And now the popular show has been commissioned for a second run with another batch of famous jungle stars.

The contestants will be flown to South Africa, where they filmed the last series.

ITV will soon begin their hunt to recruit celebrity participants.

"It did well last time and while they can’t do it annually, they wanted to do another," a source told the Mail.

The Sun reached out to ITV for comment.

The first spin-off was pre-recorded and filmed in November 2022 in Kruger National Park, South Africa

It aired in 2023 with the likes of Helen Flanagan, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman - with series six star Myleene Klass taking home the crown.

The show was different from the original version because it wasn't live and viewers couldn't vote. 

Campmates instead battled it out for the title of ‘Legend'.

Also, instead of heading Down Under the show was filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa where, ironically, the Aussie version of the show is shot.

Viewers watched Shaun Ryder, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman, Paul Burrell, Amir Khan, Janice Dickinson and Fatima Whitbread go head-to-head.

The contestants were pushed to their limits like never before.

Viewers saw her in a brutal eating trial face-off with Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo for the win.

She was forced to down 60 mouse tails and 40 spoons of revolting fermented tofu.

She admitted: “It was the gnarliest, grisliest challenge I have ever, ever put myself through. It was grim. It kept repeating on me.”

The mum of two added: “You’re so far from home, I missed my children so much.
