I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is a reality television game show series in which up to 13 celebrities live together in a jungle environment for a few weeks maybe some months. They have no luxuries, and compete to be crowned king or queen of the jungle. The first episode aired in August 2002 and a 15th UK series was aired in November 2015, with another one due to air at the same time the following year.

The show was originally created in the United Kingdom by the Manchester-based Granada Television and developed by its London subsidiary LWT for ITV. It is now produced by ITV Studios and has been licensed globally to countries including the United States, Germany, France, Hungary, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Romania, Australia and India.[1]

As of 2015, the UK and German versions are still in production and the Hungarian version returned. The second Australian version began airing in 2016 with filming taking place in Kruger National Park, South Africa[2]

Filming location

On location in the 'Jungle' Dungay in north eastern NSW, Australia.

The UK, the German and the 2003 U.S. versions of the series take place in Australia, at a permanently built up camp at the edge of a sub-tropical rain forest that extends from Numinbah Nature Reserve and Springbrook National Park. However the first series of the show was filmed on a smaller site at King Ranch, near Tully, Queensland. The Australian series is filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa,.[3]

Other versions of the show have been filmed in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Criticism

This series has been criticized by the UK former Secretary of State for Culture, Tessa Jowell. In an interview with the Financial Times during the second UK series, she said, "If they weren't mostly – save their blushes – has-been celebrities, there might be more interest [...] I think that if we saw many more programming hours taken over by reality TV, "I hope you'd begin to see a viewers' revolt."[4]

In 2002, CBS, broadcaster of the popular American reality show Survivor, unsuccessfully sued ABC and Granada TV over a planned American version of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, alleging similarities.[5]

The show's use of live insects and other living creatures in the bushtucker trials has led to some public criticism of the show and its producers and those involved in the programming. This issue was highlighted during the 2009 UK series, where celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo killed, cooked and ate a rat. The Australian RSPCA investigated the incident and sought to prosecute D'Acampo and actor Stuart Manning for animal cruelty after this episode of the show was aired. ITV was fined £1,600 and the two celebrities involved were not prosecuted for animal cruelty despite being charged with the offence by the New South Wales Police. This incident did, however, highlight among certain groups such as Buglife, a British charity for the conservation of insects, and the RSPCA, the controversy surrounding the use of living creatures for human entertainment. It also raised concerns with these groups that people may attempt to recreate the bushtucker trials with their own pets at home.

There has been criticism that the producers pretend that the celebrities have to live in "dangerous" jungle even though they are in a controlled environment, with some of the scenery being artificial, e.g. a pond and a small waterfall.[6]

In November 2014, TV presenter Chris Packham wrote an open letter to Ant & Dec asking them to end "abuse of animals" in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, He described the trials as "out of date" and "silly".[7]
