Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will return to northern NSW later this year for the new season, and the celebrity cast has yet to be announced.
Ant, 46, called Australia the show’s “spiritual home”, saying the team did not want to film the series anywhere else.
Appearing on The One Show In the UK in February, Ant said: “We love Wales but you know, Australia is home and we’d love to go back there if we could.
“That’s what we’re hoping for, touch wood,” December added.
