I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026 is set to deliver another dramatic twist tonight (April 20) – as hosts Ant and Dec return to camp with news that two stars will be heading home.
But in a major shake-up, this time it won’t be down to one person making the call…
I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026: Shock new elimination twist
Following last week’s exit of Seann Walsh – who was sent packing by Harry Redknapp after the Lions lost their challenge – the pressure is now back on camp.
However, tonight’s I’m A Celebrity South Africa elimination comes with a twist. Instead of one person deciding, the entire camp will be forced to choose who goes home next.
In a teaser clip, Ant and Dec remind the celebrities that the public will crown the ultimate winner in a live final later this week. But before that, they drop a bombshell: the campmates themselves must now decide who leaves.
The announcement leaves the group visibly stunned.

Ashley Roberts holds all the power
After winning the latest trial, Ashley Roberts is safe from elimination – and handed a huge advantage.
She’s told she must pick one campmate to save. That person will then choose another, and so on, creating a chain of safety.
Whoever is left standing at the end will be eliminated immediately. And, according to latest reports, that’s not all…
Double elimination brewing…
The Sun is now claiming that tonight’s show will feature a double elimination.
In a savage twist, following their elimination, the axed celebrity must select another to leave with them.
A source said: “It’s absolutely savage and had the celebrities reeling when it all kicked off in camp. They were surprised enough to be told they needed to oust one of their own so to then learn the leaver would have to axe another is brutal.
“It all kicks off a mad week of action before Friday’s final.”
I’m A Celebrity South Africa fans already calling for one name
Ahead of the episode airing, viewers have made it very clear who they want to see sent home – David Haye.
The boxer has faced heavy backlash in recent days, particularly following his treatment of Adam Thomas. Although he has since apologised, fans are still keen to see him leave.
“DAVID DAVID DAVID!” one viewer posted online. “Pick David please!” said another. “For the love of God choose David,” a third added.
Others warned they’d be shocked if anyone else was picked, with one saying: “If they choose anyone else I’ll be appalled.”
With tensions already running high in camp, tonight’s decision could prove hugely divisive.
