I’M A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! bosses will invite back legendary campmates for a pre-recorded version of the show filmed in South Africa later this year.

Those likely to be asked back include Jungle Kings and Queens including Gino D’Acampo, Shaun Ryder and Vicky Pattison.

It will be filmed in Kruger National Park where, ironically, the Aussie version of the show is shot.

Producers will still shoot a normal series - featuring brand new stars - in Murwillumbah, New South Wales later this year.

The Best Of version will then likely air in early 2023, giving viewers THREE series in less than two years as the show switches back from Gwrych Castle, north Wales, to Down Under.

“It will see all of the iconic names who have made the show so popular over the years return to the campfire and battle it out to be crowned the Best Of champion.

“There are so many to choose from and they’re sounding out the most talked-about ones now.

“Ant and Dec will host all three series as normal, and the South African version will still be based in the world of I’m A Celeb.
