I'm A Celebrity South Africa Odds: Redknapp And Price For Jungle Return?
ITV look set to bring back I'm A Celebrity... South Africa for a second series, following the show's 2023 debut.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! co-hosts Ant and Dec are expected to return to front the spin-off show, which was won by Myleene Klass two years ago.
A source close to the production told MailOnline: "It did well last time and while they can’t do it annually, they wanted to do another."
Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, TV presenter Carol Vorderman and former boxer Amir Khan were among the I'm A Celebrity stars who returned for the series, which was filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
The new series is expected to be filmed later this year, and there are plenty of early rumblings on betting sites about who might take part.
Katie And Pete Reunion?
Former couple Katie Price and Peter Andre famously met on I'm A Celebrity's third season in 2004, and they went on to have two children together.
While they have since split, with Peter happily married to wife Emily - who he has three children with - and Katie dating JJ Slater, the pair are among the favourites on betting apps to head back to the I'm A Celebrity format for a South Africa reunion.
Katie is certainly no stranger to a reality TV show, and she is just Evens to take part in I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, while Pete is 6/4.

Jason Donovan | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Series three winner Kerry Katona is good pals with Katie and she defeated the star and musician Pete to the jungle title in 2004.
It is just 5/4 that Kerry heads to South Africa for another go at the crown.
What's more, Stacey Solomon is just 7/4 for another I'm A Celebrity appearance and her pal Shaun Ryder is a 15/8 chance.
The pair both took part in I'm A Celebrity's 10th series, which Stacey won, alongside This Morning presenter Alison Hammond, who is 5/2 to appear in I'm A Celebrity... South Africa.

Harry's South African Adventure
Harry Redknapp stormed to I'm A Celebrity series 18 victory in 2018, and he is a short price favourite to take part in the South African spin-off show.
The football manager captured the hearts of the nation while taking camp life in his stride and discussing his love of jam roly poly and his childhood sweetheart Sandra Redknapp, his wife of more than 50 years.
And he is 4/5 to do the same again in South Africa.
Others who could be in contention for an I'm A Celebrity... South Africa appearance include father-to-be Mark Wright.
The former TOWIE star and his wife Michelle Keegan recently announced they are expecting their first child together, and he is just 3/1 to sign up for the show, which could pay for a nappy or two.
Elsewhere, politicians Matt Hancock (9/2) and Nigel Farage (5/1) might want another piece of the action when I'm A Celebrity heads to South Africa again.
The pair both finished third in their respective series, but last year it was reported ITV had banned politicians from taking part in the main show.
Should the so-called ban be lifted then Hancock or Farage could get the nod.
Vardy's I'm A Celebrity Return
One star who has made no secret of the fact she wants to return to the main show is Rebekah Vardy.
During last year's series, Rebekah issued a come-and-get-me plea to ITV when her nemesis Coleen Rooney was taking part in the programme.
She told The Sun newspaper: "If people really want us to meet up before that, then ITV should get me in that jungle as a special guest. What are they scared of? Confrontation? But isn’t that what the show’s all about? It’s about viewing figures.
"Coleen’s legal team were very dismissive about my reality TV past. They mocked it. So for her to be doing the jungle now, it’s hypocrisy at its finest, isn’t it?
"I think there was always a plan for reinvention. She stayed out of the public eye for so long."
Rebekah's comments came after she previously sued Coleen for libel after the latter accused Vardy of leaking details of her private life to the press, in a feud that was dubbed "Wagatha Christie" by the media.
Rebekah lost the libel trial, and her I'm A Celebrity 2024 cameo didn't materialise either.
Despite this, Vardy is just 6/5 to make an All Stars appearance, just behind former TOWIE star Joey Essex (11/10).
Joey became the first celebrity to take part in the main Love Island series last year, and despite hinting he had retired from reality TV, he could be tempted to head to South Africa if ITV dig deep.
Vicky Pattison may also be in demand.
The former Geordie Shore star won I'm A Celebrity's 15th series, and she is just 2/1 to sign up for a South Africa stint.
