CAROL Vorderman will lead the way when I'm A Celebrity returns to tv tonight (April 24) at a brand new South African setting. 

Presenters Ant and Dec will return to the helm as the following jungle stars return to camp for the "once in a lifetime experience" in a bid to be named the first I’m A Celebrity ‘Legend’: Boxing champion Amir Khan; Diversity dancer and DJ Jordan Banjo; former Coronation Street Star Helen Flanagan; TV presenter Carol Vorderman; Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread; former Royal butler Paul Burrell; ex-England cricketer Phil Tufnell; supermodel Janice Dickinson and music legend Shaun Ryder. 

On tonight's show - Carol, who grew up in Rhyl and Prestatyn and is a former Ysgol Mair and Blessed Edward Jones Catholic High School pupil, will be seen arriving first at the new location. She is joined by former jungle buddy Jordan and Amir.

The trio find a tape recorder with a voice message from hosts Ant and Dec explaining that they will immediately face their first Challenge in a bid to win a star - and a meal - for camp. 

The nervous threesome learn that they will individually face a staggering 50m drop over the edge of an imposing South African mountain. Once they’ve plummeted, they must locate a numbered code, which they have to remember until they are hoisted back up to the top.

Here, they need to use the code to open a padlock, which is keeping their star locked in a cage. 

Carol bravely opts to go first. But as she takes her first tentative steps, how will she and her campmates fare?
