Former I’m a Celebrity campmates will take on The Masked Singer in a TV show collaboration on ITV.

The Masked Singer will be I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! themed in a one-off special later this year, ITV has confirmed.

The exact dynamic is yet to be confirmed but it's thought ex campmates will dress up as jungle critters, with costumes including a witchery grub and a kangaroo – just some of the things contestants in the jungle are typically faced with.

The celebrities taking part will of course remain top secret until the show airs, but we know that Joel Dommett will be back as its host.

Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan will also be back as the show’s panelists.

The jungle-critter costumes aren’t the only I’m A Celeb twist The Masked Singer will receive; ITV have teased a "bonkers show-blending new twist", which will put Dommett up to a challenge too.

He’ll be tasked with ‘hunting down those all-important mind-bending clues for the panel.’

The one-off combination is to celebrate the return of I’m A Celebrity, which will finally be filmed in Australia after two years in Wales due to COVID restrictions.
