The group will leave behind their comfortable homes and luxury lifestyles and head into the wilds of the Inner Hebrides in Scotland to the remote island of Raasay for what is described as "one of the toughest selection courses yet".

Putting them through a condensed course over eight days will be Ant Middleton and his team of Directing Staff (DS), Foxy, Billy, Melvyn and Staz.

It'll be Ant's last appearance on the show, which was filmed last year, after he was dropped by Channel 4 in March over Black Lives Matter tweets.

The 12 stars will face gruelling tasks and interrogations that will test them both physically and mentally and each will confront surprising truths about themselves.

Here's the full list of contestants who'll be hoping that they're up to the challenge...
