The trials will still be a huge feature and the celebrities will live in a camp, but Yahoo understands that there will also be some fresh, exciting twists on the usual format - including campmates having a hand in their own destiny as they take part in internal votes and challenges.

However, fans of the show will be pleased to know that they won't have to wait until 2023 for more I'm A Celebrity as the main show is due back for its usual start date in November, and this time it will make a long-awaited return to Australia.

Ant and Dec hosted the last two series from Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales, which were won by Giovanna Fletcher and Danny Miller.

Last year's series was a far cry from the usual sunny setting of Oz, as for the first time ever I'm A Celeb was forced off air by the weather.

Storm Arwen ripped through camp with 90-mile-an-hour winds, leading to the celebrities having to abandon camp and the show's live broadcasts being cancelled until the set was made safe again.

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! is due to begin series 22 in November on ITV.
