I'm a Celebrity All Stars is returning for another series, Yahoo understands.
The ITV show is a spin-off from the main franchise I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here that is filmed Down Under every year with Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly at the helm. It is an all-stars version where celebrities who have been on the main show return to have a second chance at their jungle experience, this time in South Africa.
Yahoo understands that the I'm a Celebrity spin-off will be filmed later this year. The I'm a Celebrity All Stars started two years ago and it attracted an audience of more than five million viewers across its run. This compares to the original series that averaged at seven million viewers for the 2024 run.
The I'm a Celebrity franchise has been a hit since it first started filming Down Under in 2002. There is a series every year but there isn't time to film an all-stars version annually.
Cheeky hosts Ant and Dec have their scheduled freed-up slightly this year after choosing to rest their Saturday Night Takeaway show. The Geordie duo, who will be back on our screens soon for Britain's Got Talent, wanted to focus on their young families, especially with Ant McPartlin becoming a dad for the first time last year.
It's too early to say when the I'm a Celebrity spin-off will be on our screens, although it will be shot later this year.
Additionally it's not known who will be cast for the South African jungle experience. Rumours of the I'm a Celebrity line-up is always leaked in advance of the show hitting our screens and it gets everyone talking about the show.
However, the big names are kept a secret until just weeks before the show is set to air on TV.
Myleene Klass won the first ever I'm a Celebrity legends spin off that aired in 2023, having originally come second to Matt Willis when she appeared on the main show in 2006. Kind-hearted mum Klass donated her £100,000 winning fee to Save The Children.
Famous faces Carol Vorderman, Helen Flanagan, Jordan Banjo, Shaun Ryder, Phil Tufnell, Carol Vorderman, Paul Burrell, Amir Khan, Janice Dickinson and Fatima Whitbread all returned for the South African series.
I'm A Celebrity producers were rattled over Klass's incredible Bushtucker trial where she swallowed 40 spoons of fermented tofu. She told Yahoo: "I was thinking, 'They're not gonna kill me because somewhere in the world someone's done this' but it turns out no one in the world had done this before."
"I spoke to Ant and Dec on the plane on the way back," she said. "And they actually said, 'When you said you were gonna do all 40, the producers were like it's not going to happen.' And they said, 'The producers started coming out from the tent halfway through where they were watching the monitors to actually see this with their own eyes, because they were like: 'No!'
"I'm like, 'God, I have no idea that this is all going on behind the scenes.' I was thinking, 'They're not gonna kill me because somewhere in the world someone's done this', but it turns out no one in the world had done this before.
"Ant and Dec said, 'You were a machine. What were you doing?' And I said, 'I just thought that somebody must have done 40, you wouldn't have given me 40!' They were like: 'No, no.' And the games leader said no one had got past seven. I thought, 'Jesus, I did seven in the first minute!' I have never felt so sick in my life."
