But for the first time it won’t be splashing out £100,000 to fly family members and pals there.

The production team has previously paid for return business-class flights to Australia and seven-night stays at Palazzo Versace hotel in Surfers Paradise. 

This year there will be no familiar faces to greet celebs as they leave the jungle via a rope bridge.

The move comes amid reports that ITV is cutting costs as ad income plummets due to coronavirus.

The channel reported a 42 per cent fall in ad revenue in April as firms cut their spending.

A telly source said: “Having no friends or family flown out will be a big blow to celebrities.

“Producers have even involved them in recent years by taking them into the jungle in the final days to create heartfelt scenes.

“There are early plans to film video calls to capture celebs having their first chats with loved ones.
