The first Bushtucker Trial of the new series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! has been revealed, with hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly spotted arriving by helicopter as filming gets under way.
The 26th series is set to feature a cast including ex-footballer Wayne Rooney, soap star Claire Sweeney, Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson and a host of others, all taking on the infamous trials in the run-up to Christmas.
Ant and Dec arrive for filming
Ant and Dec, who have fronted the show since it began in 2002, were photographed arriving at an airfield to film the opening scenes of this year's series. Images show Ant in a jazzy shirt puffing on a vape off camera.
Photos from the set reveal contestants completing a trial in a moving truck before climbing on top and releasing a flare, with Ant and Dec on hand to guide them through the challenge.
Adapted camp for Ade Adepitan
Presenter and Paralympian Ade Adepitan is also joining the camp this year. Producers previously spent time with him to adapt the facilities for his wheelchair, resulting in a specially modified camp with widened paths, strengthened handrails, wheelchair parking spaces, crutch holders and a stairlift for the jungle shower.
Executives have confirmed Ade will be able to take on the majority of this year's approximately 23 Bushtucker Trials, including the Celebrity Cyclone.
What to expect this year
A show insider said: "The show can be very tough at times especially when the weather turns and hunger kicks in but this year's jungle intake are much more hardy than usual and should be able to take being in the wilderness in their stride."
They added: "The casting team couldn't believe it when the extent of the contestants' experience became clear - it should, in theory, be a walk in the park for some of them but we will have to wait and see."
