How long will the 2018 series last?

It hasn't officially been revealed how long the series will last but we can make an educated guess based on previous seasons.

Last year's series lasted for 23 episodes, from mid-November to mid-December.

Similarly, in 2016, the show aired over 22 episodes.

So, this year should have twenty-something episodes and, if it follows the previous format and length, fans can expect this year's jungle king or queen to be crowned around the second week of December.

Who will be in the line-up according to the rumours?

There are many rumours going around regarding who will be taking on the crazy challenges and try to survive in the jungle.

One of these was that Coleen Nolan would be joining the cast, however, she recently took Twitter to deny the rumours and says she would be "watching it from the safety of her sofa".

Fans are also expecting a few Love Island celebs to turn up, especially Georgia Steel and Alexandra Cane.

Both Katie Price and her ex Kieran Hayler were rumoured to be joining at some point, but it doesn't seem like either one of them will be able to as they are busy with their personal lives.

Meanwhile, Bake Off alumnus Sue Perkins revealed that she would never go on the show because she loves animals too much.
