The Jungle Club will see Ant and Dec go live on Instagram after the main show as they give their opinions, reactions, share stories and give some exclusive insider details. The duo have been hosting the social media spin-off since 2022.
The Jungle Club after then all new post episode show - I'm A Celebrity: Unpacked - on ITV2, which is hosted by Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and DJ and former Mirror journalist, Kemi Rodgers. Tonight's launch show will see the celebrity contestants divided into two teams as team one's Danny Jones, Jane Moore, Tulisa Contostavlos, Oti Mabuse, and Dean McCullough will be put through their paces before uniting with team two which consists of Coleen Rooney, Melvin Odoom, Barry McGuigan, GK Barry and Alan Halsall.
The opening episode will see team one take part in a race to become camp leaders. They are told that there is one helicopter each waiting for them and that they will be needing a parachute as they are about to go skydiving.
Explaining the task further Ant and Dec tell them that once they land they will meet the other five celebrity contestants and will need to pick one of them to form a team with. The winning team will then become the first camp leaders and get special privileges including being exempt from the first Bushtucker Trial and getting to sleep in the Leader's Lodge.
Ant and Dec beckon two waiters in the celebrities see five welcome cocktails which are a not-so-tasty recipe of blended bull’s penis and fish eye, with a vomit fruit garnish. Ant and Dec explain that the quicker they finish they drink will influence the rest of the challenge by dictating the order they jump from the helicopter's in and are subsequently able to pick their partner.
The celebrities then each take their drink as they gear up to attempt to down it and begin the race. Danny gets stuck in immediately and is the first to finish meaning he is allocated helicopter one and will get first pick of the other batch of celebrities to team up with. Late arrivals to the camp are expected to be Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles.
I'm A Celebrity kicks off tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX followed by I'm A Celebrity: Unpacked on ITV2 at 10:30pm after the main show.
