I’m a Celebrity confirms competitive new launch challenge with hidden twist

As a seasoned observer of reality TV, having witnessed countless contestants navigate their way through various challenges and tribulations, I must say I’m rather intrigued by this year’s lineup for Ant & Dec’s extreme reality series. The twist of an epic race to camp and the leaders’ privileges certainly adds a new layer of strategy and competition.


This week saw the reveal of the 2024 participants for Ant & Dec’s upcoming edition of their extreme reality series. On the list are McFly member Danny Jones, N-Dubz’s Tulisa Contostavlos, and Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall, all vying for a spot in the show.

Instead of the regular start, the competitors kick off their jungle adventure with a thrilling competition to reach camp first. During this contest, they’ll partner up and face a sequence of tasks. Overcoming these challenges successfully could offer them a significant edge against other participants.

The victorious duo will assume leadership roles at the camp, which comes with perks designed to facilitate their adaptation to jungle living. These benefits include being excused from chores and having the luxury of staying in the Leader’s Quarters for sleep.

The lodge provides an escape from the more extreme elements of the I’m a Celebrity experience, providing comfortable mattresses, bedding and shelter from the rain.

The prospect of a new twist offering enhanced powers and benefits for the leaders of the I’m a Celebrity contest should be enough to spark competition among them. However, ITV hints at an extra surprise that could provide even more authority and privileges to the camp leaders than ever before.

It seems this situation might lead to some tension between the new camp members, so I hope the one who takes on leadership positions uses their newly gained authority wisely.

Previous winner of Strictly Come Dancing, Oti Mabuse, who clinched the title for two consecutive years on BBC, is one of the celebrities embarking on a jungle adventure this year.

Mabuse expressed to the media: “I’ve been a devoted fan of ‘I’m a Celebrity’ for such a long time. Apart from Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice, it’s the show I never miss. Last year, as I was watching, I thought to myself, ‘This feels perfect for me. I am absolutely ready, I am up for the task.’

Simultaneously, Colleen Rooney has gained attention by agreeing to appear on a reality show, which comes after the Wagatha Christie incident led to a TV drama, a documentary, and extensive discussions on social media.

Rooney stated: “After much time and patience, I’m now making it happen. As I’ve mentioned before, if I were to participate in any project, it would be this specific one. I believe it will prove beneficial for me.
