Iconic names from the show’s past reconvened in the South African bush last year for the programme’s very first all stars series.
Last night the pre-recorded series launched and the likes of Shaun Ryder, Carol Vorderman, Janice, Amir Khan and Paul Burrell came together in their camp gear.
Janice greeted Paul with a blank look and viewers were left confused by the US star’s failure to remember who the royal butler was.
They astutely pointed out that the duo starred together in Celebrity Big Brother back in 2015.
One viewer wasted no time in calling out the gaffe, writing on Twitter: “It’s funny cause Janice and Paul were in Celebrity Big Brother together years ago and she can’t remember him?? Sure Jan.”
Janice was famous for flirting with Declan Donnelly when she was on I’m A Celeb in 2007 – but this time round she was dishing out insults.
The supermodel, 68, was initially thrilled to see the presenting duo and ran over to greet them.
But it didn’t take long before Janice, who is known for brutal honesty, took a cheeky swipe at the Geordie lads.
Hugging them, she joked: “My boyfriends. I missed you so much. You look younger.”

Dec replied: “So do you! You have got no idea how excited we are to see you all again.”
Janice then looked them up and down, before adding: “That’s what you wear? You look like you are in prison!”
Ant responded: “Thanks Janice. We are in South Africa, this is like safari wear.”
Ahead of first challenge, Trunks of Torture, Janice told the camera: “I am feeling so syced, I’ve just met two campmates and they seem to be such nice guys – I just wish I knew who they were.”
Janice – who appeared on the show back in 2007 – declares: “I want to win it!”
The trio will be joined by boxing champion Amir Khan, Diversity dancer & DJ Jordan Banjo, former Coronation Street Star Helen Flanagan, TV presenter Carol Vorderman, Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread.
With no public vote, they will be competing against each other in a battle to become the first ever I’m A Celebrity Legend.
I’m A Celebrity…South Africa starts tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
