Celebrity casting executive Micky Van Praagh is the person behind the line-up, admitting that while she acknowledges the show did well last year, she is hoping for something “completely different” for 2019.

Speaking at the BAFTA Masterclass for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, she said: “I think we know what works. I think of our show as a comedy and so I’m looking for people who are funny and high energy as we know those types of things always work.

“But otherwise you want to do something completely different every year. You’re never looking for the next Harry Redknapp or the next John Barrowman or the next Fleur East. You’ve got to do something different."

Are there any changes to the Bushtucker trials this year?

Yes: this year the celebs won't be asked to eat any live insects during trials.

As an ITV source told RadioTimes.com: “No live critters will be eaten in the Bushtucker Trials this year. Producers have taken a look at the Trials and decided that no live critters would be eaten in the Trials this year.

“They have been planning this for some time and actually last year beach worms were the only critters eaten live but this time around they’ve decided to implement the change fully and permanently.”
