The start-studded series – which also featured pop royalty Boy George and actual royalty Mike Tindall – came to an end on November 27, with England footballer Jill Scott being crowned Queen of the Jungle.
As the celebs return home, fans are already keen to know when they can next head back to the jungle to see more famous faces take on the dreaded Bushtucker Trials.
Well, they may not have to wait too long, as an All Stars special has reportedly already been filmed.
But when can we expect to see it on TV, and who is reportedly taking part?

Coronation Street actor Andrew Whyment, 41, would be returning to the show only three years after his last appearance, as he took part in the 2019 series.

She came eighth in that series, lasting 18 days in the Australian jungle with Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt going on to win.

‘I did not pretend to faint,’ she said. ‘I have a medical condition. I can’t believe you’re mocking it! That’s terrible – since five years old!’
Helen Flanagan
There should be plenty of soap among the All Stars as former Corrie actress Helen Flanagan is also rumoured to be making a return.

She has spoken about how difficult she found the show, saying ‘Just the thought even when Ant and Dec come on and say ‘we’ve got this challenge’ just gives me the fear.
‘I remember when they used to try to explain things to me about the trials, I’d panic because I would be so scared.
‘I wouldn’t even process what they were telling me because I would be so worked up.’
Hopefully she’ll have a much smoother time of it this trip.

‘I think the show itself is just incredible. I know people think of it in different ways but for me, I think it’s in the face of adversity, it’s the way people get to know what they’re made of, test their mettle, and just face their fear.’
Paul Burrell
While Mike Tindall may have been the first royal to join I’m A Celeb, he certainly was not the first with a royal connection.
Paul Burrell holds that honour, as he is the former servant of the British Royal Household and was once butler to Princess Diana.
