Overview
- The extended launch airs at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly hosting.
- Five stars parachute onto a beach before wading through offal and slime to free a key fob, while the others face green ants by hand with snakes in head boxes at a villa.
- Seats in the Getaway Car grant a faster route, steak dinner and the best beds, with the remaining celebrities bound for the critter‑filled Cockie Van with Kiosk Kev.
- ITV’s new rule limits viewer voting so the same celebrity cannot be chosen for a third consecutive Bushtucker trial after doing two in a row.
- Reports say contestants must stay at least 72 hours to secure their full fee, a condition not confirmed by ITV.
