You know it's nearly Christmas when you hear those familiar jungle cries as it can only mean one thing: I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is back on our screens.

It's the reality show everyone waits all year for to witness celebrities squirming among rats, cockroaches and spiders.

So it's no wonder people are dying to know when I'm a Celeb will be returning. Well, we won't have to wait much longer.

ITV took to Facebook this morning to announce the show's 2017 start date - and people are getting very excited about it.

Yes, that means the jungle games will begin exactly two weeks today on Sunday, November 19 at 9pm.

So it's not really long at all to wait, but 14 days seems like an age when you're looking forward to it.

The announcement has sparked a wave of excitement on social media, attracting thousands of comments and shares as people excitedly tag their friends in the post.

Dee Sharpe wrote: "Exciting. Love this programme. One of the best and soooo look forward to it every year."

Owen West commented: "Is there a way to tag everyone in the world? Mans just gotta tag everyone for this."

It is not known whether Ant McPartlin, who recently opened up about his addiction to painkillers after knee surgery, will return this year as a presenter with best friend Declan Donnelly.

Ant, 41, recently flew back into the UK after a stint in a US rehabilitation centre.

Reigning Queen of the jungle Scarlett Moffatt, alongside her runner-up Joel Dommett, will be flying out to Australia to present ITV2 spin-off show Extra Camp with Joe Swash.
