I'm A Celebrity 2021 start date 'confirmed' as line-up rumours continue

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here is just a matter of weeks away from returning to TV screens.

Fans of the ITV reality show have been eagerly awaiting news of the 2021 series as teasers begin to appear on TV and social media.

It has already been announced that hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly will return to Wales for a second year as Australia only opened its borders this week.

So, a whole new crop of famous faces will be heading to Gwrych Castle, near Abergele in Conwy.

And it's expected to hit screens on Sunday, November 21, sources have told the Mirror.

The first I'm A Celebrity teaser was released last month when the line-up was also confirmed - but just to Ant and Dec.

While fans of the ITV reality show are yet to find out who is heading into the castle this year, the hosts got a preview.

The Geordie duo shared a video on their joint Instagram account to reveal their "amazing" reactions as they were shown the line-up for the first time.

Ant and Dec were seen sat at a table as photos of the celebrity line-up for this year’s series was shown to them - but were pixilated to those watching.

The quick whip through saw their initial thoughts, for one, the pair clap their hands and laugh as Ant commented: "We love him," before Dec adds: "Very good."

The video continues with them being surprised by various photos shown to them with hints there's a big character in the mix as to Dec stares at the camera open-mouthed before pointing at the card and saying: “That's amazing!"

As they're shown the final images, Dec adds: "That’s brilliant," With Ant commenting: "We’re happy."

TV presenter Richard Madeley, EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt, Corrie star Simon Gregson and singer turned Loose Women panelist Frankie Bridge are rumoured to be in the line-up.

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Arlene Phillips was also confirmed for the upcoming series.

Last year's series, the first to be recorded in the UK, was won by author and presenter Giovanna Fletcher.

She was up against Radio 1 DJ Jordan North and Bolton TV star Vernon Kay for the title in last December's final.
