I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! viewers won’t have to wait much longer to discover who will be crowned this year’s champion.

The ITV reality programme is already in its second week, yet not a single celebrity has been eliminated from camp.

A dozen famous personalities are competing to claim the title of King or Queen of the Jungle next weekend.

According to The Sun, the feature-length finale will broadcast on Sunday, December 7 live on ITV1, STV and ITVX, reports the Mirror.

The grand finale will commence at 9pm and continue until 10.40pm, where three remaining campmates will compete for the public vote.

Former participant Nicola McLean, who entered the jungle back in 2008, has offered her predictions on who will reach the final.

Speaking on behalf of WhichBingo, the former glamour model said: “Aitch. Angry Ginge and Ruby are stand outs for me.

“I can see Ruby Wax doing really well because I think she’s been brilliant.”

Nicola also defended the celebrities after the 2025 line-up faced accusations of “faking” their responses to leaping from an aircraft during the opening episode.

I’m A Celebrity has been broadcasting on ITV for a quarter of a century, and audiences have grown familiar with witnessing participants make a spectacular arrival via parachute.

It wasn’t long before viewers at home took to social media to voice their opinions. One person sharing their thoughts on social media posted: “Why do they act shocked when this happens every season?”

Another viewer posted a GIF of a person with the caption ‘pretends to be shocked’, adding: “The celebs when they are told they have to jump out the helicopter even though it happens every year.”

Another quipped: “You’re in a helicopter and DIDN’T expect to have to jump out! ? The guy crouching in the corner with two parachutes didn’t give it away.”

Celebrity Big Brother’s Nicola weighed in, saying: “I think what you’ve got to understand is you can prepare yourself for the jungle.

“I went to London Zoo and touched reptiles because I was like ‘right, I’m terrified of this s**t’ so I need to prepare but then you get in there and you’re in a helicopter and they’re like swooping around because they want to get the title scene and it’s hell.

“So I don’t think it’s like pretending to be shocked or pretending to be scared. I genuinely think once you’re in there you’re like ‘Oh my God’ like it’s beyond your wildest dreams and it’s really scary.”

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
