I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (occasionally shortened to I'm a Celebrity) is an Australian reality television series on Network 10 which is based on the British television show of the same name. [1] The series airs on Network 10 and is simulcast on its HD channel 10 HD. The series sees celebrities living in the jungle with few creature comforts, and competing in various challenges to earn meals and other luxuries. The celebrities compete for $100,000 to be donated to their chosen charity. The series is set in Kruger National Park, South Africa, [2] and is hosted by Julia Morris and Robert Irwin. [3] Until 2023, it was hosted by Morris and Chris Brown. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Contents

On 16 July 2015, the series was renewed for a second season, [7] which premiered on 31 January 2016. [8] The second season was accompanied by the companion series I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Now! (similar to the original British series). It aired on Eleven (now 10 Peach) following each episode of the main series, hosted by comedian and former season one contestant Joel Creasey and The Bachelor Australia 3 contestant Heather Maltman. [9] I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Now! did not air after the main show in later seasons due to low viewing rates. On 1 August 2016 the series was renewed for a third season with Morris and Brown returning as hosts, [10] which premiered on 29 January 2017. A fourth season commenced on 28 January 2018 and concluded 12 March 2018.

A fifth season was announced and premiered on 13 January 2019. The show aired over a four-week period instead of the previous six week period. [11] In addition to the normal show, an hour-long companion series called I'm A Celebrity: 'Saturday Schoolies' aired on Saturdays at 7 pm, hosted by Scott Tweedie, and involved the celebrities completing different tasks and assignments in order to win the 'golden lunchbox'. On 7 February 2019, it was confirmed the show would return for a sixth season, [12] [13] which premiered on 5 January 2020. [14] [15]

In May 2020, Network 10 renewed the series for a seventh season [16] [17] and in August 2020 they confirmed that it would continue to air in 2021 despite the COVID-19 pandemic. [18] However, it was unclear whether the series will be able to film in South Africa or change to another production location. [19] In November 2020, it was confirmed the series will be filmed in Australia at a site near Murwillumbah, New South Wales (the site used for many international versions of the show), which premiered on 3 January 2021. [20] [21]

The series' eighth season was announced in August 2021 [22] and premiered on 3 January 2022, [23] whilst a ninth season was renewed in October 2022 [24] and premiered on 2 April 2023. [25]

In February 2023, it was announced Brown had signed with Seven Network and would be leaving Network 10 in July 2023 after his final hosting duties of the 2023 season. [4] [5] [6] In September 2023, it was rumoured Robert Irwin, son of Steve Irwin, would be Brown's replacement as host in 2024. [26] [27] In October 2023, Network 10 confirmed the series had been renewed for a tenth season at their annual upfronts, that Irwin would be taking over the hosting duties of Chris Brown and premiering on 24 March 2024. [28] [29] [30] [31]

Format

The premise of the show is that there is a group of well known personalities living together in a specially constructed camp site in a jungle. During their time in the jungle they are isolated from the outside world and are not commonly aware of outside events. The contestants compete for $100,000 to be donated to a charity of their choosing, in addition to being personally reimbursed for their participation. [32] While in the jungle, some of the contestants (generally voted by the viewing public) compete in challenges for food and luxuries for the camp. These challenges often involve local wildlife and are meant to take the contestants out of their comfort zone. Each week one or more of the contestants are evicted from the jungle, based on viewer votes. In addition, if the contestants become overwhelmed by their situation they can leave the series by speaking the phrase "I'm a celebrity...get me out of here!". However, it is reported that if contestants do quit they will have their income for participating in the series markedly reduced. [33] Throughout the show, additional contestants (called "intruders") enter the competition; and beginning with season two, some contestants are only included temporarily (i.e. having a guest appearance). [34] In the end, a final viewer vote occurs to determine the winner of the series, who is given the title of "King or Queen of the Jungle".

Bushtucker trials

The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food. These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. The winner is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates.

The Sunday Slam

In the fifth season, the celebrities participated in the Sunday Slam, [35] in which every Sunday a celebrity had to complete a gigantic and hilarious obstacle course. These courses sometimes involved competing 'head-to-head' against another celebrity who was in the opposing team. If the celebrity completed the course they would win a 'slam' of meals for their celebrities and if they didn't they would leave with very little food or nothing. The new tucker trial was split into two main parts - The Course and The Slammer. The time spent on the gauntlet determined how steep the Slammer would be. There were a number of challenges in the obstacle course, including a slippery slide, an 'electric forest', a spinning turntable, twin spinning logs, a 'mole hole', 'feathering' chambers and the 'boulder dash'. [35]

Superhero Sundays

In Season 6 Superhero Sundays were introduced, which involved a group of celebrities participating in superhero themed trials each Sunday. These challenges include Dreadmill, [36] The Scariest Trial We've Ever Done! [37] and Buns of Steel.

Celebrity chest challenges

Any number of celebrities are chosen to take part in the celebrity chest challenge to win luxuries for camp. Each challenge involves completing a task to win a chest to take back to camp. However, to win the luxury item in the chest, the campmates must correctly answer a question. If they fail to answer correctly, the luxury item is forfeited and a joke prize is won. The luxury item is "donated" by a celebrity from the outside.

Secret mission

This is a challenge where some celebrities have to take part without alerting the other celebrities - if they are successful in their 'missions', they are rewarded.

Mystery box

A mystery box sees a box delivered to the campsite, each time containing a different gift for the contestants.

Immunity Challenges

In season 5 immunity challenges were introduced for the first time ever. [35] These challenges were harder than the Bushtucker Trials and the celebrity that won the challenge couldn't be voted out of the jungle by the public.

Broadcast

The show is broadcast Sunday to Thursday at 7.30 pm, with a weekly eviction show on Sunday (except for the first week, where the celebrities arrive in the 'jungle'). All shows are presented by Julia Morris & Chris Brown from a nearby studio. The program is live to AEDT States (New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory), in other states the program is delayed to accommodate local time zones. As season 8 is the first to air outside of Daylight Savings Time, Queensland will also receive the broadcast live alongside the South East states, with other states receiving a delayed broadcast.

The fallout zone

In addition to the television broadcast, for the first season a live feed from the camp site aired for an hour after the AEDT airing of the show on Ten's website and mobile app, titled The Fallout Zone but more commonly referred to as FOZ. The content of feed was available on the website after the fact so viewers in other states could watch the show after their airing of the main show. The feed was hosted by comedian Sam Mac and producer Ciaran "The Butcher" Flannery, also known as "The C-Word". On 8 and 12 March 2015, producer Dominic "The Domin8or" Sullivan filled in during Flannery's absence. The duo interact with viewers through Twitter, using the hashtag #FOZ. Mac and Flannery have no control over the shots used in the stream which has resulted in one episode featuring a 20-minute shot of a waterfall and, on 16 February 2015, a 15-minute conversation featuring a sound technician looking for Bob being picked up. On 5 March 2015 the show famously featured audio problems during which Mac and Flannery's voices fluctuated between chipmunk and Darth Vader filters for the first thirty minutes. The show's theme song is Highway to the Fallout Zone sung by Sam Mac. The show did not return for the second season.

Saturday Schoolies

In addition to the main broadcast, season 5 had a companion show hosted by Scott Tweedie, which aired on Network Ten on Saturdays at 7:00 pm called I'm A Celebrity: 'Saturday Schoolies'. [35] [38] The show involved all the celebrities in the jungle and was described as 'jungle detention'. Tweedie gave assignments, in the form of 'fun' games, to the celebrities which pushed them out of their comfort zones. The show was filmed on a classroom set in camp and the celebrities completed tasks to win the 'golden lunchbox', which included a number of school snacks such as an apple, dried mango, a muesli bar, biscuits, chips, chicken, a cheese & lettuce sandwich as well as juice. [39]

Public voting

Throughout the show the public votes on who competes in the following tucker trial and whom to evict from the campsite. Viewers can either vote via SMS (by texting the name of the celebrity to 1995 1010) or vote via Social Media (namely Facebook or Twitter) by using the celebrity's hashtag (#celeb[name]). Voting via social media is limited to 20 votes per account. For tucker trial voting, viewers vote for celebrity they wish to compete. For eviction voting, viewers vote for a celebrity to stay. Voting closes at approximately 7:30pm AEDT for Sunday's eviction vote and at approximately 8pm AEDT for voting on other days.

Prior to the premiere of the second season, it was announced that the voting process would change slightly compared to the inaugural season. SMS voting was used for both trial and eviction voting while Twitter voting was used exclusively for trial voting. This change was implemented to even the playing field between celebrities with a larger international fan base (who are more likely to receive Twitter votes from said fan base) and celebrities with a smaller fan base who are only known in Australia. [40] However, this decision was later reversed, allowing Twitter and Facebook votes for the finals. [41]

Pre-recorded format (seasons 7–8)

The seventh and eighth seasons of the show were pre-recorded and did not feature public voting except for the finale, in which the final six celebrities faced a public vote to determine the winner, with the results revealed during a live reunion.[ citation needed ] Evictions were instead determined by challenges.
