Co-presenter Ant McPartlin has teased the "incredible cast" set to enter the I'm A Celeb jungles for the 2023 series of the ITV show.
Seen arriving in Australia after a long flight from the UK, Ant told reporters waiting at the airport: "I can't wait for the show to begin, it's an incredible cast. It'll be nice to be reunited with Dec and it'll be nice to see him."
This comes as the new series of the reality programme gets underway on Sunday, November 19 at 9 pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
Very little is known about this year's line-up with controversial personalities like former UKIP leader Nigel Farage tipped to take on the Bushtucker Trials this year.

Ant excited to be reunited with Dec ahead of I'm A Celeb return
Speaking of his old friend Dec, Ant told the Mirror: "It will be nice to be reunited with him, he’s had a family holiday.”
Smiling, the ITV star added: “It will be nice to see his tan lines. We will run towards each on the beach in open arms.”
Ant continued to praise this year's I'm A Celebrity line-up, saying: "I thought last year's series was great and with this year's series, the cast is shaping up to be really strong. Very strong."
Not quite live from the jungle yet 🤣 But they will be very soon!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
