TWO of the original I'm a Celebrity campmates looked unrecognisable as they reunited more than 20 years after the first series.
Last night a new bunch of stars moved into the I'm a Celebrity camp – with the likes of Nigel Farage and Danielle Harold competing to be crowned King of Queen of the jungle.
Today Darren Day and Christine Hamilton appeared on Good Morning Britain to share their thoughts on the new series and share secrets from their time on the show.
Darren, 55, and Christine, 74, were among the very first I'm a Celebrity campmates back in 2001.
They starred alongside eventual King of the Jungle Tony Blackburn and the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who was the series runner-up.
Model Nell McAndrew, comedian Rhona Cameron, boxer Nigel Benn and magician Uri Geller completed the series one line-up.

Christine told how she initially turned the show down, saying: "I just said no, but I had no idea what I was turning down.
"It was a life changing moment for me."
During the interview Darren revealed that while in the jungle he was going cold turkey from his addictions to alcohol and cocaine.
He said: "I literally went cold turkey in front of the whole country. I was smashed when I got on the plane [to Australia]."
