An all-star version of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! featuring the most celebrated campmates of past series has reportedly been confirmed by ITV.
Kings and queens of the jungle from previous seasons will be among those invited back onto the show which will be pre-recorded and filmed in South Africa.
Celebrities thought to be near the top of ITV's wanted list include Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, ex-Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison and TV chef Gino D'Acampo.
Regular presenting duo Ant and Dec will host the show, which will be filmed at Kruger National Park – where Australia's version of the programme is recorded.
The Best Of series will not replace the regular version of the show, which will take place as normal later this year and returns to Australia after Covid restrictions caused the last two seasons to be filmed at Gwrych Castle in north Wales.
While the all-star version is slated to be pre-recorded this year as well, it is likely to be broadcast at the start of 2023, meaning fans will be treated to three series in just two years after the normal 2023 season goes to air.

A TV source told The Sun: “Fans have been crying out for a Best Of series for years, and their prayers are being answered.
“The normal show will be filmed in Australia as planned, unless COVID makes it impossible again. The South African project is in no way a back-up, it’s a completely different series.
“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."
The source says the Best Of version will have a similar feel to normal series but also include new twists to the format such as the campmates taking part in various internal votes and challenges that will affect their fate on the show.
