I’m A Celebrity ‘All Stars’ major format change revealed ahead of new ITV series starting
and live on Freeview channel 276
I’m A Celebrity fans have been dealt with another surprise twist ahead of the ITV reality show making a comeback to our screens next week, Monday, April 24.
This time round, viewers won’t vote to crown their king or queen of the jungle, as instead, celebrity contestants will battle it out to remain in camp to be named the show’s first “I’m A Celebrity legend.”

The brand new spin-off series, taking place in South Africa, returns with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, as they see contestants through “brutal” and “unforgiving” Bushtucker trials.
The line-up of celebrities includes former Coronation Street actress Helen Flannagan, Happy Mondays Singer Shaun Ryder and boxer Amir Khan.
Last week, it was revealed that six new stars would be joining the show as latecomers.
