I'm A Celebrity All Stars Trailer Unleashes Jungle Mayhem and Historic Public Vote
A gripping three-minute trailer for the highly anticipated I'm A Celebrity All Stars series debuted on Monday, offering fans an electrifying preview of the chaos awaiting in the South African wilderness. This second instalment of the ITV spin-off, featuring some of the show's most unforgettable campmates, is scheduled to premiere on Monday, April 6. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will guide the returning stars through what promises to be the most formidable trials in the franchise's storied history.
Trailer Highlights Intense Trials and Emotional Moments
The newly released footage captures iconic personalities such as Gemma Collins, Harry Redknapp, and David Haye confronting a series of harrowing challenges. Former TOWIE star Gemma Collins, 45, is seen in tears, exclaiming 'it feels like you're trying to kill me' during a Bush Telegraph segment after an arduous day. In another shocking scene, David Haye, 45, inadvertently flashes his bum in the shower, prompting Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts to scream: 'What a lovely morning surprise!'
The trials appear exceptionally gruelling this year, with Olympic champion Mo Farah shown screaming as he is dropped into camp from a helicopter. Actor Craig Charles, 61, complains of nausea while being spun in a trial contraption before vomiting, and Harry Redknapp, 79, endures a revolting eating trial where something pops from his mouth. The trailer also features Sinitta getting uncomfortably close to snakes, adding to the visceral tension.
Public to Crown Ultimate Legend in Live Final
In a groundbreaking twist, viewers will for the first time have the authority to determine who is crowned the ultimate legend of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa 2026. After observing the celebrities navigate camp life, the audience will cast the final vote during a live grand final broadcast directly from London. Ant McPartlin explained: 'We'll bring the whole cast back and have the finalists live in the studio and it'll be a live vote like we do in Australia and the public will decide their legend!' Dec Donnelly added that this marks a significant departure, as previous editions were pre-recorded, denying the public a say.
Ant and Dec Tease Record-Breaking Challenges and Increased Drama
At a star-studded launch event, Ant and Dec, both 50, hinted at unprecedented levels of excitement. Ant revealed: 'The trials are physically bigger, and they are tougher than we have seen before because we have to really test them... we have made it tougher than ever.' He described trials including a massive balancing board on a cliff edge and a full-size train set, while Dec mentioned a 140ft-high head-to-head challenge and a 50ft game of Snakes & Ladders, alongside the usual array of creepy crawlies and animal genitalia.
Dec also highlighted a record-breaking five-hour eating trial, noting: 'Two of the campmates were sitting in the bleachers at the back who weren't involved in the trial, but they were watching, and they were falling asleep.' He emphasised that the upcoming series will feature more 'drama and arguments' than ever, making it a must-watch event.
Returning Campmates and Broadcast Details
The spin-off series first launched three years ago with participants like Helen Flanagan, Joe Swash, and Shaun Ryder, ultimately crowning Myleene Klass as the winner, followed by Jordan Banjo and Fatima Whitbread. The 2026 lineup includes a diverse mix of celebrities, such as reality star Scarlett Moffatt, comedian Seann Walsh, and popstar Sinitta, each bringing their unique fears and strengths to the jungle.
I'm A Celebrity... South Africa begins on Monday, April 6, at 9pm on ITV1, airing every weeknight from Monday to Friday. This edition promises to blend nostalgia with fresh excitement, as beloved faces reunite under the harshest conditions yet, all while putting their fate in the hands of the viewing public.
