Ant & Dec presented the main show on ITV, whilst Matt Brown and former contestant Tara Palmer-Tomkinson hosted the spin-off show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here... Now! on ITV2. Live streaming returned for the final time and was again broadcast overnight on ITV2, but was no longer repeated during the daytime.
12 contestants participated, one more than in the previous series.
