I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! fans are excited as the popular reality show is returning for a brand new season tonight.

The official line-up includes celebrities such as McFly's Danny Jones, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, singer Tulisa Contostavlos and WAG Coleen Rooney. The show, filmed in Australia, will be hosted by Ant and Dec.

Earlier this week, we revealed that the new season of I'm A Celebrity will kick off with a huge competition challenge and a new look camp as part of a series revamp. Executive producer Olly Nash said: "Every year, we try and create something new, and try and create a better or different.

"This year we're going out for an ultra competitive series, you've got a really positive cast, everybody's really happy and up for it, very few sort of nerves. Everybody's terrified, but can't wait to get in. So the advantage with all of them, is that faced with the competition from the very beginning will hopefully lead on to healthy competitions throughout the run."

This year, I'm a Celebrity will start at 9pm on Sunday, November 17. You can watch it on ITV1 and ITVX. The show usually runs for three weeks - and the final episode is expected to air on Sunday, December 8.

The new look camp and lodge also got the thumbs up from last year's King of the jungle Sam Thompson who is back in Australia for an ITV2 spin off show running alongside the main series from Sunday night. After being shown the lodge, Sam said: "We never had this! This is going to be the most amazing sleep that they've ever had. What I think is quite interesting is, we're bringing this in at the start, and I think it's going to be great because you're going to get people seeing how the other half live in the camp.

"For this year, it's going to be really interesting how people cope, because there's a lot of strong characters in this year. I'm kind of going against myself here... I think this is one of the best years, in terms of lineups, that we've ever had." There have also been other small tweaks to the camp, with a pair of people required to pump water in order to get a hot bath.

Earlier this week, podcast star and TikTok legend GK Barry is seen hugging it out with Coleen as the pair met for the very first time ahead of their jungle experience. It comes after GK Barry unveiled the health struggles she has faced. Recalling the chaotic recent weeks with humour, Grace shared why she had to skip out on the Pride Of Britain Awards afterparty. "I've been so ill to the point where my manager got me a drip," she shared.

"Have you ever heard anything like it? It's giving LA. She said, 'This is enough now you're actually on the verge of death'." After spotting pus in her throat, Barry received antibiotics to address her tonsillitis. However, it didn't stop there - as she then encountered gut troubles while preparing for a live appearance on Loose Women. Her manager even suggested a drip to quickly improve her condition.

On her podcast, Saving Grace, she went on: "I thought I'd get the drip and be like, 'Let's do the London marathon', we did the drip and I went for a nap. How does that work? So yeah I wouldn't suggest it." Despite the setbacks, Grace had been focusing on recovery and nutrition to ensure she can handle the jungle's dietary challenges.
