First look at I’m A Celebrity’s new series as Ant and Dec tease ‘luxurious twist’ to legendary campsite
THE cast of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here look in for a treat, but not all is as it seems.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have transformed into hotel workers in the new trailer for the upcoming season of the ITV show, due to hit screens next month.
Ant, 47, and Dec, 48, have put on their white uniforms and look ready to welcome the celebs to the new Jungle Retreat.
The trailer, which will air over the weekend, pans across a majestic seaside resort, promising the “full celebrity treatment” to those willing to “surrender to the ultimate experience”.
But eagle-eyed viewers might notice, it’s not all is as idyllic as it seems – with critter-crawling facilities hinting at what the camp mates will be suffering through.
The luxurious twist they’re promised is unlikely to work out how it’s promised by the VT voiceover.
The voice invites: “Come away with us, far, far away into the heart of a tropical jungle – dream beneath the stars.
“Let us pamper you beyond your wildest expectations. You deserve this.”
It comes ahead of the new series of I’m A Celeb, which normally runs from November to December on ITV1.
We exclusively revealed that jockey Frankie Dettori is saddling up to ride into the jungle.
We exclusively revealed that jockey Frankie Dettori is saddling up to ride into the jungle.
Frankie, who is retiring from racing after 35 years, is said to be in advanced talks with I’m A Celeb’s bosses.
A TV insider said: “Frankie is a superstar signing for jungle casting producers as he is a legend in the horse racing world and would be reality TV gold.
“He might be pint-sized, but his personality is larger than life and he has real charm and a sense of humour.
“Frankie would be brilliant in the Bushtucker Trials too as being competitive is second nature to him.
“He’s also got a wealth of stories he could tell around the campfire to keep other campmates entertained.
“Plus, as a jockey, he’s had to keep his weight down his whole life so he can help coach the other starving contestants surviving on rice and beans.”
Other names in the frame for the new series include This Morning host Josie Gibson and former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold.
ITV said: “Any names suggested for I’m a Celebrity are speculation.”
The new I’m A Celeb trailer will air on ITV1 this weekend.
