As the rumoured line-up for this year’s I’m A Celebrity starts to emerge, crews are working around the clock to get the set finished.
Production has set up base in the depths of the Aussie jungle.
As you can see from our first look pictures, the Bushtucker Trials that the celebs will face are being built.
ITV are yet to reveal when this year’s I’m A Celeb, which is famously hosted by Ant and Dec, will start.

But last year it was on November 17, so with that in mind, they have around three weeks to get everything done.
The photos show the famous drawbridge is already in place.

Meanwhile speculation about who is taking part in I’m A Celeb this year is heating up.

The suspected line-up includes a whole range of famous faces, from soap stars to TV personalities.
The Sun exclusively revealed that ex-EastEnders star Shona, 34, was in advanced talks for the jungle – a year after leaving the BBC soap.
A source said at the time: “Jungle bosses have been keen to sign up the soap queen for ages.
“Shona is Walford royalty and hugely popular with TV viewers, she’s got bags of charisma and producers think she’ll be a great campmate.
“Plus fans haven’t seen much of her away from Enders, so I’m A Celeb will be an opportunity for her to show a completely different side to her personality.

“Show bosses are already talking to some brilliant names for the new series.”
Another big name that The Sun revealed is Kelly Brook, with a source telling us: “Show bosses have been after Kelly as a campmate for years and think she could possibly be their sexiest contestant ever.”
Other names linked to the show include Nick Ferrari, Vogue Williams, and Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley.
The soap star is understood to be one of the first stars to sign up to this year’s edition of the programme.
When speaking to The Sun on the red carpet of this year’s National Television Awards she revealed it was “flattering” to be asked each year to take part.

However, she played down reports and insisted: “They ask me every year to do it.
“Listen, who knows, I think I would be camp and fun and I’d have a laugh.
“I wouldn’t want to cook if we did go in there as I’m not a***d about that.
“But no I’m not, they’ve asked me for seven years now – every single year.”
Lisa went on to add: “I don’t know [why she turned it down].
“I am obviously filming Emmerdale and being Mandy Dingle – I can’t put my tabard down!
