I'm a Celebrity... South Africa is an ITV reality television series, with the premise being an All Star edition of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! featuring campmates from previous series.[1] [2] The series aired between 24 April and 12 May 2023.[3] Ant & Dec presented the series.[4]
On 12 May 2023, series 6 runner-up Myleene Klass was crowned winner of the series after defeating series 16 campmate Jordan Banjo in the final survival trial, who ultimately finished as runner-up.[5]
In April 2022, several news outlets reported that ITV had commissioned an "All-Stars" spin-off series of the show to be pre-recorded in South Africa, featuring former campmates that had competed in the series.[6] ITV later confirmed the reports in September 2022, with filming beginning the same month and was completed prior to the beginning of the twenty-second regular series.[7] [8]
The original line-up was announced on 25 March 2023.[9] [10] [11] Gillian McKeith entered the camp on the evening of Day 1.[12] Andy Whyment, Georgia "Toff" Toffolo and Myleene Klass entered on Day 3.[13] Dean Gaffney and Joe Swash entered on Day 7.[14] On 15 April, over a week prior to the show's launch, it was announced that Janice Dickinson had suffered a head injury while filming the pre-recorded series, and had to be taken to hospital. She was later forced to withdraw from the show due to her injuries in scenes that aired on 8 May.[15]

As well as competing in the trials, celebrities have to complete 'Chest Challenges' to earn treats for the camp. At least two celebrities are chosen to compete in the challenge. These are often mental challenges, rather than challenges including critters. They must complete the challenge to be been given a key to the treasure chest. After completion of the challenge, the celebrities will take the treasure chest back to camp, where they and the other celebrities must answer a question. If they get the question right, the chest will open and they will earn the treat, but if they get it wrong, the chest won't open.[19]
