Every year, fans wait in anticipation for the line-up to be announced and for presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly to grace our screens with their witty one liners.
Celebrities undertake gruesome Bushtucker Trials, face their fears, bicker over the rations – all in a bid to be crowned the King or Queen of the Jungle.
For years, there have been rumours of an I’m A Celeb All Star series (opens in new tab). After much anticipation, it was confirmed last year and the celebrity line-up has been teased over the last few weeks.
With the All Stars version the clue is in the name – previous contestants and winners will be returning to compete once again in the much-loved programme, which is set in South Africa instead of Australia (or Wales, where it was filmed during the pandemic).
We have all the details on the upcoming series, from where it will take place, to the line up, and much more.
All that’s left to do is clear your schedule for the duration of the series, stock up on your evening snacks, and enjoy.
When will I’m a Celebrity All Stars air?
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa – also known as I’m a Celebrity All Stars – is finally set to hit the small screen this month.
The spin-off series was teased back in 2022, and now – just a few months later – it is on its way.
ITV has confirmed I’m A Celebrity… South Africa will begin on Monday 24 April at 9pm, and will be available to watch on ITV1 and ITVX.
Is I’m A Celebrity All Stars live?
Unlike previous seasons the new I’m a Celebrity… South Africa has been pre-recorded, so no it is not live.
The upcoming series will see contestants battle it out against one another in Bushtucker trials to be crowned the ultimate champion and Legend of the Savanna.
After the head to head games celebrities will be knocked out, so there is no need for viewers to vote, which is why it has previously been a live series.
When was I’m A Celebrity All Stars filmed?
Now we know I’m A Celebrity All Stars has been pre-recorded, we are keen to know when the presenters and celebrities managed to film the series without preying eyes.
In September last year, Ant and Dec confirmed the All Stars series was going ahead – but it has been reported the series was actually filmed prior to the announcement.
According to The Radio Times, (opens in new tab) the show was recorded last summer in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
So technically, the winner has already been crowned – we wonder who it is?!
