the festive mayhem ensue before Ant declares: “‘Tis the season…” before Dec places something in his mouth to interrupt Ant as he says: “For I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” The show’s iconic theme tune plays before a voiceover adds: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! returns Sunday, 16 November live on ITV1 and ITVX.”

Speaking about the show’s return for another year, Ant said: “It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and it’s about to get even better with the news that the new series of ‘I’m A Celebrity…’ is just weeks away!” Dec added: “Yes, it’s time to Ant and Dec(k) the halls and clear your diaries, because we’re coming back to your screens on 16th November!”

Ant: “As everybody knows, nothing says Christmas like a host of hungry celebrities in the Aussie jungle covered in bugs” Dec: “It’s the gift that keeps on giving. You’re welcome!”

This means fans don’t have long to wait to get their I’m A Celeb fix. The celebrities taking part have yet to be announced but they will be travelling to Australia soon.

As usual, the contestants will be ‘revealed’ when the celebrities touch down in Australia for ‘recording trips’ or ‘golfing adventures’. A few days after this, it will be confirmed who will be entering the jungle.

It has also been confirmed that the companion show ‘Unpacked’ will be back, with comedian Joel Dommett and presenter Kemi Rodgers back at the helm of the spin-off show, which replaced its old iteration Extra Camp.

Speaking about the show returning, Joel said: “We’re back! We don’t know who’s going in the jungle – they don’t tell us anything. We get to watch other people go through it all. Obviously it’s been a massive part of my life. I was in it in 2016.

“It’s so nice to go back and see what people go through now when I went through 10 years ago … It’s just great to get them as soon as they get out of the jungle. We have the interview next day when they’re a bit cleaner.”

“We get the exclusives as well and the trials. We dive deeper,” Kemi added. During an appearance on Good Morning Britain to make the announcement, hosts Ranvir Singh and Ed Balls tried to find out who was heading in but to no avail.

The ITV show will return to our screens on Sunday November 16th, which means we are just days away from the upcoming new series with some huge famous faces set to take on the show’s best trials so far.

Bosses will be making a major change this year, inspired by Love Island. “We know how popular the Love Island first look clip is so we wanted to offer something similar for fans of I’m A Celebrity. Camp life can be both dramatic and hilarious and the new I’m A Celebrity first look clip will tease some of those moments ahead of the show airing that night,” a source said.

I’m A Celebrity All Stars will also be making its return next year. For the first time, the final will be live in London and viewers will be able to choose their winner.

Ant said of the show returning to our screens next year: “The campmates really brought their A-game to the first series so we can’t wait to be back for more trials, challenges and surprises amongst the beautiful South African landscape.”

Dec added: “Having a live final is an exciting addition to the new series with the viewers choosing their IAC Legend and we’ve heard some of the new trials are truly epic, even by I’m A Celeb… standards!”
