Your support makes all the difference.The grand final of I’m a Celebrity... South Africa is upon us.
After three weeks of camping and challenges, the all-stars spinoff will crown its first-ever “I’m a Celebrity Legend” tonight (12 May).
Singer Myleene Klass, athlete Fatima Whitbread, dancer Jordan Banjo and cricketer Phil Tufnell make up the final four, but all their former campmates are being brought back for the closing episode to carry out the horrible task of booting one of them out.
Other celebrities to appear in this series, which is made up of stars from across the flagship show’s history, have included Carol Vorderman, Shaun Ryder and Amir Khan.
Ant and Dec have been back on presenting duties.
There has been no public vote throughout this series, because it is not filmed live.
In tonight’s final, there will be two trials that will ultimately decide who will be named the first-ever “Legend”.
Follow updates on the final below...
And then there were two...
Since Fatima Whitbread has no concept of time, the final two contests are Jordan Banjo and Myleene Klass! We’re almost there folks...
We could be here a while...
They only had to have the glass boxes on their heads for 6 minutes! Fatima is refusing to tap out. They hit the full limit at 15 minutes.
“Fats you must have fallen asleep!” He says.
There’s no time for a shower – the final three are off to the next trial!
That was quick! None of the three were expecting to be called straight off to a trial. The penultimate trial will see them compete against each other. The loser will be eliminated and the final two will progress to one last trial to decide the winner of the series.
And the last finalist is... Fatima Whitbread!
This means former King of the Jungle Phil Tufnell is out. Aww, Tuffers, he’s taken it like a champ.
Jordan Banjo is the first finalist to go through
Paul Burrell announces the three contestants out of the remaining four who will go through to the final.
The first is... Jordan!
We’re off!

When did the South Africa cast first appear on the show

Is there a public vote?

At the end of the last episode, we saw all the evicted campmates from the series come back to select the final three.
Once the three have been selected, they’ll face one last test to determine who will be the first Legend of the jungle.
