You just know when the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! line-up drops that Christmas is just around the corner.
Mentally, you don't really want to think about Xmas shopping, but the good news is that the creepy crawlies will be under the tree in the living room before you know it.
Last Friday (1 November), The Sun were right on cue to announce the leaked line-up for this year's rendition of the reality show.
ITV is yet to confirm the group of contestants and it's important to remember that they are likely to add a few more to that list of 12.
As always, we expect Ant and Dec to return to our screens to present the gruelling Bushtucker Trials.

But now, let's get down to business.
When it comes to the king, or queen, of the jungle, they are usually awarded with a nice ceremony and a fancy throne to sit on.
However, the I'm A Celeb winner doesn't actually receive any prize money, and that's because they are already getting an appearance fee.
While ITV don't tell us how much each celebrity earns, The Sun has reported that Coleen Rooney is rumoured to be the joint-highest paid contestant in the history of the show.

She is allegedly set to earn a whopping £1.5 million to appear and that's apparently the same amount Nigel Farage was on last year.
In second place comes Noel Edmonds, who reportedly earned £600,000 in 2018, followed by Caitlyn Jenner as she was said to have taken home an eye-watering £500,000 in 2019.
2018's king of the jungle Harry Redknapp was also reportedly paid the same figure.
As for the rest of the contestants, they generally receive anything between £30,000 and £900,000, according to reports.
Unless you're Rooney or Farage, that is (allegedly).

After the line-up dropped, one fan commented: "Wow, I've actually heard of six of them, that's a higher number than usual."
While another added: "Blimey, I am actually aware of the entire cast, except GK Barry, whoever she is. This should be a bloody good year!"

"I actually know a couple of these, and not just the older ones! Just putting it out there now, Danny for the win! #kingdanny!!" someone else wrote.
The first episode of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is set to premiere on ITV on 17 November, 2024.
