I'm A Celebrity 2023 starts with HUGE shake-up as Nigel Farage, Nella Rose and Josie Gibson are dropped into the Australian outback alone

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here fans were met with a huge shake-up to the usual format minutes into the first episode of the series on Sunday.

Viewers were not only treated with an extra-long episode, but with an unusual extra element.

Instead of being welcomed on lavish speed boats with champagne to meet the other celebrities, three contestants were thrown straight into the deep end.

Nigel Farage, Josie Gibson and Nella Rose were driven and dropped off separately in the Australian outback - for the first time in history.
