I'm A Celeb South Africa 2026 Filming Details Revealed
Fans of the hit reality show I'm A Celebrity... South Africa have been treated to a star-studded cast and intense trials, but many have noticed significant changes this season. Unlike the usual format, hosts Ant and Dec do not appear live in the jungle, there is no voting, and no live eliminations. This is because the South Africa version was entirely pre-recorded, sparking curiosity about when the filming took place.
When Was I'm A Celeb South Africa 2026 Filmed?
Filming for I'm A Celebrity South Africa 2026 occurred in September of the previous year at Kruger National Park. This means all the camp action, including feuds and conversations, had already concluded before the show aired on television. The pre-recorded nature explains the absence of live elements that viewers typically expect from the series.
Live Final Twist in London
In a major twist, the show will feature a live final filmed in London, where one contestant will be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle through a public vote. Details remain unclear on whether the entire cast or a selected group will participate in this final. Contestant Craig Charles hinted at a smaller group when asked about potential winners, stating, "I can't really say because I can't say who's in the final or anything, can I?"
Contestant Predictions for the Winner
Other contestants have been more open about their predictions. Sinitta expressed confidence in Sir Mo Farah, saying, "I think that Mo would win the vote. We all loved Mo. At the time in there we were all like speculating." Scarlett Moffatt echoed this sentiment, adding, "Sir Mo Farah is the one." These comments suggest strong support for Sir Mo Farah among the cast.
The pre-recorded format of I'm A Celebrity South Africa 2026 offers a unique viewing experience, blending pre-filmed jungle drama with the excitement of a live finale. As fans tune in, they can enjoy the action knowing the bulk of the show was captured in Kruger National Park last year, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion in London.
