When was I'm A Celebrity All Stars filmed? Winner already crowned for South African series

The new series of I'm A Celebrity All Stars kicked off on Monday but, in a huge change to the ITV show's format, the All Stars winner has already crowned, meaning there will be no need for any public vote this time round.

Anticipation is at fever pitch for the start of All Stars, weeks after the I'm A Celebrity line-up was officially unveiled by hosts Ant and Dec on Saturday Night Takeaway. Famous former campmates like Carol Vorderman, Paul Burrell and Helen Flanagan all headed to South Africa for the spin-off, with others taking part including Janice Dickinson and Phil Tufnell.

Before the first episode had even aired, rumours started to swirl on I'm A Celebrity late arrivals, with the likes of Gillian McKeith and Jose Swash tipped to stun their co-stars with a delayed entrance to camp.

Unlike I'm A Celebrity's past series in Australia and Wales, there will be no live elements to All Stars, as filming has been done and dusted for months.

When was I'm A Celebrity All Stars filmed?

Presenters Ant and Dec confirmed filming was taking place back in September, with them appearing on a video which they posted on Twitter to say: "Hello everybody, we've got news! It's probably the worst kept secret in television but we can confirm we are doing a very special series of I'm A Celebrity in South Africa!

Offering a further teaser of what was to come, they added: "We're here and it's going to be your favourite celebrities from the last 20 years, who are going back in to do it one more time in South Africa!"

Unlike normal I'm A Celebrity series, viewers won't get to choose who faces the trials, with Carol Vorderman and others claiming that producers really upped the ante with the challenges for All Stars, making them more brutal than ever before.
