I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here has wasted no time in delivering the goods.
This year’s series has been entertaining fans from day dot, with stars including rapping Royal Family member Mike Tindall and 80s pop star Boy George tackling the jungle.
All the campmates have been put to the test – with controversial campmate Matt Hancock rising to the challenge for his Bushtucker Trials, and also being grilled by fellow campmates.
Eliminations are now underway, which is starting to rock the camp – as the public votes for their favourites to remain in camp.
But when is I’m A Celebrity next on, who’s still in the jungle, and where exactly Down Under is the show filmed?
Here’s all you need to know.
When is I’m A Celebrity next on?
I’m A Celebrity continues tonight (Monday, November 21) on ITV at 9.15pm.
This is 15 minutes later than its usual start time of 9pm.
Those who miss out on the jungle action will be able to catch up on ITV Hub once the episode has aired.
Tonight’s show lasts for a little longer than usual at one hour, 15 minutes, finishing at 10.30pm.
Beforehand, ITV is showing wall-to-wall FIFA World Cup 2022 coverage from 3pm.
When did I’m A Celebrity 2022 start?
The 22nd series of I’m A Celebrity officially kicked off Sunday, November 6 at 9pm.
That’s a little earlier than usual, being moved so to not clash too much with the World Cup.
Who is in the I’m A Celebrity 2022 line-up?
I’m A Celebrity 2022 lineup
Still in the jungle are:
- Mike Tindall – Royal Family member, married to The King’s niece Zara, and former rugby player
- Boy George – 80s pop star
- Chris Moyles – Radio X DJ and former BBC Radio 1 presenter
- Jill Scott – former England Lioness
- Sue Cleaver – Coronation Street actor
- Owen Warner – Hollyoaks actor
- Babatunde Aléshé – comedian
- Matt Hancock – politician
- Seann Walsh – comedian
With the following campmates now out of the jungle:
- Olivia Attwood – former Love Island cast member, who left the jungle for medical reasons
- Charlene White – Loose Women presenter and ITV newsreader, who was the first cast member eliminated
- Scarlette Douglas – A Place In The Sun presenter, who was the second cast member eliminated
This impressive line-up features many firsts for the hit ITV programme, which began airing two decades ago in 2002.
Olivia Attwood was the first Love Islander to grace the I’m A Celebrity jungle – though sadly was forced to quit the show after 24 hours, when routine blood tests revealed she was ‘dangerously anaemic’.
Mike Tindall – Princess Anne’s son-in-law – is the first Royal Family member to take part.
Another top signing for the series was music legend Boy George, who reportedly secured the show’s biggest-ever payday of $1 million (£879,000) to become a campmate.
Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock headed into the jungle as a late arrival, along with comedian Seann Walsh – although Hancock’s appearance on the show has caused a fierce backlash.
Celebrities hit out at the news and a petition was launched by Covid-19 Bereaved Families for him to be axed.
However the politician – who has had the Tory whip suspended for the move – has defended his actions.
He said: ‘Where better to show the human side of those who make these decisions than with the most-watched programme on TV?
‘There are many ways to communicate. It’s one of the many important things I learnt during the pandemic.’
In a piece for The Sun, he added: ‘It’s as clear as day that politicians like me must go to where the people are, particularly those who are politically disengaged. We must wake up and embrace popular culture.’
Where is I’m A Celebrity 2022 filmed?
After two years at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales, the series has returned to its usual setting in the Australian jungle.
ITV confirmed in August the show would take place in Australia, saying: ‘Returning to its home in Australia after a two-year break, our celebrities will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind as they spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created for them.’
Typically, the show’s famous camp is set up in Springbrook National Park, which is located in New South Wales, a state in the country’s south-east.
The return to Oz wasn’t without its issues, though, as prior to the start of the series, the set was forced to close due to adverse weather causing severe flooding.
A spokeswoman said: ‘We closed site for 24 hours as a precautionary measure due to the inclement weather.’
Who is presenting I’m A Celebrity 2022?
The nation’s favourite Geordie duo, Ant and Dec, are once again hosting the ITV reality show.
Host Ant previously fuelled hope that I’m A Celebrity would be able to return to Australia during an appearance on The One Show in February.
‘Well, the plan is the jungle, so if all things…,’ to which Dec chimed in: ‘Nothing against Wales!’
Ant then added: ‘We love Wales but you know, Australia is its home and we’d like to get back there if we can.’
When will I’m A Celebrity 2022 end?
Given that I’m A Celebrity began on November 6 and there are 22 episodes in the season, viewers can expect the show to finish on Sunday, November 27.
On this day, one celebrity will be crowned either King or Queen of the Jungle.
Who won I’m A Celebrity 2021?
The 2021 series of the show was won by former Emmerdale star Danny Miller.
The actor, best known as the ITV soap’s Aaron Dingle, took the prize after fighting off competition from Corrie’s Simon Gregson and The Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge.
Danny, who entered camp just weeks after the birth of his son, said of his victory: ‘I have made no secret about the fact that I wanted to be able to give him and set him up for a good future.
‘I wasn’t financially set for that and this is an opportunity to do that. It would set me and my family up. I feel like I have done it. I feel proud of myself and I hope my family are as well.’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2022 continues on ITV tonight at 9.15pm.
