Following the end of the previous series, the spin-off show, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW! was rebranded I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp.^[3] It was also announced that Laura Whitmore and David Morgan had quit the show and were replaced by Vicky Pattison, Stacey Solomon and Chris Ramsey.^[3] Joe Swash remained as part of the spin-off.^[3]

Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt won the show on 4 December 2016,^[4] with stand up comedian Joel Dommett finishing runner up and Emmerdale star Adam Thomas finishing third.^[5] This was the first time in the show's history that two women have won consecutive series.

Carol Vorderman and Jordan Banjo would return to the series seven years later to participate in I'm a Celebrity... South Africa alongside other former contestants to try to become the first I'm a Celebrity legend. Both of them reached the top six. Voderman was eliminated alongside series 4 contestant Paul Burrell, with the pair finishing joint sixth and fifth overall. Banjo would finish as runner-up to series 6 contestant Myleene Klass.

The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food.^[9] These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. The winner is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates. From 2014, the public voted for who took part in the trials via the I'm a Celebrity... app, from iOS and Android devices.^[10]

1 The celebrities were divided into two teams; "City Celebs" (Adam, Carol, Joel, Jordan and Ola) and "Jungle Celebs" (Larry, Lisa, Sam, Scarlett and Wayne). The City Celebs picked a Jungle Celeb to help them avoid the bushtucker trial. Carol picked Lisa, Ola picked Sam, Jordan picked Scarlett, Adam picked Larry, and Joel picked Wayne. Each celebrity competed in a task, where the person whose partner lost had to face the first bushtucker trial.

2 Larry and Scarlett were excluded from the trial on medical grounds.

3 Larry, Martin and Scarlett were excluded from the trial on medical grounds.

Member(s) from camp will take part in the challenge to win 'Dingo Dollars'.^[11] If they win them then they can then take the dollars to the 'Outback Shack', where they can exchange them for camp luxuries with Kiosk Keith.^[11] Two options are given and the celebrities can choose which they would like to win. However, to win their luxury, a question is asked to the celebrities still in camp via the telephone box.^[11] It is often joked that Ant & Dec make up these questions and their answers. If the question is answered correctly, the celebrities can take the items back to camp. If wrong, they receive nothing and Kiosk Keith will close the shack.^[11]

  The celebrities got the question correct

  The celebrities got the question wrong

  No question was asked

1 As the reigning royals, Adam, Ola, Sam and Wayne were the only participants in this Dingo Dollar Challenge. After receiving their Dingo Dollars, they didn't have to answer a question as their prize was automatically awarded to them. They did however have the decision to share their prize with the "Subjects"; they accepted this offer.

Official ratings are taken from BARB.^[12]
