I’M A Celeb All Stars is back on our screens, with the show’s second instalment set to be even tougher than the regular series.
Here’s everything you need to know about the latest series of the celeb survival spectacular set in the South African jungle.
When does I’m A Celebrity All Stars 2026 start?
In December 2025, AngryGinge was crowned King of the Jungle in the regular series.
Days later Ant and Dec posted a montage of behind-the-scenes clips on social media, with a caption teasing the spring release date of the second season of I’m A Celeb All Stars.
Then in the first sneak peek trailer, Ant said the All Star challenges were “quite a lot harder” than those found in the regular series.
The clip also revealed that this year’s celebs will be jumping out of planes, rock climbing, and taking on a mid-air agility race course.
