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...
Why isn’t 'I’m a Celebrity... South Africa’ filmed live?
The normal series of I’m a Celeb airs live with viewers watching the campmates’ reactions as Ant and Dec reveal who’s leaving the show each week.
However, this special, all-stars edition was pre-recorded. It was revealed last April that this season was filmed as a back-up in case Covid restrictions meant the crew couldn’t return to Australia as normal.
Filming for the South Africa series took place in July 2022.

What will happen after last night’s cliffhanger?
Thursday’s penultimate episode featured a new twist, as the celebrities who exited the series earlier in its run (including Andy Whyment, Janice Dickinson, Amir Khan, Georgia “Toff” Toffolo and Joe Swash) were brought back to the jungle and told to pick which contestant would be kicked out, whittling the four remaining contestants down to a “final three”.
