Across the season, I’m A Celebrity’s overnight national audience was boosted 33% from 616,000 to a total national audience of 818,000. I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! was also #1 in its timeslot in 25 to 54s across the season.

On 10 Play, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! celebrated its biggest live stream audience, up 35% compared with 2022, and biggest BVOD audience, up 46%.

Senior Vice President Content and Programming, Paramount Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), Daniel Monaghan, said: “We’re delighted with the performance of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in its new timeslot starting straight after our Formula One coverage and just in time for family viewing over Easter.

“This year’s celebrities have brought our screens alive, bringing authenticity, humour and warmth not to mention a dash of drama. We’ve loved seeing their personal growth in the jungle and peeling back the layers of each celebrity, getting to know their worthy charities and seeing their bonds and friendships flourish in camp. And of course, their bravery, fortitude and folly as they faced frightening and revolting challenges that have given us unforgettable, laugh out loud moments.

“It’s also been wonderful to back in South Africa, the birthplace of the series, and we must congratulate our incredibly talented team at Network 10 and ITV Studios Australia, on delivering an outstanding season. Hosts Julia Morris and Dr. Chris Brown have been exceptional, and what a fitting swan song for Chris to be finishing his time on the series with a stellar season.

“We’re thrilled to welcome new royalty to Australia and see Liz crowned the Queen of the jungle and are proud to donate $100,000 to her charity, Share the Dignity.”

Chief Sales Officer, Paramount ANZ, Rod Prosser, said: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! delivered strong results for us this season, growing 10’s timeslot 15% year-on-year.

“The series has consistently won entertainment in under 50s and 25 to 54s, secured significant commercial shares over 30% in these key advertising demos and has achieved its biggest BVOD audiences ever with 46% growth on last year.

“We must also thank our wonderful sponsors including Bedshed who have joined us in the jungle for the last four years exemplifying the way we build and maintain positive partnerships. And new sponsor Harris Scarfe who joined us in the jungle for the first time.

“Both brands were featured in fresh and fun integrations that were loved by our celebrities and audiences alike delivering positive brand messages in our brand-safe series I’m A Celebrity …Get Me Out Of Here!”

Congratulations to Liz who won the season, also well done to Aesha and Harry for making the final three.

I think most of last night’s finale was filmed over three days: Liz, Aesha and Harry farewelled Nathan and Adam on Thursday, welcomed their family members on Friday and played the final challenge (Tough Love) in the afternoon, and had their final feast on Saturday night courtesy of Harris Scarfe.

I think next year the show will retain the April timeslot, but 10 will be smarter and not revealing the exact broadcast date to prevent the premiere being upstaged again by the reunion episodes of Married at First Sight.

I’d like to see this show go back to its January slot. It’s perfect for that time of the year and it rated most decently during that time.

I don’t think Julia gets enough credit. Yes, she is full on at times but that’s part of the show’s success. She is a master when it comes to live TV. She doesn’t skip a beat. Chris was a deer in the headlights season 1 and she carried the show.

Hopefully Ten won’t pair here with a comedian. She needs someone playing the straight role. Two comedians would be overkill.

She would be too overpowering for another comedian. Chris did well to play the straight man, while at the same time (attempting to) rein her in. She’s grown more powerful and confidant in this role over the years and whoever gets the role will have a big job ahead of him.

I know people have said no to Rob Mills, but I have a feeling that as an actor he may actually be quite good in this role. Alternatively Beau Ryan isn’t afraid of making himself look like an idiot so perhaps he could do it. He’d probably partake in some of the challenges too, like he did in TARA.

But Beau was in the jungle last year and quit the show after 2 weeks, so I’m not sure he would want to associate with the show again. In saying that, if he were to agree to it I think he would make a good host.

I noticed through various social media posts that all (or most) of the cast are together up on the Gold Coast this weekend. I gather this was not part of the offical show? To do a reunion?

Julia told Yahoo Lifestyle at the Logie Award nominations event on Monday that while she’s still “very sad” about the fact that Chris won’t be returning to the show, she’s looking forward to working alongside a brand new host.

“We start chemistry testing pretty soon with a number of different people - not even a number of different people, I think there’s kind of a party of six. And from there we’ll just work out where that best chemistry is and start a new adventure.”
