The second season of I'm A Celebrity South Africa comes to a climax tonight, Friday, April 24, 2026, on ITV. After weeks of pre-recorded drama, the finale will be broadcast live for the first time, allowing viewers to vote for the winner.
Is the Final Live?
Unlike the main I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! series, the South Africa spin-off was almost entirely pre-recorded in September 2025. However, the grand finale will air live from London, hosted by Ant and Dec. The finalists do not yet know who has won, as the result will be determined by a public vote during the live broadcast.
Who Are the Finalists?
The five campmates vying for the title of King or Queen of the Jungle are: Scarlett Moffatt, Mo Farah, Harry Redknapp, Adam Thomas, and Craig Charles. All series participants are expected to attend the live finale, except Beverley Callard, who exited the jungle early and will not be present due to health reasons.
How to Vote
Viewers can vote for their favorite campmate via the official I'm A Celeb app, available for free on Apple and Google Play stores. Voting opens at the end of the first episode (7:30 PM to 9:00 PM) and closes after one hour. The winner will be announced in a second episode starting at 10:00 PM.
Where Was It Filmed?
The series was filmed at Kruger National Park in South Africa, a renowned wildlife reserve home to the Big Five and numerous other species. The park is celebrated for its biodiversity and self-drivable safari routes.
Previous Winner
The inaugural season in 2023 was won by Myleene Klass, with Jordan Banjo and Fatima Whitbread as runners-up. The 2026 champion will be crowned in tonight's live finale.
Tune in to ITV1 and ITVX from 7:30 PM for the final trials and live vote, with the results show at 10:00 PM.
