I’m A Celebrity in South Africa in 2023

Earlier today saw Ant and Dec make an exciting announcement about I’m A Celebrity.

The pair made the announcement in a short video which they posted for their 4.7 million followers to see.

In the video, Ant and Dec stand as close to the camera as possible, hiding the view behind them.

“We’ve got news, it’s probably the worst kept secret in television, but we are doing a very special series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in South Africa!” Dec said.

Dec then spun the camera around to show off the picturesque mountain view behind them.

“It’s going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years who are going back in to do it one more time,” Dec then said.

“But are we going to Australia, Declan?” Ant asked. “Yes, we are,” Dec replied.

“This year, we’ll be in Australia. Australia, 2022, South Africa, 2023,” Dec confirmed.

I’m A Celebrity returns to Australia

Over the last couple of years, I’m A Celebrity has been filmed in Gwrych Castle, North Wales.

This was due to Covid restrictions preventing the show from being filmed in Australia.

However, now restrictions have lifted, the show will be returning to Oz for the first time since 2019.

In 2020, in the first series filmed outside of Australia, Giovanna Fletcher won the show. Last year’s show, which again was filmed in Wales, was won by Emmerdale star Danny Miller.

Ant and Dec previously hinted at an All-Stars series of the show as far back as May.

During an interview on This Morning, Ant let slip that an All-Stars edition was in the works.

“It’s a spin-off from the main show. We’ve got ex-campmates coming together in South Africa competing in challenges and trials,” he said.

“Should I keep talking?” he asked, turning to Dec.

“I don’t you think you should! I think it’s a secret!” Dec replied.
