The stars of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! are back for the highly anticipated All Stars edition, but this time, they’re heading to South Africa for a truly life-changing experience. For many of the returning celebrities, the original Australian version of the show wasn’t just a TV appearance — it completely transformed their lives.
Ashley Roberts, known for her time with the Pussycat Dolls, opened up about the impact the show had on her: “I didn’t know how much I’m A Celebrity was going to affect me. This show changed my life.” After competing in the jungle, Ashley moved to the UK and even joined Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. For Ashley, this wasn’t just a reality show; it was the beginning of a new chapter in her life.
Scarlett Moffatt, who gained fame through Gogglebox and later worked with I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec, echoed similar sentiments, saying: “I have everything to thank this show for.” For Scarlett, I’m A Celebrity was a turning point in her career, marking the first solo project she’d ever taken on.
Other stars, like Adam Thomas, were also propelled into new opportunities after their jungle experience. “It was the first time I’d done anything as myself,” Adam shared. “People got to know me and I have never looked back.”
Comedian Seann Walsh, whose career saw a resurgence after his 2022 stint on the show, reflected on his time in the jungle with a sense of humor. “It changed my life in a very positive way,” he said, highlighting how the experience reignited his comedy career.
This year’s cast includes some familiar faces like Coronation Street star Beverley Callard, Olympic champion Mo Farah, and football legend Harry Redknapp. Each has their own unique story about how I’m A Celebrity changed their lives, from boosted confidence to revived careers.
With a fresh batch of contestants, including Gemma Collins, Jimmy Bullard, and Craig Charles, this All Stars edition promises to deliver even more laughs, drama, and, of course, unforgettable Bushtucker Trials.
I’m A Celebrity: South Africa starts on Bank Holiday Monday at 9 PM on ITV1. Don’t miss the jungle adventure of a lifetime!
