Rosemary Newell said: "We expect I'm A Celebrity to return in Australia in November, when it will generate audience over 11 million."

Presenter Ant McPartlin also revealed they expect the show to return to the jungle during an appearance on the One Show earlier this year.

Ant said: "We love Wales, but Australia is its home and we’d like to get back there if we can."

Co-host Declan Donnelly explained during an appearance in Lorraine he also hopes to see the show return to the jungle.

He said: "It wasn’t quite the same, but we had a great time in North Wales. They made us feel so welcome. I’m A Celebrity’s spiritual home is Australia.

"We can torment them a bit more in Australia as well."
