For the 2026 series of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, the jungle mayhem is scheduled to end on Sunday, December 7th. Yes, you read that right—just in time for you to reclaim your evenings and start your Christmas shopping. Or, you know, binge-watch the inevitable winner’s victory lap on every morning show.
That means the show will run for about three glorious weeks of trials, tears, and questionable fashion choices. It’s the perfect length: long enough for you to get weirdly attached to a soap star, but short enough that you don’t forget what your living room looks like in daylight.
But Wait, What About the Finale Itself?
The final episode—you know, the one where Ant and Dec don the tuxedos and the winner gets a crown made of twigs—will air live on ITV. Typically, the action kicks off around 9:00 PM and runs until someone actually gets crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. Expect a lot of tears, a heartfelt montage set to an emotional ballad, and at least one contestant asking, “Can I have a burger now?”
Pro tip: if you have a friend who says they’re “not that bothered” about the final, they’re lying. Everyone wants to see who gets the iconic series title. Don’t be that person who schedules a dentist appointment for that night. Prioritise what matters, people.
