Ant and Dec give first glimpse of I’m A Celeb South Africa as they celebrate Dec’s birthday
ANT McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have given fans a first glimpse of I’m A Celeb South Africa.
The pair shared a video of what they got up to on set to celebrate Dec’s birthday.
Earlier this week the Geordie duo revealed they are now filming I’m A Celeb’s spin-off series as they posted a video from South Africa while making the first ever pre-recorded episodes of the ITV hit.
Today marked Dec’s 47th birthday and the show made his day extra special.
They took to Instagram earlier today to share what they’ve been doing.
The clip started with Ant and Dec arriving on set with the rest of the crew wearing party hats and as the birthday boy got out of the car they threw confetti on him and cheered.

Ant asked his partner in crime: “How does it feel having your birthday on I’m A Celebrity?”
“That’s weird isn’t it?!,” Dec replied.
They also filmed Dec opening his presents.
Ant treated him to packets and packets of Biltong – dried meat that is very popular in South Africa.

They captioned the post: “Happy Birthday Dec! 
“We don’t usually get the chance to celebrate Dec’s birthday whilst at #ImACeleb Hopefully he won’t bite off more than he can chew… 
#ItsAllGoneBiltong.”
On Thursday the presenters shared a video from Kruger National Park, where the Aussie version of the show is shot.
Dec told followers: “We’ve got news. It’s probably the worst kept secret in television.
“But we can confirm we’re doing a very special series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in South Africa. Look at this joint.”
Ant joked: “Nobody told me” adding: “We’re here aren’t we?”
Dec said: “It’s going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time in South Africa.”
Ant asked: “But are we going to Australia, Declan?”
He replied: “Yes we are. This year we are going back. Normal Australia 2022 and South Africa 2023.”
The line-up is partly shrouded in secrecy although Amir Khan, Paul Burrell and Helen Flanagan are all known to be involved.
However, Kerry Katona will not be appearing, with the 2014 champ telling The Sun she was unable to join the camp.

As Ant and Dec confirmed, producers will still shoot a normal series – featuring brand new stars – in Murwillumbah, New South Wales later this year.
The ‘best of’ version is set to air early 2023, giving viewers three series in less than two years as the show switches back from Wales to Oz.
