I'm A Celebrity 2024 first look, start date and what we know

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is one of the biggest shows in the reality TV calendar, and it's already shaping up to be an exciting series this year with Coleen Rooney leading the big names on the rumoured line-up.

One thing we can be sure on is there will be no politicians after Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly called for the producers to take a break from signing them to the show. In the past two years, I'm A Celeb has been criticised for the inclusion of Nigel Farage on the 2023 series and Matt Hancock in the 2022 series. Farage was arguably the most controversial signing the show has ever had.

Here is what to expect from the 2024 series of the show.

What we know about I'm a Celebrity 2024

I'm A Celebrity's spin-off show is back

After four long years without a spin-off show to catch us up on all the jungle gossip, I'm A Celebrity has finally come good this year with a new, rebooted version.

On 29 October Good Morning Britain unveiled new spin-off series I'm A Celebrity Unpacked, which will be hosted by 2016 runner-up Joel Dommett with 2023 champion Sam Thompson and radio DJ Kemi Rodgers.

Dommett said: "I feel like this is the show that started my career in a way, 2016 I came second and since then it's grown and grown, and I've kept on working, to my surprise and everyone else's. I did the extra show for three years which I loved, I feel like I learned everything there.

"It stopped for a couple of years and it feels like the right time to bring it back, it feels like there's a real thirst for it. We're mixing it up, we're changing it a lot. Obviously, we're changing the name which is great and we're going to have Ant and Dec on every day talking through lots of stuff, we're going to have the campmates coming straight to us for big interviews. We're going to really divulge everything about the show, really get into the nitty gritty of everything."

Thompson added: "Being able to be there again - being a part of the show and then being on the other side of it is like a dream come true. I'm not joking, it is the best show on TV by an absolute mile."

Is there a trailer for I'm a Celebrity 2024?

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have teased a shakeup with the Bushtucker Trials in a trailer where they pose as mad scientists in lab coats testing out the infamous trials.

Britney Spears' hit song Baby One More Time played out over the trailer, an interesting choice after her sister Jamie Lynn Spears was in the jungle last year but quit early.

ITV teased: "Which trials will make the cut? And which brave celebrities will be set to face them in the upcoming series?"

Snakes, spiders and other nasties will share the jungle with the celebrities as they camp out in Springbrook National Park, New South Wales. The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here jungle is given a makeover every year in time for the show. We can't wait to see what it looks like this year!

Start date

I'm A Celebrity is back on ITV1 and ITVX from Sunday, 17 November on ITV1 and ITVX. As always, the show will air nightly at 9pm, and usually runs for about three weeks.

Ant & Dec

Presenters Ant and Dec have hosted I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! since it first aired in 2002. The Geordie duo are well-loved for their witty remarks, who often can be found mocking the celebrity campmates.

The only year they were parted on I'm A Celeb was in 2018 when Ant had to take time off to recover from his addiction to prescription drugs. Holly Willoughby jetted across the world to co-host the show with Donnelly.

What we don't know

Who's in the I'm a Celebrity line-up?

We don't know which celebrity contestants are going Down Under this year for sure. Coleen Rooney leads the biggest celebs rumoured to have signed up to the show.

If the talk is true, Rooney will have get the biggest pay cheque so far — even more than Nigel Farage's £1.5m last year. The WAG would be an excellent signing after her very public battles with Rebekah Vardy after the Wagatha Christie drama saw Rooney name Vardy's Instagram account as the leaker of tabloid stories about her life.

Rebekah Vardy took part in the ITV reality show back in 2017.

It's reported that Tommy Fury has dropped out of I'm A Celebrity after getting a better offer, according to The Sun.

Any names leaked so far are speculative, with ITV not releasing the final line-up until closer to the time in November.
