Ant and Dec have revealed the names of the stars who will be participating in the upcoming I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! cleave. They made the announcement during the Saturday Night Takeaway.

The new spinoff was revealed last year in an Instagram post by the popular hosting duo. At the time, they confirmed that the new iteration, which has been pre-recorded, would welcome back the stars of the original show’s past and would be filmed in an entirely new location, the Mirror reports.

I’m A Celebrity has been running since 2002 and would normally be filmed in Australia. Along with the spin-off, there will also be a new regular edition series later this year.
