The popular ITV show kicks off tonight with the stars trying to be crowned leaders of the camp - and exempt from the first bushtucker trial.

Paired into five teams before they enter the jungle, the celebrities must first find keys to unlock canoes by putting their hands into "hell holes", which are likely to contain insects, snakes or other creepy crawlies.

And then they soon discover as they race each other along a river Down Under, the boats are not as watertight as they seem.
