I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has announced the line-up for the new season of all-stars series I’m a Celebrity… South Africa. There are plenty of familiar faces, including soap stars, pop stars, multiple winners, and The GC herself.
Like the previous all-stars season, the show sees the campmates jet off to the South African wilderness, and has been pre-recorded months in advance rather than being a mix of live broadcast and highlights from the last 24 hours. Oh, and Ant & Dec are hosting, of course.
So without further ado, let’s see who is taking part this time.

We’ve got: Waterloo Road and Emmerdale star Adam Thomas (third place in 2016), Pussycat Dolls star turned presenter Ashley Roberts (runner-up in 2012), and Gogglebox star and former Extra Camp host Scarlett Moffatt (2016 season winner).
There’s also former boxer David Haye (third place in 2012), Coronation Street‘s Beverley Callard (ninth place in 2020), comedian Seann Walsh (fifth place in 2022), ’80s popstar and Simon Cowell’s BBF Sinitta (11th place in 2011), and Olympic legend Sir Mo Farah (fifth place, 2020).
Rounding out the line-up is the one and only Gemma Collins, and Red Dwarf and Coronation Street actor Craig Charles (both withdrew from the 2014 season), former footballer Jimmy Bullard (eliminated first in 2014), and football manager Harry Redknapp (the 2018 winner).
So we’ve got a few people looking to defend their crowns, a few who came incredibly close, and a handful who completely crashed and burned, which could make for a competitive group.

ITV are teasing that “the trials are tougher than ever and the stakes couldn’t be higher” in this season, while with “big decisions come even bigger consequences”.
Although this show is pre-recorded as before, there is one big change from the previous South Africa season: the finale will be live and viewers will get the ultimate deciding vote.
I’m a Celebrity… South Africa season 2 premieres on April on ITV1 and ITVX, with I’m a Celebrity… Unpacked airing afterwards on ITV2 and ITVX, hosted by Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
