I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returned for its seventeenth series on 19 November 2017[1] on ITV. The series is the third in a three-year contract, as confirmed by Ant & Dec at the end of the Coming Out show in December 2016.

In October 2017, it was confirmed that Ant & Dec would return to host the series, despite rumours suggesting that the pair would not be present due to Ant's admittance to rehab earlier in the year for drugs and alcohol addiction.[2] [3]

Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo won the series on 10 December 2017,[4] with Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas finishing runner up, and broadcaster Iain Lee finishing third. This was the first time in the show's history that women won three consecutive series.[5] Professional boxer Amir Khan also became the highest-paid contestant in the history of the show, beating the previous £400,000 record held by Katie Price in series 9.[6] [7]

Three days into the series, Jack Maynard was removed from the jungle after offensive messages on Twitter were discovered.

Toff and Khan would return to the series six years later to participate in I'm a Celebrity... South Africa alongside other former contestants to try to become the first I'm a Celebrity legend. Khan became the third celebrity to be eliminated. Toff was next to be eliminated alongside series 19 contestant Andy Whyment.

Teaser

The first teaser trailer was released on 1 November 2017. The trailer featured a jungle and horizon, with Ant & Dec shouting "Let's Get Ready to Jungle". A series of "countdown" trailers were released from 6 November 2017.[8]

Celebrities

The cast was confirmed on 13 November 2017.[9] On 21 November, Iain Lee and Kezia Dugdale were confirmed as late entrances to the series.[10] [11]

Bushtucker trials

The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food.[12] These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. The winner is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates. As with the previous three years the public voted for who took part in the trials via the I'm a Celebrity... app, from iOS and Android devices.

The public voted for who they wanted to face the trial

The contestants decided who would face the trial

The trial was compulsory and neither the public nor celebrities decided who took part

Notes

Iain and Kez were competing to become Jungle Prime Minister and have the best camp.

Iain chose Vanessa to compete against Amir in the trial.

After winning the trial, Ant and Dec announced that Amir had won 2 care packages for camp.

This trial was originally attempted by Iain, but it was decided for it to be re-attempted by Dennis.

Jamie was playing for 8 stars with the 8th star being a drink for the campmates.

Dingo Dollar challenges

Member(s) from camp will take part in the challenge to win 'Dingo Dollars'. If they win them, then they can then take the dollars to the 'Outback Shack', where they can exchange them, for camp luxuries with Kiosk Keith. Two options are given, and the celebrities can choose which they would like to win. However, to win their luxury, a question is asked to the celebrities still in camp via the telephone box. It is often joked that Ant & Dec make up these questions and their answers. If the question is answered correctly, the celebrities can take the items back to camp. If wrong, they receive nothing and Kiosk Keith will close the shack, and the celebrities will leave empty handed.

The celebrities got the question correct
