Despite a change of schedule - the show is expected to otherwise remain the same as a star studded cast including the likes of Friends legend David Schwimmer, Olympian Tom Daley, Gemma Collins and more compete in the infamous tent.

The lineup, announced in February also includes The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades, ex-Little Mix member Jesy Nelson, The Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas, Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan, and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness.

The show is set to run for five episodes and will see four contestants compete in each one. Last year, the winners were dominated by musicians with Emma Willis, Gareth Malone, Example, Ben Miller and Ellie Goulding coming out victorious.
