I’m A Celebrity All Stars Makes Triumphant Return with Live Final Format for 2026

Return of the Legends

Following the success of the first All Stars series in 2023, ITV has officially confirmed that I’m A Celebrity All Stars will return for a second series in 2026.

Unlike previous editions, this upcoming series will introduce an exciting new element – a live grand final broadcast from London where viewers will have the power to crown the ultimate legend through public voting.

What’s New for 2026?

Ant and Dec, the show’s beloved hosts, have expressed their enthusiasm about the upcoming series, with Ant noting that ‘the campmates really brought their A-game to the first series.’ Dec has particularly highlighted the addition of the live final as an exciting new element, while also teasing that some of the new trials are ‘truly epic, even by I’m A Celeb… standards.’

Previous Success

The inaugural All Stars series proved to be a hit, with Myleene Klass emerging victorious as the first-ever ‘I’m A Celebrity Legend’ after a challenging final against Jordan Banjo.

Production Details

The new series is scheduled to begin filming in September 2025, and will take place in South Africa’s Kruger National Park region, offering the perfect combination of rugged terrain, wildlife, and isolation to properly challenge the celebrity contestants.

Looking Ahead

The award-winning reality series, which has been running for more than 20 years, continues to push celebrities to their limits with stomach-churning Bushtucker Trials and creepy crawly challenges as they compete for stars for camp. As Katie Rawcliffe, Director of Entertainment, Reality & Daytime Commissioning at ITV, noted, the network was ‘blown away by the love for the first series,’ setting high expectations for this upcoming edition.
