In scenes to be shown during Sunday’s show, ten celebrities will be whisked away from the life of luxury as their journey into the jungle begins with three terrifying challenges.
Leaving their plush pads and comforts far behind, the 10 celebrity campers will spend up to three weeks following a record 24 grueling trails in the harsh environment of the Australian bush.
Back with a bang: The highly anticipated new series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns to Australia with one of the biggest and most elaborate Jungle Camp entrances to date
Kicking off the series in style, five celebrities show up in luxury cars to a stunning waterside villa on the sunny Gold Coast.
Radio legend Chris Moyles, Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, journalist Charlene White, comedian Babatúndé Aléshé and English lioness Jill Scott meet and nervously wait for their jungle journey to begin.
Meanwhile, pop icon Boy George, former England rugby player Mike Tindall, Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver, property expert Scarlette Douglas and Hollyoaks star Owen arrived by boat in a glittering marina. Warner, who all met and discussed what might happen next.
Hosts Ant and Dec looked smug as they arrived in style to greet this year’s top 10 celebrity housemates.
Upon arrival, the celebrities learn that the public has voted to name the VIPs of the Jungle and who they want to see have the toughest trip to camp and face the first test.

Vault Seeker: Olivia looked nervous as she embarked on her terrifying jungle journey
Brave: Olivia and Chris face the ultimate parachute entry as they are forced to jump out of a helicopter and into the jungle
Three celebrities, Babatúndé, Jill and Charlene, then travel to the iconic Focus building in Surfers Paradise, Australia for the famous board challenge – with a twist.
Now called The Ledge, teammates must walk to the edge of the board and once in position, step forward onto the ledge so they are leaning forward and looking down at the 334-foot drop that falls to the ground.
Here they must hold the position for a full minute. At the end of 60 seconds they must let go of the rope supporting them and dive from their perch to each earn a coveted star.
Comedian Babatúndé was unable to face his fear of heights and was unable to take part in the Walk The Plank trial that traditionally kicks off the series.

Elsewhere, Olivia and Chris face the ultimate parachute entrance as they are forced to jump out of a helicopter and into the jungle.
The rest of the campmates, Mike, Sue and Owen, are about to experience a boat trip unlike any other at camp.
The three stars are locked on the mast of a boat, called the Critter Cruise – with each celebrity having to take on a challenge to unlock each other.
Mike must enter the water and appear inside an overturned boat and inside he finds letters associated with numbers, leaving him with a code to crack.

Waiting patiently: Radio legend Chris Moyles, Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, journalist Charlene White, comedian Babatúndé Aléshé and English lioness Jill Scott all meet and wait anxiously for their jungle journey to begin.
Sue’s challenge sees her take on the bait shack. Here three hellholes are filled with creatures.
Inside, she must find the fish eyes, peel them off, and she’ll earn her code to open her lock.
Finally, Owen has to get a pipe that is blocked and faces ignoring the bugs and dirt to remove the bolts and unlock the grill.

It was revealed on Tuesday that Matt Hancock is also heading to the Australian jungle as a surprise late arrival.
The MP, who resigned as Health Secretary after cheating on his wife during the pandemic with long-term aide Gina Coladangelo, will become the 12th celebrity to hold the title Down Under.
After playing a central role in co-ordinating the government’s response to Covid, Mr Hancock’s political career has flagged in recent years and last week he was snubbed by Rishi Sunak after the new prime minister shunned his attempt to greet outside the headquarters of Tory.
He becomes the latest in a long list of political figures to try their hand at the ITV reality show, including MPs Nadine Dorries and Lembit Opik and Boris Johnson’s father Stanley.
Looking good: Boy George showed off his bold style in a colorful patterned shirt and trousers and a hat
Stunning: Olivia looked incredible after getting thousands of pounds worth of beauty treatments before hitting the jungle
Supportive: Boy George and Sue Cleaver walked hand-in-hand down the pier, ready to embark on their journey together
Bold: Owen Warner cut a monochrome figure in black shirt and trousers after saying he was ‘looking for love’ in the jungle
ITV bosses have confirmed to MailOnline that this year’s show, which returns to Australia for the first time in two years following the global pandemic on Sunday, will be the toughest ever for celebrities – with 24 tests to face across 21 shows.
Speaking from the Australian jungle, executive producer Olly Nash said: “We’re shooting more than we’ve ever done before and there will be more elements in more shows.
“In Wales we couldn’t do things that were outside because of the weather and the big storm, but this year we can be outside again.
“We have more big rigs. we have more big, slimy, dirty tests and much more competitive tests. There are 24 this year and there are 21 shows.
“On the last day the last three do a trial each. The cyclone is completely back.’
I’m A Celebrity starts on Sunday 6 November 2022 at 9pm with a 105 minute special. It will then air every weeknight and two weekend nights after launch – all at 9pm.
