NBC confirms 'I'm A Celeb' revival
NBC has bought the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! format from ITV, it has announced.

The deal means the show will also be produced by ITV's Los Angeles based production company Granada America.

According to Broadcast Now, the new series will differ from the UK version in that it will be filmed in South America as opposed to Australia.

10 celebrity contestants are being lined up to appear on the show, and they will undergo the same trials and challenges seen in the British version.

The hour-long show will be stripped from Monday to Thursday over 4 weeks in an 8pm slot, after a two-hour debut on Monday, June 1.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! was first launched in America six years ago by ABC, but ran for only one season after scoring disappointing ratings.
