It's only been a month since Jill Scott MBE was crowned the 2022 Queen of the Jungle, but already Ant and Dec have jungle fever once again, as they promote the brand new I'm A Celebrity: All Stars series.

Set for release later in 2023, Ant and Dec filmed the new show last year, with some of the biggest and best names who've appeared on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here over the last 20 years.

Appearing on Friday's (6th January) episode of Lorraine, the Geordie duo revealed more details about the new series, with Dec saying: "It’s kind of an all-stars… Taking some of your favourite campmates from the last 20 years and taking them for a brand new challenge in South Africa.

“So it's a completely different landscape and they're doing it again. They're competing to become the first ever I'm A Celebrity ‘Legend of the Savanna’... It’s very special.”

Revealing the differences to the live Australian series, Ant added: “And it's slightly different to the show we do in Australia because they go head to head in trials and whoever loses leaves. It’s quite brutal, so that’s how we decided the winner.”

Dec then claimed: “We’ve done it, we’ve shot it and it’s really, really good.”

Bosses are yet to confirm which famous faces will be taking part in the show, but rumours are rife as to which celebs will be returning.

Check out the rumoured line-up for I'm A Celeb: All Stars below:

Joe Swash

Former soap star Joe Swash is no stranger to I'm A Celeb! As well as winning series 8 in 2008, Joe went on to host the spin-off show for a number of years.

Dean Gaffney

EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney has one of the most memorable eating trials in the show's history thanks to his hilarious reactions in 2006.

Gillian McKeith

Who could forget Gillian McKeith? The nutritionist and TV presenter appeared on series 10 in 2010, finishing in 8th place. Gillian is probably most remembered for THAT faint during a trial.
After being rumoured to join the All Stars series she appeared in the first episode.

Andy Whyment

Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment, who plays the famous Kirk Sutherland on the soap, delighted fans when he appeared on the 2019 series. After being rumoured to join the All Stars series he appeared in the second episode.

With the boys being used to filming the show in Australia with plenty of creepy crawlies, snakes and spiders, it sounds like they were in for a bit of a shock in South Africa.

Ant told Lorraine: "Do you know what though, there was loads of baboons when we filmed the series.

“There was baboons everywhere. Like we'd be in the middle of doing a trial and then you would just hear the noise, literally just behind the cameraman, and a whole family of baboons… is that what you call them? A group of baboons? A school of baboons? I don’t know. A babble of baboons would just sit watching the trial.”

Dec then added: “They came along in the middle of the trial, they just came along and just sat there. That was the audience, yeah! Hopefully there will be a few more watching when it goes on telly…”

I'm A Celeb: All Stars is due to air on ITV1 later in 2023.
