Fans of the show were impressed with this year's line-up, which also included former Strictly Come Dancing judge Dame Arlene Phillips, news anchor Richard Madeley and legendary footballer David Ginola.

However, the 2021 series didn't go without any hiccups...

After Richard Madeley left camp for a trip to A&E, the 65-year-old was later forced to quit the show after breaking his 'Covid bubble'.

Things then went from bad to worse when I'm A Celeb was forced to go off air for three days due to damage from Storm Arwen, leading a number of fans not to switch back on when the series resumed.

However, with the usual witty banter from Geordie duo Ant and Dec, and some pretty gruesome Bushtucker Trials, it's certainly been an entertaining series.

Although nothing has been set in stone just yet, the 2022 series of the hit show is expected to return to Australia.
