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:
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now and it's understood he was due to appear in 2023, before picking up a nasty ACL injury which resulted in him needing major surgery. It's now being reported that bosses are keen to sign Alan for the 2024 show.
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.
However, after Olivia didn't appear in the 2023 series, could she feature on the 2024 line-up?
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his presenting role on This Morning in 2023, rumours were rife that Phillip Schofield could take part in the 2023 series. As fans will know, Phillip wasn't on the line-up, but with reports suggesting he's about to make a comeback to TV, could I'm A Celeb be the platform he needs to re-launch his career?
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford has recently expressed interest in appearing on I'm A Celeb. He told the Mirror: "Out of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle."
Alex recently appeared on BBC One's Celebrity Race Across The World.
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 will 2024 be her year?
Sam Aston
Coronation Street legend Sam Aston hinted he'd love to take part in the show in 2021.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, he said: "I've always said no to all of those shows, but then recently for some reason I've been more open to the idea. Jennie McAlpine and Andy Whyment did the jungle and both of them said it's the experience of a lifetime.
"If I was offered it I would be open to the idea and open to the extra pennies!"
The Vivienne
RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne recently admitted she would love to appear on I'm A Celeb during a chat with Lorraine.
She said: "Do you know what, I've never thought about it but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be."
Phil Taylor
Ever since he admitted he'd 'love' to appear on the show a number of years ago, darts legend Phil Taylor has been heavily rumoured every year. As he's not yet entered the jungle, could 2024 be his year?
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, it seems actor Will Mellor has the reality TV bug, as he's admitted to his friend and former co-star Ralf Little he'd fancy appearing on I'm A Celeb. Could 2024 be his year?
Richard Arnold
Good Morning Britain's entertainment presenter Richard Arnold is usually the one travelling over to Australia to report on the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be taking part this year!
