Who won I’m a Celebrity South Africa 2026? Winner revealed in heated final

After a tough three weeks filled with difficult challenges, disagreements among campmates, and scary moments, the final episode of I’m a Celebrity South Africa 2026 was here.

Tonight, April 24th, the four remaining contestants arrived at the live studio for the final round, and it was up to the viewers to decide the winner.

Wow, tonight’s finale was something else! Jimmy Bullard and David Haye really laid everything bare about their experiences in the jungle, and things got heated quickly. Honestly, it was pretty shocking to see Gemma Collins and Sinitta actually walk off set during the argument that followed. A total rollercoaster!

In the final moments of the last episode, Adam Thomas was crowned the winner of I’m a Celebrity South Africa 2026!

Tonight’s championship game wasn’t quite like the matches fans enjoyed during the South Africa series earlier this year.

I’m so excited for the finale! Ant and Dec let us know that while most of this season was filmed last year in South Africa, the final will be live – which means we’ll find out who wins in real-time! It’s going to be amazing.

Tonight, the celebrities came together in a UK studio, and viewers at home voted to decide who would be crowned this year’s I’m a Celebrity champion.

The pair explained that the new format will be broadcast live on television in the UK.

Okay, so here’s the plan for the finale – we’re bringing back everyone who competed this season! All the finalists will be here in the studio with us, and the audience will get to vote live, just like they do in Australia. It’s completely up to the viewers to decide who will be crowned the ultimate legend – a really exciting way to finish the season, if you ask me.

Tonight on the show, the final four campmates faced one last challenge. If they succeeded, they’d earn a final meal together before heading home.

I was always so impressed watching the trials! Each one offered five stars, and it was amazing how each campmate took charge of a different part of the meal. If they managed to win four stars, everyone got to enjoy the main dinner course they’d worked so hard on. But if they absolutely crushed it and got all five stars? Well, then we all got a little something extra special – a treat on top of the delicious dinner!

I was so excited to see the celebrity chefs! Harry Redknapp was tackling the appetizers, Craig Charles was in charge of the main courses, Adam Thomas was making all the desserts, and Sir Mo Farah was handling the drinks. It was a really fun competition!
