Ant McPartlin is returning to screens with Dec Donnelly to host this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

McPartlin spent a period in rehab due to an addiction to painkillers. The TV star also said that he nearly died as he had difficulties with depression, alcohol and substance abuse.

Former professional footballer Dennis Wise and Comedian Shappi Korshandi will take on a sky dive into a lake in their first taste of the I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here experience before lighting a flare.

Boris Johnson's father, Stanley Johnson, and the wife of England footballer Jamie Vardy, Rebekah Vardy, are forced to investigate a shipwrecked boat filled with a mixture of creatures.

The pair attempt to retrieve coloured tokens from holes in the wreck - but are confronted by crabs, toads, yabbies, rat, spiders, cockroaches and scorpions.

Youtuber Jack Maynard, actor Jamie Lomas, and TV star Georgia Toffolo are made to walk the plank.

In the line up is:

From the house they will make their way to the jungle investigating a shipwreck, walking the plank and skydiving which sounds ok, until you see encounters with rats, cockroaches and scorpions. 

Ant and Dec are already in position to commence the gruesome tasks.
