# I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (British TV series) series 23

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returned for its 23rd series on 19 November 2023 on ITV. The series was filmed in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, with Ant & Dec returning to present the series.
On 10 December 2023, Sam Thompson was declared the winner of the series, and ultimately the new "King of the Jungle", with Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage finishing in second and third place respectively.

## Production

Following the conclusion of the twenty-second series, ITV confirmed an "All-Stars" series I'm a Celebrity...South Africa featuring previous contestants, which aired earlier in 2023 and was won by Myleene Klass. The first trailer for the twenty-third series aired in October 2023, which featured a ten-second clip of presenters Ant & Dec working at a luxury "Jungle Retreat" and with an added voiceover speaking the words "Come away with us [to the Jungle Retreat]".
A further extended trailer was released a week later, teasing the series as a peaceful and relaxing setting fit for a celebrity with Ant & Dec undertaking jobs such as pouring mealworms into a bath. It also included a voiceover describing the eating trials as "exotic cuisine" and enticing celebrities to join the "ultimate jungle experience". The trailer also features a five-star "Jungle Retreat" sign as well as an aerial view of the beach overseeing Ant & Dec writing the words "Get Me Out of He[re]" in the sand.

## Celebrities

The original line-up was announced by ITV on 13 November 2023. On 22 November 2023, Frankie Dettori and Tony Bellew were confirmed as this year's late arrivals. Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears both withdrew from the series due to "medical grounds" on 27 and 29 November respectively.

## Deals on Wheels challenges

As well as competing in the Bushtucker trials, celebrities have to complete in "Deals on Wheels challenges" in order to earn treats for the camp. At least two celebrities are chosen to compete in the challenge. These are often mental challenges, rather than challenges including critters. They must complete the challenge they have been given in order to win 'Dingo Dollars'.
After completion of the challenge, the celebrities will take the Dingo Dollars and purchase a snack from Kiosk Kev, who for this series was located in an ice cream van, "Kev's Wallaby Whips". Before they are allowed to take the prize, the other celebrities back at the living quarters must answer a trivia question. If they get the question right, they will earn the treat, but if they get it wrong, the celebrities will go back empty-handed.

## Play-offs

On 23 November, following the campmates' entrance to The Scarena and their subsequent participation in "Locker Shocker", the campmates were separated in to two teams with the winning five forming the "Home" team and the losing five forming the "Away" team. New arrivals Frankie and Tony entered camp and competed in a trial to determine who would coach each team. Once separated into two camps, the teams went head-to-head in play-offs to win points. At the end of the three play-offs, the "Home" team amassed the most points and were therefore awarded with a breakfast.
