I'm a Celebrity premiere 'absolutely brilliant' as campmates enter the jungle

The time has finally come to return to the jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and viewers have already hailed the first episode as "absolutely brilliant" as the 10 celebrities entered the jungle.

The first episode, which aired on Sunday, featured a first look at the line-up, which includes journalist Ruby Wax, Heart presenter Kelly Brook, pop legend Martin Kemp, TV personality Jack Osbourne, Emmerdale's Lisa Riley, Twitch streamer Angryginge, radio presenter Eddie Kadi, broadcaster Alex Scott, rapper Aitch and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.

The show kicked off with a bang as the first five celebrities – Aitch, Kelly Brook, Eddie Kadi, Shona McGarty and Martin Kemp – skydived into action and took on a star-studded challenge that saw them wade through offal and slime to win two coveted seats in the Getaway car.

Aitch and Eddie claimed victory, heading to the jungle in style, clinking cocktails and chanting: "Aitch and Eddie in the jungle!" This left Shona, Kelly and Martin to face the dreaded Cockie car with none other than Kiosk Kev at the wheel.

Meanwhile, the other five celebrities – Ruby Wax, Lisa Riley, Angry Ginge, Alex Scott and Jack Osbourne – tackled a challenge that involved their heads being locked in a box of snakes and their hands in a box of green ants. They then battled for the remaining two Getaway car spots, with Jack and Ginge coming out on top.

The day of challenges wasn't over for the losing celebrities, who were locked in the Cockie van and tasked with winning their dinner by unlocking six keys from the grate above their heads while being pelted with critters from above.

The team successfully secured all six keys, earning themselves an interesting-looking emu neck for dinner. An impressed Martin said: "That is good!" but Ruby disagreed, adding: "It was repulsive. I think for those six stars we should've had a burger and not one of those penis things..."

I'm a Celebrity... Get me Outta Here! returns tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
