The series will air for three weeks on weekdays, with the final week clashing with the Eurovision semi-finals on Tuesday May 9 and Thursday 11. 

Featuring iconic stars Shaun Ryder, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman, Paul Burrell, Amir Khan, Janice Dickinson and Fatima Whitbread. 

And Helen Flanagan was seen suspended hundreds of feet in the air as she took  part in one of the show’s first bushtucker trials.

In scenes set to air on the upcoming series, the actress, 32, is forced to jump between huge inflatable balls above the South African outback. 

She is seen wearing a helmet and clipped into a safety harness as she faces her fears in the ultimate test. 

Helen then bounces across the make shift bridge to collect stars for camp alongside fellow contestants Phil Tufnell and Fatima Whitbread. 

Speaking about the challenge, a source told The Sun: ‘Helen has made no secret of the fact she is not good with heights and her fellow campmates had to really persuade her to give it a go.’

Helen is not the only star set to take on a scary trial as Carol Vorderman was seen facing a bungy jump in the show’s trailer.

In clip, the presenter, 62, is seen clad in safety gear and standing on the edge of a plank and she prepares to jump. 

Before entering the jungle for the second time, Carol admitted that her worst challenge was ‘walking the plank’ during her stint in 2016, so it could prove very challenging. 

Myleene Klass is rumoured to also be appearing in the show, which was filmed last year, as one of the late arrivals. 

It comes after Helen admitted that she’d ‘rather give birth’ than to relive one of the bushtucker trials from her recent I’m A Celebrity stint.

The former Coronation Street star, who originally entered the Australian jungle in 2012, admitted it’s ‘hell in there’ and ‘really hard’ on Friday’s Loose Women.

Detailing her jungle experience, she told the panel: ‘You have to be a certain kind of person, it is hell in there, it’s horrendous.’

Opening up about the trials and the conditions of the camp, she went on: ‘The trials are very, very difficult. You feel dirty, you can’t have a shower.

‘I feel as well that sometimes it’s intense being filmed 24/7.

‘I did one trial and I did think, “I’d rather give birth right now!” I’m naturally a wimp, I’m scared of heights, spiders, snakes.’

The actress’ time in the jungle meant that she was away from her three children whom she shares with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, but credits him and their mothers for taking care of the kids. 

I’m A Celebrity starts on Monday on ITV at 9pm.
