I’m a Celeb South Africa – live: Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo to evict one contestant from main camp

I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here returned to ITV with a twist on Monday (24 April), as a group of memorable campmates from past series arrived for a spin-off show in South Africa to test themselves all over again.

The camp was then rocked by the arrival of Gillian McKeith – an unforgettable contestant from the 2010 season.

In this series, there will be no public vote as the show isn’t live and was all recorded last year. The stars will instead be battling it out between them in the hopes to become the first I’m a Celebrity “Legend”. Find out everything you need to know here.

Hosting duo Ant and Dec returned to the helm as jungle stars from across 20 years of series entered the camp, including boxing champion Amir Khan, Diversity dancer and DJ Jordan Banjo, and former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan. Meet all the contestants here.

Read live updates on all the antics below...

Key points

• Where is it filmed?

• Who are the contestants?

• How did they do the last time they were on the show?

• What happened between Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith?

However, Toff is going to the main camp and, after she arrives, she’ll have to send one back to Myleene and Andy in the other camp.

21:53 , Jacob Stolworthy

I gotta say, out of all the Bushtucker trials I’ve ever watched, this one was pretty good. Toff wins eight stars!

21:49 , Jacob Stolworthy

In case you’re wondering what that looked like...

21:48 , Jacob Stolworthy

OK, that trap door opening up and dropping Toff into water filled with CROCODILES was a jump scare.

21:46 , Jacob Stolworthy

‘Jesus, this is hellish,’ Toff says as she puts her hand in a rat-infested hole...

21:39 , Jacob Stolworthy

In fairness to her, she seems very chipper about entering an underground sewer filled with loads of insects.

21:37 , Jacob Stolworthy

So Toff will be doing the new arrivals’ first Bushtucker trial.

21:22 , Jacob Stolworthy

Now over to a mini-mission for Phil Tuffnell and Carol Vorderman. It feels weird to know this was all pre-recorded last year.

21:19 , Jacob Stolworthy

Te trio are now walking around wondering when they’ll be hit with a trial. Instead, though, they’ve been directed to another camp altogether, away from the other contestants. We’re sure producers have something up their sleeve.

21:12 , Jacob Stolworthy

Former winner Georgia “Toff” Toffolo is back – could she do the double? Time will tell.

21:12 , Jacob Stolworthy

Meanwhile, just three years after last being on the show, Corrie actor Andy Whyment is back. He says he “must be mad” – and I’m inclined to agree with him.

21:11 , Jacob Stolworthy

Myleene Klass is here! She was last on the show in 2006. And yes, she’s already mentioned her famous white bikini.

21:10 , Jacob Stolworthy

Gillian McKeith has issued a toilet lecture while wearing these sunglasses.

21:07 , Jacob Stolworthy

Same goes for this Ant and Dec “banter”.

21:05 , Jacob Stolworthy

It feels weird watching this cringey opening titles in April and not weeks before Christmas... but here we are.

21:04 , Jacob Stolworthy

So in the preview for tonight’s episode, we see new arrivals Myleene, Andy and Toff re-enter the series.

20:56 , Jacob Stolworthy

Just five minutes away from the third episode!

One person who isn’t too happy to see Gillian McKeith again is Shaun Ryder – and this may be why.

We know from our sneak peek that former royal butler Paul Burrell will be discussing the Queen’s bathtime routine, and that three new ex-campmates – musician and presenter Myleene Klass, Corrie star Andy Whyment and TV personality and author Georgia Toffolo – are arriving... but there’s a twist: they will be in a separate location called Savannah Scrub.

I’m a Celebrity South Africa: the review

07:55 , Nicole Vassell

After watching the first episode on Monday (24 April), The Independent’s reviewer Sean O’Grady was not the biggest fan of what he saw.

“Even the breathtaking scenery and thumping incidental music can’t mitigate the sense that everyone’s just going through the motions again,” he wrote.

Why did Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder disagree in the 2010 series?

Wednesday 26 April 2023 00:55 , Nicole Vassell

Though things are rosy between Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder now, there was a time when the pair could never see eye to eye.

During the 2010 series of I’m a Celeb, the pair clashed on several occasions.

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:57 , Nicole Vassell

They have to match the dialling code with the country in order to win treats... by the looks of things, Gillian and Shaun are working together wonderfully.

Laughter and smiles aplenty... could this be the start of a beautiful friendship?

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:54 , Nicole Vassell

Gillian and Shaun must bury the hatchet and work together for today’s challenge – will they be able to put the past behind them?

When was Amir Khan last on I’m a Celeb?

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:52 , Nicole Vassell

Amir Khan’s discussing his retirement from boxing and having 4,000 people at his wedding.

Apparently, he spent £1m on the occasion and even extended an invite to his ice cream man – 99p Flakes all round!

Janice’s flat-out refusal to take part in the latter half of the eating task has had mixed reviews on social media.

While some are asking why the former supermodel returned if she wasn’t going to give everything a go, others were entertained by her sticking to her guns:

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:42 , Nicole Vassell

Stinky tofu and goat’s anus is the final dish up for grabs tonight, but Janice’s mouth is staying closed. “We have five stars, they’ll have to cut it in half.”

At least it’s something!

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:40 , Nicole Vassell

Now it’s “dessert time” and Janice and Jordan are tasked with sharing crocodile anus in chocolate... melted with anus broth. Delicious.

It’s an instant no from Janice though!

So they’re onto the next... cow tongue. And it’s a no once again! “I’m not doing it,” says Janice – and who can blame her?

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:37 , Nicole Vassell

Chicken intestines and ostrich testicles are next on the menu for Jordan... and it goes down a treat. (Well, as much a treat as you can imagine.)

Janice is initially hesitant about eating a lamb testicle, but after some retching... it’s down! Two more stars for camp.

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:35 , Nicole Vassell

“Coq au vag” is Jordan’s next delicacy... use your imagination to work out what animal parts those are. He does it, and gains a star before Janice successfully eats a fish eye. Two more stars down!

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:33 , Nicole Vassell

Next, Janice goes for hartebeest stomach – and she does it! One star in the bag.

“It tastes like something that crawled out of a sewer!” she says.

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:32 , Nicole Vassell

French onion poop is the first meal of the task – but sadly, hairy animal anus won’t go down, as Jordan spits it out.

Who else tried (and failed) to figure out the mental maths equations Phil Tufnell was just throwing out just now?

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:19 , Nicole Vassell

Ahh, the toilet situation. Gillian’s less than impressed: “The long drop, it’s disgusting. The toilet roll is saturated. It’s nauseating.”

Welcome to camp!

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:16 , Nicole Vassell

Oh dear – Shaun’s snoring is keeping his campmates up.

“It sounded like someone who was drowning underwater,” says Fatima Whitbread.

Meanwhile, Phil Tufnell’s woken up “feeling like a banana” because of the hammocks.

When and why did Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder’s disagreements start?

Tuesday 25 April 2023 21:14 , Nicole Vassell

Can you remember how the feud between Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith began?

Picture the scene: it’s winter 2010, and a batch of celebrities are far, far away in an Australian jungle. A TV stool inspector and a “Madchester” musician meet, and for some reason just cannot see eye-to-eye...

Here’s the recap in full:

Why didn’t Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder get along?

Tuesday 25 April 2023 19:50 , Nicole Vassell

Gillian McKeith’s sudden entry into the IAC camp meant a reunion between the TV presenter and Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder.

They both appeared in the 2010 season of the show and infamously clashed on several occasions.

Here’s a refresher on all that went down between the pair more than a decade ago.

Gillian McKeith entered as a surprise contestant at the end of Day 1 in the jungle (Monday 24 April).

Fans of the show pointed out the TV presenter’s special hairstyle for the occasion: individual braids under her camp uniform hat.

However, it’s not simply a style preference – McKeith spoke out about her plaits in a recent interview, and how they were inspired by her previous time on I’m a Celebrity.

When was Fatima Whitbread on I’m a Celebrity before?

Tuesday 25 April 2023 18:10 , Nicole Vassell

Former javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread experienced a nightmarish scenario with a cockroach during her first stint on I’m a Celebrity.

During a Bushtucker trial, the bug crept up Whitbread’s nostril and had to be removed by a member of the medical crew.

It remains one of the show’s most memorable moments – but when did it take place?

Life in camp kicked off with a big surprise last night, with Gillian McKeith being delivered in a literal box.

Tonight, we’ll see her greeting the stars... and Shaun Ryder’s not happy.

“Gillian came out of a box,” he says in the Bush Telegraph. “I was very surprised. I probably could have done without it being Gillian, yeah.”

McKeith, meanwhile, adds: “How do I feel about Shaun Ryder being here? I said hello, he said hello, it was all very cordial. What can I say?”

In camp, Burrell asks Ryder about his last experience of being in camp with her: “Is she as mad as a box of frogs?”

Ryder replies: “Yeah… I nearly killed her.”

Back in the Bush Telegraph, Ryder says: “I’ve been trying to be nice to her. I’m a different person, whatever. I don’t think Gillian was pleased to see me.”

Tuesday 25 April 2023 00:05 , Isobel Lewis

Wondering how the contestants are spending their first night in camp this eve? Easy: they’re not.

Rather than playing out in real time with live segments, as happens with the normal series, I’m a Celebrity South Africa was filmed in September.

What happened between Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith on I’m a Celebrity 2010?

Monday 24 April 2023 22:36 , Isobel Lewis

It’s fair to say Shaun wasn’t too happy to see Gillian carried into camp, describing her in the preview as being “as mad as a box of frogs”.

Here’s what went down when the pair were on I’m a Celebrity together in 2010...

Monday 24 April 2023 22:31 , Isobel Lewis

Ant and Dec are going up high to watch the surprise, which comes in the form of a box.

It’s “Jungle Gill” – Gillian McKeith! Everyone, prepare to faint!

Monday 24 April 2023 22:29 , Isobel Lewis

Ant and Dec tease the first surprise is on its way, but what could it be?

Monday 24 April 2023 22:28 , Isobel Lewis

We’re learning how this series is going to be different. The campmates are competing against each other for the right to remain in the camp.

Monday 24 April 2023 22:27 , Isobel Lewis

Ant and Dec have arrived in camp for the first time, with Janice embracing the presenters with the words: “My boyfriends!”

“It’s like the weirdest school reunion I’ve ever been to,” Ant jokes, as he introduces them to the “bigger” camp.

Monday 24 April 2023 22:22 , Isobel Lewis

“Seems like a really good mix of people. They don’t seem to be, erm, knobheads.”

Another great Shaun-ism.

Monday 24 April 2023 22:18 , Isobel Lewis

Janice is asking everyone why they’re famous, but the question: “What are you in for?” definitely seems better suited to prison than I’m a Celebrity...

Monday 24 April 2023 22:17 , Isobel Lewis

Group two arrive. Shaun clarifies that he’s not just “some t***” wearing sunglasses at night, but rather doesn’t have any eyelashes so he needs them to keep the dust out of his eyes.

They’re assigning chores. “What’s a chore?” Janice asks. “It’s the thing the servants do,” says Paul.

Monday 24 April 2023 22:16 , Isobel Lewis

The shack where the campmates do their talking heads is certainly looking a lot fancier, and Carol insist this camp is “posher” than the last one.

That is, until they see the toilet, which doesn’t have any walls. Yikes...

Monday 24 April 2023 22:13 , Isobel Lewis

And we’re finally heading to camp! Amir, Carol and Jordan are in first, and get first dibs on which beds they want.

Monday 24 April 2023 22:06 , Isobel Lewis

Helen can’t believe she’s made it to the last one, giving her the chance to do her leap of faith and get the star.

That is, after counting all the way to 30, of course. She jumps, but just misses. Meaning group three are severely lacking when it comes to stars.

Monday 24 April 2023 22:03 , Isobel Lewis

Fatima has linked the balls together, which should make it easier, but Phil narrowly misses out too.

Helen has a “little wobble”, but gets up top and gives it a go, even apologising for taking a long time to get started.

“Calm your mind,” she tells herself. “You are so safe. You are calm. You can do this.”
