I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is set to return for its twenty-second series on 6 November 2022 on ITV.[1] The series is set to be filmed in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, with the show returning to Australia for the first time since 2019, following the easing of travel restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Ant & Dec will return to present the series.[2]
Production
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, the twentieth and twenty-first series were filmed at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales.[3][4] Following the conclusion of the latter, media speculation began as to whether the series would return to Australia.[5][6] It was also confirmed that ITV would film an "All-Stars" series in South Africa, featuring former campmates and scheduled to air in 2023. However, it was stated that the series would be used as a back up option if the show was unable to return to Australia.[7] In August 2022, it was confirmed that the series would return to Australia for the first time since the nineteenth series.[8][9] Prior to the series, it was announced that Bob McCarron, known informally as "Medic Bob", who had been the show's medic since its inception, would not be returning to the series.[10] On 7 October 2022, ITV released the first trailer for the series, a ten-second teaser featuring a helicopter flying through the sky on the way to Australia, as Donnelly exclaims "Where is the luggage going?" with McPartlin replying "It's meeting us there".[11][12] A full-length trailer was released a week later, depicting Ant & Dec parachuting out of a helicopter into the jungle surrounded by camp essentials.[13][14] The series is set to begin on 6 November, a week earlier than usual due to the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.[15][16]

Dingo Dollar challenges
As well as competing in the Bushtucker trials, celebrities have to complete 'Dingo Dollar Challenges' in order to earn treats for the camp. At least two celebrities are chosen to compete in the challenge. These are often mental challenges, rather than challenges including critters. They must complete the challenge they have been given in order to win 'Dingo Dollars'. After completion of the challenge, the celebrities will take the Dingo Dollars and head to the Outback Shack, where they will purchase one of two snack options, from Kiosk Kev. But, before they are allowed to take the prize, the other celebrities back at the living quarters must answer a question, based on a recent survey. If they get the question right, they will earn the treat, but if they get it wrong, the celebrities will go back empty handed.[20]
