Everything you need to know about the new series 1")
On Monday, April 24, I’m A Celebrity will return, but not as we know it.
The ITV programme is often recorded in Australia, where there is an 11-hour time difference, but this particular episode is being shot in South Africa’s untamed Kruger National Park.
The series, which is teeming with wildlife and now stars, will feature the traditional creepy-crawly “bushtucker” challenges, but they will take place in the untamed Southern African wilderness.
This series is reportedly going to be the most “brutal” ever, according to rumours that have been circulating in the bush.
The ensemble will undoubtedly face some really challenging challenges in 2023, even if we’re confident they won’t have to undergo a cage battle with a lion.
On Monday, April 24, I’m A Celebrity returns, but it won’t be the same.
This episode of the ITV show is being recorded in South Africa’s untamed Kruger National Park instead of Australia, where it is typically filmed with an 11-hour time difference.
The series, which is teeming with animals and now stars, will feature the traditional creepy-crawly “bushtucker” trials, but they will take place in the untamed areas of Southern Africa.
This season is rumoured to be the most “brutal” ever, to use the bush-speak for “on the street.”
While we’re confident that the actors won’t have to face a battle in a cage with a lion in 2023, there will undoubtedly be some really difficult jobs ahead.
Is I’m A Celebrity South Africa live?
It is not live; no. This year, all the action was pre-recorded so that spectators could see the drama without missing a beat.
The reason for the different structure this time is unclear, and it is also unknown how candidates will be eliminated from the competition in the absence of a live vote.
When was it filmed?
Summer 2017 saw the filming of I’m A Celebrity South Africa.
The series will air every night at 9 p.m., for around three weeks.
Where was it filmed?
The Kruger National Park in South Africa, known for having an enormous density of species, is where the series was shot.
The ‘big five’ – lion, buffalo, leopard, rhinoceros, and elephant – have exceptionally dense populations.
Filming for I’m A Celebrity international editions has also taken place in this area.
Who is in the lineup?
Amir Khan, Shaun Ryder, Carol Vorderman, Jordan Banjo, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell, Helen Flanagan, Fatima Whitbread, and Janice Dickinson are among the lineup’s performers.
Other candidates anticipated to appear later in the season include Myleene Klass, Georgia Toffolo, Dean Gaffney, Joe Swash, Andy Whyment, and Gillian McKeith.
