As of the episode airing on Monday, April 6, 2026, no celebrities were voted out of I’m a Celebrity… South Africa, as the night marked the high-profile launch of the second All-Stars series. The premiere episode served as a “sneak peek” and introduction to the 12 returning legends, meaning the first official elimination is not expected until later in the week. Unlike the standard Australian series, the All-Stars format in South Africa often utilizes “Survival Trials” and campmate votes rather than daily public voting to determine who leaves the camp. Fans can expect the first departure to occur once the initial “Yellow Team vs. Blue Team” challenges conclude, with the results typically being announced toward the end of the 9:00 PM GMT broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX.
The 2026 All-Stars Lineup
The 2026 series of I’m a Celebrity… South Africa features 12 of the most memorable campmates from the show’s 25-year history. This “All-Stars” cast was hand-selected to celebrate the show’s enduring legacy and provide a higher level of difficulty in the trials.
The Icons: Gemma Collins, Harry Redknapp, and Scarlett Moffatt.
The Athletes: Sir Mo Farah and David Haye.
The Entertainers: Ashley Roberts, Seann Walsh, and Sinitta.
The dynamic in the 2026 camp is already proving volatile, particularly with the return of Gemma Collins, who famously lasted only three days in her original 2014 stint. Early reports from the South African set suggest that the “Legend” status has added a layer of competitive tension not seen in the regular 2025 series.
Elimination Rules: How All-Stars Differs
A major point of confusion for viewers in 2026 is the elimination format. In the standard series (like the one won by Morgan “Angryginge” Burtwistle in December 2025), the public votes daily for their favorites.
In the South Africa All-Stars format, the celebrities often control their own destiny. Eliminations are typically decided by:
Survival Trials: The bottom-performing celebrities in a task face a head-to-head battle where the loser is sent home immediately.
The Camp Vote: In certain “Secret Ballot” twists, campmates must choose one of their own to leave.
The Live Final: For the 2026 series, ITV has confirmed that the public will choose the ultimate winner during a live broadcast from the UK at the end of the month.
Last Season Recap: 2025 Winner
To understand the 2026 momentum, one must look back at the record-breaking 25th series which concluded on December 7, 2025. Morgan Burtwistle (Angryginge) was crowned the “King of the Jungle” after a landslide public vote.
Burtwistle defeated runner-up Tom Read Wilson and third-place finisher Shona McGarty in a final that saw over 12 million votes cast. His victory marked a significant shift in the show’s demographic, bringing a massive influx of younger “social media first” viewers to the ITV platform.
