We are all

I’M A CELEBRITY… Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off tonight with one of the most elaborate entrances to the jungle camp.

The 10 stars will spend up to three weeks taking on the harsh surroundin­gs of the Australian bush – but first they must walk a 334ft-high plank and face a 10,000ft skydive.

Viewers will tonight see the fun begin as five celebritie­s – Ian Wright, Nadine Coyle, Myles Stephenson, Kate Garraway and James Haskell – arrive by super car and board a luxury yacht moored off Australia’s Gold Coast.

The five remaining contestant­s – Roman Kemp, Jacqueline Jossa, Andrew Maxwell, Adele Roberts and Caitlyn Jenner – each board speedboats and make their way to a beach.

The celebritie­s on the boat have to race to swim to shore with the winner having the chance to pair up with any one of the five on land.

Once paired up they fight to become one of two “Power Pairs” who will enjoy special privileges on the journey to camp and in the jungle.

The couples then have to complete one of three routes to camp – either The Planks, a skydive or a canoe. Three pairs – Ian and Jacqueline, Roman and Myles and Kate and Andrew – make their way in helicopter­s to The Focus Building in Australia’s Surfers Paradise.

On the roof, they are greeted with a 334ft structure.

The show’s infamous Planks are tougher than ever because not only does each celebrity have to go out, but also down.

In pairs they have to walk to the end of the plank, which is suspended off the edge of the building, then climb down the ladder and perform tasks.

In the pre-recorded scenes, Nadine, Caitlyn, James and Adele make their way in helicopter­s to the edge of the jungle and to The Pontoon of Doom which sees them canoeing downstream.

Nadine and Caitlyn then have to skydive from 10,000ft to collect the keys and reunite with their partners at the Pontoon.

Nadine, from girl band Girls Aloud, was so nervous before her skydive – and started to get teary – that Caitlyn gave her a big hug and comforted her.
