About I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! (British TV series) in brief

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is a British survival reality television show. It was created by London Weekend Television and produced by ITV Studios, and aired on ITV from Australia. The format sees a group of celebrities living together in extreme conditions with few creature comforts. Each member undertakes challenges to secure additional food and treats for the group, and to avoid being voted out by viewers during their stay. The final episode’s votes nominating who wins a series and become crowned as \”King or Queen\”. In February 2020, it was reported that ITV had renewed the show for 3 more series keeping it on air until 2022. The programme’s first series debuted on 25 August 2002, and was produced by both LWT and Granada Television, and filmed within Tully, Queensland. Since the second series the following year, the programme has been filmed around Springbrook National Park near Murwillumbah, New South Wales. The main show was accompanied by a sister show from 2002 until 2019 on ITV2, entitled I’m a celebrity: Extra Camp, which featured behind-the-scenes footage and discussions on celebrities voted out of the latest episode, and clips of the next episode.

In return for their appearance on the show, the celebrities are asked to nominate a charity to which the producers, ITV Studios,. make donations. The celebrities themselves are also paid a fee to compensate them for possible loss of earnings while they are in the jungle. The money is raised by allowing viewers to vote by phone for the celebrity they would like to complete a Bushtucker Trial – a physical task usually involving snakes, spiders or other creepy-crawlies. In the eating trials, contestants are required to eat a variety of different \”jungle\” foods. Each dish successfully eaten will gain the contestants one star, which equals one meal for camp. Other past foods include beach worms, bull’s tongues, the anus of various animals, vomit fruits, cooked pigs’ brains, raw fish eyes, sheep eyes, blended rats or mice tails. Prior to the airing of the 19th series in 2019, ITV announced that eating trials will no longer contain live bugs.
