I’m A Celebrity is returning to our screens in a new format with celebrities returning to the show having already completed a stint in the jungle in previous years.
However, this year, the returning celebrities will take on jungle life in South Africa.
Viewers will once again be treated to watching soap stars, sporting heroes and other famous faces putting themselves through stomach-churning Bushtucker trials - all for our entertainment.
The show won’t feature a public vote this time around but the celebrities will compete against each other to be crowned the legend.
Here's everything you need to know about the new series and how you can tune in to the action.

These are the celebrities confirmed to be taking part in the show from the beginning although ITV has said there will be “many more” joining the show part-way through.
Last year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! saw the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock MP make headlines after he was announced as a campmate on the survival show.
The Tory politician, who was forced to resign from cabinet after an affair with a work colleague was exposed, lost the Conservative Party whip as a result.
Comedian Seann Walsh was also a late arrival to the jungle.
