It’s less than a week until I’m A Celeb returns for another action packed series.
And hosts Ant and Dec couldn’t contain their excitement as they fell to the floor after casting their eyes on the jungle for the first time this year.
The duo, who have hosted the series since its inception back in 2002, were overcome with shock in a dramatic Instagram video as they walked across the balcony and looked out into the trees.
As Dec fell to the floor, the pair burst into hysterics as they captioned the clip: ‘Us? Dramatic!? Never’ as the track What Dreams Are Made Of played in the background.
Fans went wild in the comments as they shared the excitement for the new series.

The pair almost burst into tears after seeing the jungle for the first time this year
Fans went wild in the comments as they shared the excitement for the new series
The I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! lineup has been officially unveiled by ITV (L-R Tulisa, Coleen Rooney, Barry McGuigan, Danny Jones, Melvin Odoom, Oti Mabuse, Alan Halsall, Jane Moore, GK Barry and Dean Mcullough)
Leading the pack is Coleen Rooney , who has ditched her WAG glamour for the famous jungle get-up as this year’s highest-paid signing
However, there are two names noticeably absent from the confirmed lineup, hinting that they are going to be late additions to the camp.
Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles are also set to take part in the show, and are expected to be heading into the camp later in the series.
Instead of the fan-favourite Walk The Plank challenge which has been axed, selected contestants are rumoured to this year be taking part in ‘an equally terrifying’ starting challenge at Diamond Head.
The sprawling estate in Coomera, Queensland, which has been rented by the likes of Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, will reportedly play host to a handful of celebrities as they complete their first challenge before the Jungle next Sunday.
The 45 acre plot of land boasts a landing strip for private jets, a helicopter operations centre, a go-kart track, a marina for boats, a main residence and guest house.
Known as Diamond Head, the impressive residence was previously owned by the Australian motorcycling champion, Mick Doohan, who bought it for £886,000 in 1996.
The location has been praised for its level of privacy and rarity for its vast size in such a high demand area of Australia’s Gold Coast.
