The 2016 Queen of the Jungle and the 2022 contestant will be fronting an audio companion for the upcoming all-star special, which will feature gossip and exclusive interviews with the campmates and they are thrilled to have landed the job.

Seann said: "I had the most amazing experience doing 'I'm A Celebrity' last year so I can't wait to get back into the Jungle world with the first ever 'I'm A Celeb' podcast.

“Scarlett and I will be discussing everything, no subjects are off limits and this time, I get to sleep in my own bed. I cannot wait!"

Scarlett added: "I'm so excited to be hosting the first ever 'I'm A Celebrity' podcast with Seann - we both love a giggle and a natter so I can't wait to get stuck in watching episodes of 'I'm A Celebrity...South Africa'."

And the former 'Gogglebox' star suggested she is backing Carol Vorderman or Jordan Banjo to win, having embarked on her original jungle stint with them.

She added: “It’s amazing to see some of our favourite campmates from over the years, including my Jungle family Carol and Jordan who are going back into camp....who will be crowned 'I'm A Celebrity Legend'? I can't wait!!"

But the introduction of 'I'm A Celebrity...South Africa - The Podcast' - which will be found on Global Player or all other major platforms, as well as the show's YouTube channel - suggested there are no plans to bring back the spin-off programmes that ran alongside the main broadcast until 2019, with 2020 seeing an online spin-off, 'The Daily Drop', launched, and then no companion programme in the years afterwards due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “The spin-off didn’t run during the pandemic but when Ant and Dec returned to Australia in 2022 and there was no updated format, the writing seemed to be on the wall.

“Viewing habits are in constant flux so launching a podcast is a great idea and shows the programme has legs to adapt to trends.”

'I’m A Celebrity…South Africa' begins next Monday April 24 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
