ITV viewers were thrilled when I’m A Celebrity South Africa returned to screens as former stars of the show compete to become the ultimate legend.
The series, which kicked off on April 6, saw the likes of Adam Thomas, Sinitta, Seann Walsh, David Haye, Beverley Callard, Mo Farrah and Scarlett Moffatt head back to the jungle.
Since their South Africa debut, fans have seen some of the stars embark on gruesome and terrifying challenges, as Seann and Sinitta had a close call with snakes, while Craig Charles and Gemma Collins had the first eating trial of the series.
Although the programme is pre-recorded, ITV fans will be able to cast the final vote in a live grand final, which will be broadcast directly from London.
However, there’s bad news for fans as the final is set to be divided into two halves, according to TVZone.

The two-part finale is reported to air on Friday, April 24, at 7:30pm and will finish at 9pm. It’ll then return at 10pm and will run for half an hour for the winner’s announcement.

Although fans still have a while to wait until they crown their jungle legend, there’s set to be more tension, tears and trials along the way.
In a preview for tonight’s episode (April 9) viewers are set to see things take an awkward turn between two campmates as Sinitta speaks to Gemma about not starring in Chicago.

As Sinitta asks: “But what happened with Chicago? You were supposed to follow me as Mama Morton.”
Gemma explained she had a terrible injury, which meant she didn’t star in the show as originally planned.
However, Sinitta issued a brutal remark as she replied: “I’m sorry, but I’m going to admit it, when I heard you were going to do it, I thought it was a joke announcement.
“I think you’d just presented something at an awards show and fell off the stage. It was like you were more of a comedian.”
Clearly unimpressed, Gemma wanted to know why she thought it was a joke, highlighting that she had undergone the audition process as normal.

Ahead of their return to the jungle, Gemma has been determined to change perspectives on her, following her 72-hour stint in 2014.
Before entering, she said: “There is no way I am going to be leaving after 72 hours. I am in it to win it. I am going through to the end.
“Last time, there were no highlights for me. But I wasn’t the strong, assertive woman I am today, and I’ve got a totally different mindset.”
