I’m A Celebrity 2022 first look as Australian set reveals new challenge ahead of series filming
I'M A Celebrity 2022 is officially underway - as the set is finally being constructed for the latest challenges in the new series.
Exclusive snaps have revealed that a number of structures are being put up on the Australian set ahead of the new series this winter.
Show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were seen filming the first advert for the highly-anticipated ITV series earlier this year.
Now, the set is officially being constructed in Australia - as the show makes its hot return to Australia after two years in Wales.
The production was halted from taking place Down Under due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but new snaps have confirmed a number of challenges are already being set up in the jungle.
Aerial photographs show the huge studio from which Ant, 46, and Dec, 46, present the show - as well as the iconic celebrity walkway.
