The new spin-off series of I'm A Celebrity airs on ITV tonight (April 24) with a brand new format and a new location. Some of the show's most memorable campmates from over the years will be returning to battle it out to become the first ever I'm A Celeb 'legend'.

The new South African series will see Carol compete against fellow returning campmates Amir Khan, Helen Flanagan, Fatima Whitbread, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell, Janice Dickinson and Shaun Ryder - with more names yet to be announced.
