I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has proved to be a popular show on ITV, and now a first episode date has been confirmed for its South Africa edition.
It will see the return of some of the most memorable campmates from some of the previous seasons to go up against each other in a different setting.
In a statement, ITV said: "All the campmates survived the Australian jungle, but South Africa is an even harder proposition which will push them to their limits and test them like never before. The challenges are bigger and tougher and the environment harsher and more unforgiving.
"With no public vote, they will be competing against each other in a battle to become the first ever 'I'm A Celebrity Legend'."
When will I'm a Celebrity South Africa's first episode air?
The first episode of this new series will start at 9 pm on Monday, April 24 on ITV1.
