A spinoff of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! featuring former contestants will reportedly be filmed this summer in South Africa.

An "all-stars" edition of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! will reportedly be filmed in South Africa this summer.

The surprise spinoff show will feature the most memorable and popular former contestants from the last 20 years of I'm A Celebrity and will be pre-recorded for broadcast next year.

Regular hosts Ant and Dec have signed up to present the spinoff, which will be shot over two weeks at the Kruger National Park in South Africa in July.

The show is in addition to the regular version of I'm A Celebrity, which will air live from either Australia or Wales in October and November.

According to The Sun, Stacey Solomon, Caitlyn Jenner, Gino D'Acampo and Vicky Pattison are among the early names being linked with appearing in the all-stars lineup.

"Fans have been crying out for a Best Of series for years, and their prayers are being answered," a source told the newsxpaper.

"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.

"Ant and Dec will host [both] series as normal, and the South African version will still be based in the world of I'm A Celeb.

"The campmates will be doing trials and living in the camp environment, but with fresh and exciting new twists on the format.

"The campmates will have a hand in their own destiny through a series of internal votes and challenges."

This year's regular series will begin around three weeks earlier than usual in order to avoid any scheduling clashes with the World Cup.
