| Updated:

The start date for I’m A Celebrity has finally been confirmed and fans don’t have long to wait at all.

The brand new series will be returning to ITV next month with a fresh batch of stars heading into the Australian jungle.

For the first time in over two years, the programme will be back in its home of Australia rather than Wales.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, I’m A Celeb has had to be filmed in Wales for the past two years.

I’m A Celebrity start date confirmed

But when is I’m A Celebrity starting? ITV has confirmed today that the show will begin on Sunday, November 6 at 9pm.

Fans are already over the moon as one replied to the news: “Woohoo!!! This sounds exciting.”

Another said: “OMG!! IT’S HAPPENING!”

A third gushed: “Ohhh earlier broadcast this year? Not that I’m complaining…”

Who is doing I’m A Celeb?

The 2022 line-up hasn’t yet been confirmed, however, a few names have been thrown into the mix.

These include Coronation Street‘s Sue Cleaver, radio DJ Chris Moyles, reality star Olivia Attwood and Hollyoaks star Owen Warner.

Ohhh earlier broadcast this year? Not that I’m complaining…

Is Mike Tindall doing I’m A Celeb this year?

In addition, reports claim Mike Tindall, whose wife is Priness Anne‘s daughter Zara Tindall, may be heading into the jungle.

A source claimed to The Sun: “It’s a massive coup. Mike has had a box seat for some of the most important moments in royal history for generations.

“He is sure to be discreet, but his sheer presence means this series will be an absolute must-watch.”

We’ll have to wait and see who’s actually going into the Aussie jungle!

ITV recently released a first trailer for the new series with hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly featuring.
