There is no live episode of “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” airing in the UK tonight, March 6, 2026, as the main series traditionally premieres in November; however, the highly anticipated “All-Stars” South Africa series is scheduled to launch on ITV1 and ITVX in April 2026. For fans in Australia, the 12th season of the domestic version recently concluded its run on February 22, 2026, with comedian Concetta Caristo being crowned the winner. UK viewers can expect daily episodes of the All-Stars edition to air at 9:00 PM GMT once the spring season officially begins, featuring legendary campmates from the past 25 years returning to the Kruger National Park for a “harder and tougher” set of challenges.
The 2026 UK Schedule: South Africa All-Stars
The British version of the show is expanding its reach in 2026 with the return of the popular “All-Stars” format.
Spring 2026 Launch
While a specific date has not been finalized, ITV has confirmed that I’m a Celebrity… South Africa Series 2 will air in “Spring 2026,” likely following the April–May window established by the first series in 2023. Unlike the main Australian jungle series, the South African episodes are pre-recorded (filmed in September 2025), though 2026 introduces a major twist: the grand finale will be broadcast live from a UK studio, allowing the public to vote for the ultimate “Legend.”
Main Series (November 2026)
The 26th regular series of the UK show is expected to return to its traditional home in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia, in mid-November 2026. Following the 2025 victory of Angryginge (social media star), producers are reportedly scouting a mix of “traditional” TV legends and high-engagement digital creators to maintain the show’s record-breaking 2025 ratings.
Rumoured All-Stars 2026 Line-Up
The 2026 South Africa series features “Living Legends” who have previously competed in the jungle.
The Heavy Hitters
Speculation and “leaked” reports from late 2025 suggest a powerhouse cast for the 2026 All-Stars series. Names frequently linked include Gemma Collins, whose original 72-hour stint is legendary; Sir Mo Farah, looking for a more successful run than his castle experience; and Harry Redknapp, the 2018 King of the Jungle. Other names circulating in 2026 include Ashley Roberts, Sinitta, and Craig Charles.
Format Changes: “Tougher Than Ever”
Teasers released in February 2026 suggest the South African camp is significantly more “basic” than the Australian setup. Campmates will reportedly face “Survival Trials” rather than just standard stars-for-food trials, where the loser is immediately sent home, mirroring the brutal elimination style of the 2023 spin-off.
Australia’s 2026 Season 12 Recap
The Australian version of the show (hosted by Julia Morris and Robert Irwin) made headlines throughout early 2026.
The 2026 Winner: Concetta Caristo
Airing from January 18 to February 22, 2026, the Australian Season 12 saw radio host Concetta Caristo take the crown. She beat out former NRL player Luke Bateman and veteran actor Gary Sweet in a finale that focused heavily on her growth through the “Toughest” versions of the Tucker Trials.
Location and Hosting
The Australian show continues to be filmed in the Kruger National Park, South Africa (confusingly for UK viewers, the AU show goes to SA, while the UK show usually goes to AU). Robert Irwin has been widely praised in 2026 for his hosting chemistry with Julia Morris, following his recent success on Dancing With The Stars US.
Practical Information and Planning
For those looking to engage with the show or visit the iconic locations, 2026 offers several avenues.
How to Watch and Stream
UK (All-Stars/Main): Airing on ITV1 nightly at 9:00 PM. Catch-up and live streaming are available on ITVX.

This has triggered a massive spike in search traffic for “I’m a Celeb tonight,” as fans anticipate the official reveal of the start date, which is expected to be announced on April 1, 2026.
