If you've ever watched the trials on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and thought 'I could do that' - now's your chance!

A new attraction called I'm A Celebrity... Jungle Challenge is opening in Manchester on July 30th, letting you experience some of the challenges that we've watched the celebs take part in over the years.

Campmates will be taken into the heart of the jungle to navigate a series of physical challenges, inspired by the ITV show.

It's already got the seal of approval from presenters Ant and Dec, who got their chance to battle it out for King of the Jungle.

Dec said: "Every year during I'm A Celebrity, we get tons of messages from viewers saying they'd love to be able to have a go at the trials - and now they can! We had such a blast trying them all out and some are tougher than you think!"

Ant reflected on his victory by adding: "It was so much fun and I can confirm the Throne is the perfect place to rest up when you finish!"

Featuring Main Camp, the Throne and Winners Bridge, the campmates' race against the clock in a bid to collect stars.

Scale The Ascent, an 8.1m vertical rock climb, reach dizzy heights racing across the suspended Treetop Trail, scramble nets, balance on beams and swing round the Jungle Run, take a leap of faith on Get a Grip and glide through the trees on a Zipline, all as part of timed trials.

Whilst there’s no critters to be seen, Campmates could find themselves taking on Kiosk Kev and a multiple-choice Dingo Dollar Challenge, if the iconic telephone boxes start to ring out.

I’m a Celebrity… Jungle Challenge will also feature Europe’s first ever ceiling-mounted Spyrider; a high-speed track which will whiz above the jungle canopy in just 18 seconds*.
