I'm a Celebrity confirms finale date with special feature-length episode

I'm a Celebrity has only just returned to our screens and we already have a confirmed finale date.

The hit ITV reality show arrived on our screens once more on November 19 with 10 brand new celebs settling into camp life and taking on their first challenges.

Politician Nigel Farage, Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn Spears, First Dates' Fred Sirieix, and social media star Nella Rose are among this year's campmates, and they've already had some confrontation.

While they may have only just arrived, a finale date for I'm a Celebrity 2023 has been confirmed, in which the next King or Queen of the Jungle will be crowned.

A special feature-length episode will mark the end of the season on December 10, kicking off at 9pm on ITV1 and concluding at 10.40pm.

By this point, the celebrity campmates will have been whittled down to a final three following weeks of eliminations and Bushtucker Trials, with 2022's trio including winner and Lionesses icon Jill Scott, former UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock, and Hollyoaks star Owen Warner.

This series has already had its fair share of surprises, including two latecomers to the jungle. Famed jockey Frankie Dettori and former professional boxer Tony Bellew will be making their way into the jungle, as confirmed in last night's (November 22) episode.

Neither are strangers to reality TV, with Dettori appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2013, while Bellew starred in 2020's edition of Celebrity MasterChef.

Elsewhere in last night's episode, Spears made sure that none of her campmates went hungry as she won all ten stars during her Bushtucker Trial. The terrifying task, titled Climb of Cruelty, saw the singer and actress climb 100 feet in the air to collect the stars, leaving her ecstatic when she did so well.

"I'm really, really happy that I get to come back and bring them the joyous 10 stars," she said.

I'm a Celebrity… airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
