I’m A Celebrity South Africa is coming to a close after an action-packed series that has seen, tears, tantrums, fallouts and friendships. The hit All Stars edition of the popular ITV series has had viewers gripped as the famous faces take on tasks tougher than ever.

However, unlike the usual offerings in Australia, this edition has been pre-recorded – apart from segments of the finale.

When is the I’m A Celebrity final?
The latest I’m A Celebrity All Stars final will take place this Friday, April 24. Viewers will get the chance to see the campmates reunite as the King or Queen of the jungle is revealed.
The show will be aired earlier than it’s usual 9pm ITV1 slot. For the finale, viewers can tune in between 7.30pm and 9pm. The second part will then take place to crown the winner between 10pm and 10.30pm.
Is the I’m A Celebrity South Africa final live?
Yes, for the first time ever, the All-Star Series will conclude with a live UK studio final. The public will be in control of choosing the winner, just like in the usual series.
The actual series was filmed in September 2025 at Kruger National Park, South Africa. It’s only the final that wasn’t pre-recorded.
Of the decision, host Declan Donnelly said: “Myleene Klass won it in South Africa last time, doing the best final head-to-head, Bushtucker trial thing we’ve ever seen. So we thought we want to leave it up to the public, but to get to that point, to be a finalist, we’ve made it tougher than ever.”
What can viewers expect from the I’m A Celeb finale?
All the finalists will be in the studio for the finale – and it’s set to be eventful. Jimmy has already confirmed he plans to tell his side of the dramatic fallout with Adam. It comes after Sinitta revealed not all of the expletives were shown to viewers – and Jimmy is sure not to hold back.
With other twists and turns along the way, the public will be eager to find out what actually went down in camp. And it’ll be up to Geordie duo Ant and Dec to help coax it out of them.
There will also be four trials and meals to squeeze in to viewing before the fourth spot is confirmed in the first slot. The final three will then appear in the last segment, with the show set to play out in a similar way to what happens in Australia.
Who is involved?
This year saw David Haye, Seann Walsh, Scarlett Moffatt, Adam Thomas, Sir Mo Farah, Ashley Roberts, Sinitta and Beverley Callard enter camp first. They were then followed later by Gemma Collins, Craig Charles, Jimmy Bullard and Harry Redknapp.
The final will see four contestants battle it out. At the time of writing Seann, David, Gemma, Beverley and Jimmy had left the show. Wednesday’s edition is set to see another double eviction take place to whittle down the numbers further.
And a further campmate is to leave on Thursday, leaving just four for Friday’s conclusion.
