I’m A Celebrity South Africa Spin-Off
I’m A Celebrity South Africa won’t be returning for a second series despite being a ratings success. The special spin-off saw favorite celebrities from the main ITV show, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here heading to South Africa to compete in an all-stars version, with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly at the helm.
Competition and Winner
Myleene Klass was eventually crowned the ultimate ‘legend’ after beating campmates including Helen Flanagan, Joe Swash, and Jordan Banjo. In the final face-off between Myleene and Jordan, they had to tackle a disgusting eating trial with items like fermented eggs, pig snouts, chicken intestines, mice tails, and stinky tofu.
Format and Voting
While the episodes in the traditional annual show filmed in Australia are live and show highlights from the past 24 hours, the spin-off was pre-recorded. This meant that instead of the public voting for who leaves, and choosing the person who eventually wins, it was all determined by trials.
Series Details
Last year, fans of I’m A Celebrity got two series of the popular show that began in 2002, but it has now been confirmed it was a one-off to mark a special anniversary. An ITV spokesperson mentioned that the series was one of the biggest Entertainment shows of the year.
Future Possibilities
This means we’ll have to wait until November to tune into the 24th series and see who Sam Thompson will be passing his floral crown to, but perhaps their use of ‘this year’ spells hope it could possibly back in the future. Ant and Dec previously hinted that it could return during an Instagram live session.
Charity and Donations
After winning the show filmed in Kruger National Park, Myleene donated the full £100,000 prize money to Save The Children UK. She mentioned that the experience was worth it for the charity.
Full Line-Up
The full line-up also included Carol Vorderman, Paul Burrell, Dean Gaffney, Janice Dickinson, Andy Whyment, Georgia Toffolo, Amir Khan, Gillian McKeith, and Shaun Ryder.
