I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026 final: How to vote for the winner
The voting line was opened at the end of last night’s show, meaning you can now choose your winner of I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026.
You can cast your vote on the official I’m A Celebrity app, or via ITV’s Vote website here. Sadly, the days of picking up the phone and calling through your vote are long gone.

But there is some good news, as you get five free votes on either the app or online. You can either cast all five on either Adam, Mo, Harry or Charles, or share them among your favourites.
The vote line will close at 7.15pm tonight (Friday April 24, 2026). You will then get the chance to vote again when the four becomes three.
But if the Final Four are still in South Africa in scenes pre-recorded last September, how on earth can you vote now for your favourite?!
Don’t fret, it’s not as complicated as it may seem (even though we too were left scratching our heads at first!).
How will the I’m A Celebrity South Africa Final work?
Ant and Dec are poised and ready to open tonight’s I’m A Celebrity South Africa live in London. However, the first part of the show will be the remainder of the pre-recorded footage from South Africa.
The Final Four will be seen taking part in one final trial. Mo, Adam, Harry and Craig will be trying their best to win themselves slap-up meals for their last day in camp.
There are five stars available, with one for each course. Each campmate is responsible for getting one course. Four stars mean each campmate will get a full dinner. The fifth represents a special treat.
In previously series, it has been common practice for the last trial to be an eating one. But not this time. All four campmates will get a different trial.
Mo will face his fears in an underground pit of snakes, while Harry will have to use his tongue to release his star from boxes of critters suspended above his head.
Craig will have to release a star from a maze, also with his tongue, while face-first in a tomb. And for Adam, the time is nigh. He’s avoided an eating trial – until now! He faces five-stomach churning dishes.
With the sun setting in camp, the Final Four will then ‘make their way’ to London for the live final. Obviously six months has passed, but let’s just forget that little detail!
All of this year’s I’m A Celebrity South Africa campmates will be ready and ‘waiting’ for them. Once back together in London, Ant and Dec will then reveal the result of the first public vote.
One campmate will leave the show. And then there will be three…
What time is the I’m A Celebrity live show?
The main chunk of tonight’s I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026 final will start at 7.30pm and run until 9pm. The majority of this show will be the pre-recorded South Africa footage.
It will end in London with Ant and Dec whittling the campmates down to three. The voting will then re-open, for you to once again cast five new votes for your winner.
Between 9pm and 10pm, you can sit back and watch Graham Norton’s brand new reality TV game show, The Neighbourhood, while you twiddle your thumbs and wait for the next bit!
At 10pm, the I’m A Celebrity South Africa final will resume. In a last instalment, the result of the second public vote will be revealed and your I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026 winner will be declared!
The only thing we do know is that this year’s ultimate Legend will be a man. Other than that, there’s everything to play for!
