I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa has been renewed for a second season.
Following the success of the debut series in 2023, ITV has announced that a second series of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa will air in 2026 on ITV1, STV & ITVX.
The star-studded show will bring together some of the most iconic campmates from past series as they return to the jungle, eager to test themselves. Brand new trials and challenges await them in the South African wilderness and both Ant and Dec will return to host.
The trials will be harder than ever, meaning the stakes are so much higher – expect the unexpected, with twists and turns around every corner. Campmates will be faced with challenges at every turn and an exciting new part of this new series is that the public will have the power to decide who is crowned the ultimate legend 2026.
Viewers will have their say and cast the final vote in a live grand final broadcast direct from London.
