Ant and Dec reveal all-star I'm a Celeb series is 'quite brutal'
The upcoming series will feature celebrities who previously starred on the original version of the show.
news.stv.tvHere’s the latest I can share about I'm a Celebrity... South Africa.
- The series has been airing in two recent cycles, with all-star editions featuring former contestants. A 2026 all-star return was confirmed, and reports around April 2026 highlighted the cast for that year.[2][4]
- The 2026 edition is described as an all-star format, with episodes largely pre-recorded, and a live final broadcast back in the UK where viewers can vote for the winner.[2]
- ITV has promoted the South Africa setting as a key feature, with Ant & Dec confirming the franchise’s return and teasing twists for the all-stars format.[3]
- For context, the original South Africa all-stars series debuted in 2023-2025, featuring familiar jungle veterans and revised formats, but the 2026 cycle marks a renewed push with a live UK final.[8][3]
