I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here hosts Ant and Dec have teased that there is going to be something different about this year's series - revealing that they will be dropping the Saturday highlights show, and: "It'll be a full series."

As the pair accepted the show's award at the National Television Awards yesterday (9th September), they discussed how fans weren't too pleased last year when the Saturday show was replaced with highlights, laughing: "Went from heroes to zeros in 60 seconds!"

Dec explained: "On launch day our socials blew up saying, 'Oh my god, you've saved 2020, I'm a Celeb is back and it's amazing!'

"Then on the Saturday, because of COVID protocols, we took a break for our highlights show. Oh, you should have seen our socials then!"

The presenter then confirmed: "No highlights this year", and: "It'll be a full series."

I'm A Celeb will be returning to Gwrych Castle in Wales this year for a second time, with the series having to relocate from Australia in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Despite some fans thinking that the trials were a bit 'too easy' last year, it was certainly a series to remember, with huge names such as Mo Farah, AJ Pritchard, Vernon Kay, Jordan North and Giovanna Fletcher competing for the crown.

Ant and Dec seemed to have a successful evening at the NTAs on 9th September, making history with their 20th win for Best Presenter. The pair took to their Instagram to thank their fans for their ongoing love and support.

Although no start date has been confirmed for the 2021 series on I'm A Celeb, we expect to see it hit our screens in November.

Check out the rumoured line-up for the I'm A Celeb 2021:

Su-Elise Nash

Mis-Teeq singer Su-Elise Nash is reportedly set to follow in the footsteps of her band mate Sabrina Washington, who appeared in 2009. A source said: "Su was incredibly supportive of ­Sabrina's jungle experience and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered. The reunion has reminded everyone just how much love there still is for Mis-Teeq."

Jeremy Clarkson

Thanks to the success of Clarkson's Farm, rumours were rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I'm A Celeb reportedly top of the list!

Jools Oliver

When hosts Ant and Dec invited TV chef Jamie Oliver to appear on the show, he quickly declined, saying: "Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I'm A Celeb. "I think it's an amazing show, but honestly, you couldn't give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo's a--e, no way."


However, he did nominate his wife Jools, adding: "But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools."

Nick Ferrari

Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on the line-up in 2025, but he didn't appear. Maybe they'll go back with a new offer in 2026.

Olivia Attwood

As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.


Although she's in demand right now and very busy with radio and TV jobs, we have to admit we'd love to see Liv back in the jungle at some point!

Danny Dyer

Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.


Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.

Denise van Outen

The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years. Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so could she appear in 2026?
