In this, we’ll get to see famous faces who have already appeared on the programme since its conception in 2002. While the traditional series is set in the Australian jungle, save for a couple of lockdown-induced trips to Wales, the All Stars special has been filmed in South Africa.

After months of speculation as to who exactly will be taking part, Ant and Dec confirmed nine contestants that will appear on the special during an episode of Saturday Night Takeawayon March 25. Promising “many more” celebs to be revealed during the series, viewers will have to wait and see exactly who else will enter the jungle. In the meantime, let’s take a look at who will be taking part.
