I’m a Celebrity finale won’t be Live this year
10 has a big chunk of Live entertainment coming our way but the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here finale won’t be one of them.
A Network 10 spokesperson said: “The I’m A Celeb finale will be prerecorded and air as live from South Africa on Sunday 17 February at 7.30pm on 10.”
The penultimate episode is next Tuesday when an elimination will leave 3 contestants remaining. 10 will then launch Changing Rooms across Wednesday 13 & Thursday February 14. That means 4-5 days of no episodes, a long time to sit around in the jungle, and a very expensive exercise for the hefty show crew.
Hence Chris & Julia will record the finale this year and head home to prepare for Sunday Night Takeaway.
Voting rules and cut-off for the finale are yet to be announced.
Meanwhile 10 has also clarified a slip of the tongue by Julia Morris on voting strategy after she told Katherine Kelly Lang that votes “accumulate” leading to some concerns about fairness.
“Julia Morris was comforting eliminated celebrity Katherine Kelly Lang and meant that the celebrities popularity accumulates over time, not the votes,” the spokesperson said.
“Votes are reset after every elimination.”
