As the live final of I’m A Celebrity…Obtain Me Out of Here! All-Stars approaches on 24 April 2026, viewers across the globe are preparing to cast their votes for the second-ever Jungle Legend title. The South African series, which filmed in September 2025, features 12 former campmates returning to the jungle for another shot at victory, with the winner to be decided entirely by public vote in a broadcast originating from London.
The All-Stars format brings back familiar faces from the show’s history, including previous winners and fan favourites, to compete in a new set of trials designed to test their resilience and campmate dynamics. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are once again guiding the celebrities through the experience, joining them in the South African jungle for some of the most challenging tasks in the franchise’s history.
According to verified listings, the line-up includes Gemma Collins, who previously appeared in the 14th series in 2014 but left after just 72 hours. Ashley Roberts, known for her time with the Pussycat Dolls and her 2022 series appearance; and Harry Redknapp, the former football manager who won the main show in 2018. Other confirmed returnees featured in promotional material are Scarlett Moffatt, Beverley Callard, and David Hayes, among others.
The series premiered on 6 April 2026 on ITV, with episodes airing throughout April leading up to the live final. Most of the season was filmed in South Africa during September 2025 at a purpose-built camp facility, continuing the show’s leverage of international locations beyond its traditional Australian base. The decision to film in South Africa marks a shift for the All-Stars spin-off, which previously aired its inaugural series in 2023 from the same region.
Viewers have been particularly attentive to early tensions in the camp, with reports indicating friction between David Hayes and Beverley Callard emerged shortly after the season’s start. Scarlett Moffatt has commented on the intensity of returning, noting that while she expected the experience to perceive familiar given her prior participation, she found it significantly more demanding than her first appearance, attributing the heightened challenge to the strong personalities of the returning cast.
The public voting mechanism remains central to the All-Stars format, giving audiences direct influence over the outcome. Unlike the main series, where winners are crowned King or Queen of the Jungle, the All-Stars winner receives the title of ‘Jungle Legend’, reflecting their status as a returning veteran of the show. The live final will be broadcast from London, maintaining the tradition of concluding the series with a studio-based finale despite the overseas filming location.
As voting opens ahead of the final, fans are revisiting memorable moments from the series, including trial performances, camp interactions, and emotional reflections shared by the celebrities. The result will determine who joins Myleene Klass as a two-time winner of the I’m A Celebrity crown, following her victory in the 2023 All-Stars series.
