Yahoo News I’m a Celebrity 2019 launch – as it happened: Caitlyn Jenner, Nadine Coyle, Ian Wright and co enter the jungle
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has returned for a brand new series on ITV, hosted by presenting duo Ant and Dec.
This year's clutch of celebrities includes Caitlyn Jenner, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway, Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle and retired footballer Ian Wright.
The show's new cast additionally includes retired rugby player James Haskell, ex-EastEnders actor Jacqueline Jossa, who played Lauren Branning until 2018, and comedian Andrew Maxwell, best known for providing voiceover for the MTV reality show Ex on the Beach.
DJs Adele Roberts (Radio 1), Roman Kemp (Capital FM), and Myles Stephenson, who won The X Factor in 2017 with his band Rak-Su, have also joined the show.
The launch saw the contestants face a number of challenges just to get to the campsites, from skydiving (Coyle and Jenner) to balancing precariously from the top of a building (Garraway, Wright, Maxwell, Jossa, Kemp and Stephenson).
Contestants have been split into two teams, with each at a different campsite.
Jenner has already emerged as a clear favourite, with fans on social media praising her for her level-headed and apparently fearless approach to each task.
