I'm A Celebrity 2024 LIVE - This year's cast and start time revealed
I'M A CELEBRITY has returned to our screens tonight with a host of new famous faces being given their first trial.
Ant and Dec welcomed the stars brave enough to tackle stomach-churning bushtucker trials and terrifying challenges at a luxury hotel - before hitting them where it hurts.
Straight up, Tulisa, Oti Mabuse, Jane Moore, Danny Jones and Dean McCullough were slapped with a vomit-induing drink task.
And if that wasn't bad enough, they were asked to jump straight in a helicopter and skydive out of it moments later.
Probably the biggest name in this year's line-up is WAG Coleen Rooney, wife of former Manchester United player, Wayne Rooney.
Within seconds of meeting Coleen, Radio 1's Dean McCullough called her 'Wagaha Christie'.
Other famous ladies swapping their glam celebrity lifestyles for jungle attire are YouTuber GK Barry and her Loose Women co-star Jane Moore.
However, there was an awkward moment when GK - real name Grace Keeling - came face-to-face with boxing champ Barry McGuigan.
She didn't have a clue who he was...and he didn't know who she was either.
Meanwhile other top names taking part this year include McFly's Danny Jones and radio DJ Melvin Odoom.
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! launches tonight at 9pm on ITV1 & ITVX.
Read our I'm A Celebrity live blog below for the latest news and updates...
Danny made a huge schoolboy error within minutes of his I'm A Celebrity journey starting.
The McFly star revealed he has a fear of snakes after previously being bitten by one.
And here we are; Danny is now trapped in a tomb with snakes slithering all over him. And they're not exactly small either.
*SHAKES HEAD*
Danny seems totally on board for this Bushtucker Trial.
Barry...not so much!
The Mausoleum Of Misery is giving I'm A Celeb lockdown vibes.
Did they fly a bit of the Welsh castle set over for this?!
Tulisa has arrived in camp with PERFECT make-up.
Grace cried all her mascara off while rummaging around in a box of critters, but Tulisa's is completely intact.
It must have been applied with a Sharpie. How is she looking so good?!
Grace, doing it for women everywhere.
"We need a man," she declared, when talk of lighting the campfire arose.
Come on, Oti. Show her how it's done!
Ahh, the camp. It's such a familiar scene!
It's so nice to have it back on our screens, red telephone box and all.
It really wasn't the same they took the show to that Welsh castle!
Tulisa and Alan are the heads of the camp.
They get luxury living accommodation (kind of) and get to call all the shots.
They are now on their way to break it to Barry and Danny that they'll be taking on the first Bushtucker Trial of the series. Lucky them!
Jane is being incredibly patient with her Loose Women colleague.
I'm surprised Grace hasn't actually lost her voice given all that screaming.
And poor Coleen and Dean. They've actually sunk!
Dirty tactics from Barry and Danny...but all is fair in jungle warfare!
It's fair to say that Grace - aka GK Barry - is NOT a fan of creepy crawlies.
She's actually screamed all of her mascara off!
Coleen, meanwhile, is hard as nails. She has four sons to be fair and has probably found the odd mini beast in their school trouser pockets.
We have to admire Dean's ability to mention Wagatha Christie within seconds of meeting Coleen Rooney.
Fresh from a near spew and a sky-dive onto the beach, he grabbed Coleen and squealed: "Melvin, I’m so so sorry! Wagatha Christie you’re coming with me!”
I think I'm going to like this fella.
So far, the newest group of celebs have had it EASY.
Surely there has to be something evil in store for them too?
Poor Melvin and Oti haven't got a car. No car AND leather loafers in the jungle.
It was never going to finish well for those two.
You may or may not have noticed that Jane was blown completely off course during her skydive.
In fact, Jane ended up 400 yards in the wrong direction.
Just a bit of a trek back to meet her new campmates! The signs aren't good for her becoming camp leader...
Danny Jones couldn't have looked more up for his skydive!
While Dean was trying not to vom in the helicopter behind, Danny was grinning from ear-to-ear and yelling "Yeahhhhh!"
He was having the time of his life, McFlying up there!!
The skydiving celebs have to pick a partner on the ground to continue on their way with.
Fans are already convinced they've worked out one of the pairings.
The Loose Ladies!
One viewer wrote on X: "Jane is obv gonna pick GK Barry, they work together!"
If the other group's first task is anything to go by, these celebs are in for a rude awakening.
Can there be anything worse than vomit fruit smoothies followed by a skydive, though?
I think it's fair to say Melvin is going to have to ditch the footwear. Those loafers aren't going to get him very far and time is of the essence!
This bunch of celebs clearly weren't expecting to be dropped off on the beach.
How do I know this? Just look at their footwear....
GK Barry isn't certain what she's bringing to the camp.
Barry McGuigan doesn't have a clue who she is, she doesn't have a clue who he is.
They seem to be getting on okay despite this...
Fans are thinking this is all a serious recipe for disaster.
Vomit fruit and animal innards in a smoothie, before skydiving out of a helicopter.
We all know where this is going. And it's not going to be pretty!
Wowzers. One of the worst challenges straight up!
There is going to be a lot of spewing early doors, surely?
And to then get in a helicopter and jump out. This. Is. Brutal.
Danny Jones has revealed he isn't a fan of snakes. He was bitten by one once, apparently.
Has he WATCHED this show before?
Surely, you never ever admit to your fears. As you know what's a-coming!
We've already got our first brave campmates; Oti, Tulisa, Dean and Jane.
We know the Walk The Plank challenge has been scrapped this year, so what other stunt will be they be forced to endure?
It's bound to be a good one, that's for sure.
Just three minutes in and Ant and Dec have already made a sly dig at Coleen Rooney.
"It'll be nice for her to do a trial that doesn't involve Rebekah Vardy," Dec quipped. Oosh!
Don't forget - you'll be able to catch up on ALL of Rebekah's thoughts right here, as she's our official I'm A Celeb columnist!
According to all of her Loose Women pals, The Sun's Jane Moore is utterly fearless.
She's looking a little concerned in that helicopter mind...
Come on, Jane. You've got this!
Here we go - I'm A Celebrity 2024 is official HERE!
Three weeks of high entertainment, gruesome trials and celebs suffering. Fantastic!
We're just 15 minutes away from the start of this season's I'm A Celebrity.
Let's hope this year's a belter!
