Anyone with the smallest percentage of television wherewithal will know that ITV loves Harry Potter – and it has done for years.

Every time a movie was released, it took us Behind the Magic with Ben Shephard; and every three months or so the channel airs one of the eight Potter movies (mostly on a Sunday afternoon and always with tons of ads).

But there's one place we didn't expect to see Harry Potter on our ITV screens – and that was the Australian outback.

Until now.

Tonight (November 19) marked the premiere episode of this year's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, where our ten celebrities headed to the jungle for their first ever challenge.

Rebekah Vardy, Shappi Khorsandi, Dennis Wise and Stanley Johnson headed to other locations; Vanessa White, Georgia Toffolo, Jamie Lomas, Amir Khan, Jack Maynard and Jenny McAlpine were tasked with walking wobbly planks at a great distance.

The occasion saw the celebrities clearly nervous and wobble boards added to the planks to make them extra shaky – but it appears it wasn't dramatic enough for producers.

So, they used two songs from the Deathly Hallows Part Two soundtrack – 'Statues' and 'Courtyard Apocalypse' to be exact – to hype up the drama.

And no one could really believe it...
