With the first episode of the 2022 series looming, this year’s celebrities will no doubt be wondering what tasks they will be up against.
Hosts Ant and Dec will be splitting the contestants into two teams for the first trial, who will then have to take on the terrifying Walk The Plank challenge.
Photos of the first challenge from this year’s series show that contestants will be up against a terrifying task on top of a skyscraper, having to walk long runways suspended in the air above the ground way below.
The production team is hard at work constructing the large metal structure on top of a thirty storey building, with images showing that the campmates will be up against a sheer drop as they dangle from harnesses high above the ground below.
