I'm a Celebrity confirms 2021 series start date

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is weeks away from returning to our screens, with the ITV series confirming its start date for 2021.

As the latest group of unsuspecting celebrities prepare themselves for the cold and damp delights of Gwrych Castle – and hosts Ant and Dec prepare the pig testicles – the series is preparing for a November start date.

True to form, I'm a Celebrity will kick things off on a Sunday: Sunday, November 21, to be precise, according to The Sun.

That gives us just shy of three weeks to get our final predictions in for this year's line-up – although there are a couple of celebrities who have already addressed the rumours.

Potential new camp-mates include Married at First Sight Australia star Jessika Power and Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley, who have both responded to chatter they're set for a visit to Wales in the coming weeks.

Jessika, who appeared in the sixth series of Australia's Married at First Sight, recently told followers on Instagram that she has "some TV contracts in the works, in talks at the moment."

Responding to a fan's question about I'm a Celebrity, she added: "I can't tell you which one, it may be this one, it may not be this one. It may be something else. You just don't know where you'll see me, but I will be popping up somewhere."

GMB's answer to Alan Partridge, Richard Madeley, has spoken a little more freely about his potential involvement, telling his co-stars: "You may say, 'I couldn't possibly comment'.

"It's ridiculous! When a secret's out, it's out! And it is true that I've been learning a bit of Welsh."

I'm a Celebrity will return on Sunday, November 21 on ITV.
