I’m A Celebrity All Stars 2025: Everything We Know About the Star-Studded Return to South Africa

Return of the All-Star Format

Following the success of the first all-stars series in 2023, ITV has confirmed that I’m A Celebrity All Stars will return for a second series in 2026. The announcement was made in April 2025.

New Format Changes

Unlike previous seasons of I’m A Celebrity, the all-stars spin-off will be pre-recorded. However, in an exciting new development for this second series, the public will have the power to decide who is crowned the ultimate legend during a live grand final broadcast from London in 2026.

Location and Production Details

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly will be filming their hosting duties in November, with the duo juggling their schedules as they’re also set to film the main I’m a Celebrity series in Australia during the same period.

Show Format and Challenges

The format sees celebrities living together in extreme conditions with few creature comforts. Participants must undertake challenges to secure additional food and treats for the group, while competing to avoid elimination.

Executive Commentary

Speaking about the new series, Ant expressed excitement about the return, stating: “The campmates really brought their A-game to the first series so we can’t wait to be back for more trials, challenges and surprises amongst the beautiful South African landscape.” Dec added that having a live final is an exciting addition to the new series.

Previous Success

The first All Stars series crowned Myleene Klass as the inaugural ‘I’m A Celebrity Legend’ after she triumphed in an ultimate eating trial against Jordan Banjo. Speaking about her victory, Klass highlighted the significance of being voted for by her peers in camp, noting that while public votes gave her confidence in her first appearance, being chosen by fellow campmates meant everything.
