Declan Donnelly has mistaken the Australian outback for the Land of Oz, donning ruby red slippers for a sneak preview of the latest series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Dec and co-host Ant McPartlin are preparing to host the 14th instalment of the ITV reality show.

The pair have recorded a Wizard Of Oz-themed trailer to mark the return of the series, which this year is rumoured to include Tulisa Contostavlos, Olympic diver Tom Daley, TV host Melanie Sykes and former Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan.

In the trailer, to be screened on ITV this evening, the duo decide to follow a yellow brick road to find camp.

"It's going to be a good year, this year, Dec," says Ant. "I can feel it in my bones."

Giving a hint of what is to come in the Bushtucker Trials, Dec says that the celebrities will 'need brains' - before revealing one on his plate.

"Hold on, what on earth are you wearing on your feet?" Ant then asks Dec.

"Do you know what? They're surprisingly comfy," says Dec, clicking the heels of his sparkly, red slippers together.

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! returns to ITV next month.
