A NEW I’m a Celebrity theme park will open in Manchester – where you can be crowned king or queen of the jungle.
Thankfully, the attraction won’t feature some of the famous bugs and critters challenges common in the ITV programme.

The I’m A Celebrity Jungle Challenge will be an indoor attraction at Salford near the Lowry Outlet Mall.
It will feature replica areas of Base Camp, as well as the favourite Croc Creek and Snake Rock.
Guests will be able to spend 90 minutes on challenges such as zipwires, parachute drops and vertical climbing walls to collect the important gold stars.
William van Rest, ITV’s director of games, live and merchandising, said any animals that would be included in the attraction wouldn’t be real and would be virtual representations, according to the BBC.
He said: “Some of the games within I’m A Celebrity are things like treetop challenges, and one of the team who helps create the games for I’m A Celebrity is helping us with this.”
