Scarlett Moffatt just missed out on the final, becoming the last person eliminated before the finale following a trial on Thursday, 23 April.
While the main series was pre-recorded in September 2025, the final is being shown live from London. For the first time in this spin-off, viewers will vote to crown the winner.
The series has been characterised by heightened drama, including a fiery confrontation between Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard after Jimmy pulled out of a trial.
Coronation Street star Beverley Callard was compelled to exit the camp earlier in the series on medical grounds; she subsequently revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer after her stint in the jungle.
Other returning legends who appeared this year include Gemma Collins, David Haye, Sinitta, Ashley Roberts, and Seann Walsh.

ITV audiences are now having their say on who should claim victory – with one star appearing to lead the pack, based on social media reaction – Adam Thomas. Following the official I’m A Celebrity Instagram account posting a picture of the final four, one viewer commented: “Adam just got all my votes and will again tomorrow,” while another concurred: “Adam has all my votes he is the king of the jungle.”
A third person echoed: “Adam gets all my votes. Mo is a lovely guy though!”
While a fourth remarked: “Adam should win it, come on!”
A fifth also declared: “Come on Adam!”
Despite considerable backing for Adam, Mo is also a strong contender to claim the crown.
One viewer commented: “If Mo doesn’t win its so unfair. Harry’s already won, Craig has done well but hand’t really been tested as much as the others, and Adam’s only a contender because of pity.”
Another simply stated: “Mo to win,” while a third posted: “TEAM MO! He has been through so much in life and has still came out as one of the loveliest people on the planet!”
Some viewers also complained that it was the ‘wrong four finalists’, with one person stating: “Adam, Gemma, Beverly and Seann were my finalists.”
Another posted: “Scarlett should be there… not Harry.”
While a third added: “Should’ve been Adam, Scarlett, Mo, and Craig for final 4. Sorry not sorry.. Harry was a let down this series.”
The bookies’ favourite to win this series of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa is now Adam Thomas, with current odds of around 4/6 according to bookies. Harry Redknapp is second favourite, with odds of 13/10, followed by Sir Mo Farah (12/1) and Craig Charles (40/1).
