ITV has announced a brand-new, one-off compilation special titled I’m A Celebrity… How To Survive the Jungle, airing this Sunday at 6:00 PM (18:00), just ahead of the UEFA Nations League clash between England and Spain.
Designed to celebrate 25 years of jungle chaos, the 60-minute standalone programme will serve as an essential—and tongue-in-cheek—survival guide for the next batch of unsuspecting celebrity campmates.
Narrated by the show’s BAFTA award-winning hosts, Ant and Dec, the special will look back at two and a half decades of unforgettable highlights to deliver crucial “jungle hacks.” Viewers can expect a mix of hilarious tips and practical advice covering everything from mastering the art of fire-starting and conquering dreaded Bushtucker Trials, to navigating the most difficult challenge of all: enduring fellow campmates’ loud snoring and short fuses. Packed with “I wish I’d known that!” moments, the broadcast aims to highlight that thriving in the Australian camp requires surviving your co-stars just as much as the local creepy crawlies.
The special acts as the ultimate warm-up for the main event, as I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! officially returns on Monday, 16th November at 9:00 PM (21:00) on ITV1, STV, and ITVX. Ant and Dec will once again be broadcasting live from Australia every night to bring viewers all the latest camp drama.
Following the main nightly broadcasts, sister show I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked will also return live on ITV2 and ITVX, with Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers back at the helm to dissect all the action.
Ahead of Monday’s launch, 11 famous faces are preparing to swap their luxury lifestyles for camp life in hopes of being crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle:
