Carol Vorderman and Janice Dickinson are set to engage in an “explosive bust-up” on the new series of I’m A Celebrity South Africa, it has been reported.
The pre-recorded show, which was filmed in South Africa’s Kruger National Park last year, kicks off on ITV1 and ITVX on Monday (April 23) – with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly back at the helm.
But rather than a bunch of nervous celebrities taking part, the cast for this series are all past contestants competing against each other for the right to remain in camp.

An insider has claimed the 62-year-old Countdown legend and 68-year-old former supermodel clash over their views on the monarchy.
A source told The Mirror: ‘It was a really explosive bust-up… Janice was effing and blinding.
“Janice can be quite abrasive and things got very heated.
“She said Carol’s views were old-fashioned and dated while Carol hit back that Janice was crass and obnoxious. She and Carol are both strong women with strong opinions. It was a personality clash that was bound to explode.”

What’s more, other cast-mates such as Helen Flanagan and ex-royal butler Paul Burrell leaped to Carol’s defence.
Janice and Carol filmed the show in the jungle last year alongside a number of ex campers including Shaun Ryder, Helen, Phil Tufnell, Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman, Paul, Amir Khan and Fatima Whitbread.
It has already been revealed that Janice, who originally competed on I’m A Celeb back in 2007, was forced to leave the show after a nasty fall.
The TV personality was reportedly rushed to hospital after sustaining head injuries following a fall on set while she was looking for the toilet in the middle of the night.
A source told The Sun on Sunday that she tripped over a cable in the dark at the camp and was found with “blood gushing from her head”.

It was claimed she was immediately rushed to hospital and had to pull out of the all-star series.
The source said the moment was “terrifying” and that her fellow campmates found Janice face down, with one of her co-stars stepping in to ask everybody to stand back and “give her space”.
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa launches on ITV1 and ITVX on Monday, April 24 at 9pm.
