For years, the Celebrity Cyclone has been the most intimidating of all I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! trials. This year, it looks like it may have met its match!
The ITV show's trials chief Matt Wilkinson revealed in a recent chat with Digital Spy that his team have devised the biggest competition in the show's history, involving all of the campmates.
"We've got the biggest ever trial full stop," he said. "It's the biggest thing we've ever constructed for a trial.
"I can say that all the contestants will be present. I can't tell you in what capacity. I can't tell you anything more than that."
Is he teasing a revamp of the Celebrity Cyclone, or an all-new trial? Fans will have to watch to find out, but editor Olly Nash did give us some scoop on the jungle delights that campmates can expect as a reward.
"In terms of delicacies for the jungle camp, the only new thing we've looked into are sea urchins – but we're not 100% sure we're going to get them," he teased.

"They are horrible spiky little balls with apparently very little meat on them. The urchin will be for them to eat as a reward for a trial – but I don't know what the trials team is feeding them in the trials this year, because that changes. They've got some pretty weird recipes, as always."
If an urchin is a reward, we'd hate to see the punishment...
Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby host the premiere of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! on Sunday (November 18) at 9pm on ITV.
