I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa is back for its second series, welcoming back past stars to once again take on various challenges.
The second series of the Australian spin-off began on Monday (March 6).
The 12 returning celebrities are now facing weeks of trials in South Africa, as they compete to be crowned the “ultimate legend 2026”.
How does voting work on I'm a Celeb South Africa 2026?
As in the regular version, the programme is presented by Ant and Dec, but is not live.
The first series aired in 2023 and was won by series six runner-up Myleene Klass.
Klass was crowned winner after defeating series 16 campmate Jordan Banjo in the final survival trial.
In a big difference from the main series, the public does not vote to eliminate the celebrities.
The campmates will choose who to bid farewell to after challenges are completed.
However, a format change for the new series will see this year's final broadcast live from the UK, and, unlike the first series, the public will choose the winner.
Dec said: "Myleene Klass won it in South Africa last time, doing the best final head-to-head, Bushtucker trial thing we've ever seen.
"So we thought we want to leave it up to the public, but to get to that point, to be a finalist, we've made it tougher than ever."
The second series of the South Africa spin-off this year will also see a pre-recorded podcast, I'm a Celebrity: Unpacked, air to accompany the show, hosted by Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
A live episode of I'm a Celebrity: Unpacked will also broadcast on ITV2 following the main programme's live final.
