I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here has teased what the new crop of celebrities will face as they prepare to enter the jungle. The hit ITV reality show returns for its 2024 series in a matter of days on Sunday (November 17).

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have already jetted Down Under with the show's crew and one by one this year's campmates have touched down at Brisbane Airport ready to swap their luxuries for camp life in the Australian outback.

WAG and TV personality Coleen Rooney, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, TikTok and Loose Women star GK Barry, N-Dubz singer Tulisa, McFly's Danny Jones and Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse are among the ten stars set to face what I'm A Celeb throws at them this year

And it's now been revealed that the new campmates will need to bring their A-game from the get-go as they prepare for an epic race to kickstart their jungle journey.

I'm A Celeb fans will be aware that the celebrities don't ever have an easy journey into camp with some seen walking a plank from the top of a bulding while others skydive.

But promising to be the most competitive launch ever, this year the campmates will be instructed to pair up and partake in a number of challenges, competing against their fellow campmates in a bid to cross the finish line first. It's all to play for, as throughout the challenges there will be plenty of opportunities to overtake and fight to the finish.

The winning pair will be awarded the coveted title of the first leaders of camp, they'll be exempt from any chores, will get to sleep in the Leaders' lodge, and run the camp exactly the way they'd like.

The luxurious Leaders' Lodge boasts two wonderfully comfy beds with mattresses, shelter from the rain, as well as plush duvets and pillows guaranteed to keep them warm and snug during their jungle stay.

The notorious camp leader chair has also transformed this year, with two red leatherbound seats for the two equal leaders of camp, working closely together at all times to rule and maintain a harmonious camp.

And that's not all, as always in the jungle, the campmates should expect the unexpected as there's a hidden twist guaranteed to shake things up which will unlock more power and additional perks than ever before for the camp leaders.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! starts this Sunday 17th November, on ITV1 and ITVX
