The series will be broadcast on weekdays for three weeks, with the final week clashing with the semifinals of the Eurovision Song Contest on Tuesday 9 and Thursday 11 May.
Featuring iconic stars Shaun Ryder, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman, Paul Burrell, Amir Khan, Janice Dickinson and Fatima Whitbread.
And Helen Flanagan was seen hanging hundreds of feet in the air when she took part in one of the show’s first bush tucker trials.
In scenes to air in the upcoming series, the 32-year-old actress is forced to jump between huge inflatable balls over the South African outback.
She is seen wearing a helmet and strapped into a safety harness as she faces her fears in the ultimate test.
Helen then bounces across the temporary bridge to collect stars for camp alongside fellow contestants Phil Tufnell and Fatima Whitbread.
Speaking of the challenge, a source told me The sun“Helen has made no secret of her not being good with heights and her fellow camp mates really had to persuade her to give it a try.”
Helen isn’t the only star to face a scary lawsuit, as Carol Vorderman was spotted bungy jumping in the show’s trailer.

In the clip, the 62-year-old presenter can be seen dressed in safety gear and standing on the edge of a plank preparing to jump.
Before entering the jungle for a second time, Carol admitted that her biggest challenge was “walking the plank” during her stint in 2016, so it could be quite challenging.
Rumor has it that Myleene Klass will also appear on the show, which was filmed last year, as one of the latecomers.
It comes after Helen admitted that she would “rather give birth” than relive one of the bush tucker trials of her recent I’m A Celebrity stint.
The former Coronation Street star, who originally hit the Australian jungle in 2012, admitted that it’s “hell” and “really hard” there on Friday’s Loose Women.
Recounting her jungle experience, she told the panel, “You have to be a certain kind of person, it’s hell in there, it’s horrible.”

She talked about the trials and conditions in the camp and continued: “The trials are very, very difficult. You feel dirty, you can’t shower.
‘I also feel that it is sometimes intense to be filmed 24/7.
‘I did one trial and I thought, ‘I’d rather give birth now!’ I’m a wimp by nature, I’m afraid of heights, spiders, snakes.’
The actress’s time in the jungle meant she was away from her three children who she shares with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, but credits him and their mothers for looking after the kids.
I’m A Celebrity starts on Mondays on ITV at 9pm.
