I’m A Celebrity fans have now had time to size up this year’s campmates and choose who they want to leave – but when is the first elimination?
The good news is, the first elimination is just hours away now and someone is about to be sent packing.
But which campmates are facing the chop? And what time does it start? Here’s everything you need to know about I’m A Celebrity’s first elimination.
I’m A Celebrity: First elimination
Fans have been chomping at the bit to vote in the first elimination. As far back as last Thursday, one begged: “How long until we can get people eliminated? Why does there have to be someone jarring on every season?”
Another added: “I can’t wait for the eliminations to start, I know who I want out!”
ITV bosses were keeping tight-lipped about it, but here at ED! we soon worked it out.
I’m A Celebrity 2024’s first eviction took place on Day 13 in camp. Journalist Jane Moore was the first campmate to be given the shove.
In 2023, horse racer Frankie Dettori was eliminated on Day 15. But it is likely the public vote was pushed back, as Celebrity MasterChef’s Grace Dent quit on Day 9 and Jamie Lynn Spears walked out on Day 11.
The year before that, Loose Women’s Charlene White was first to be eliminated. Like in 2024, she left on Day 13. In 2021, it was Day 13 when former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips was given the boot, too.
Even in 2020, when the show was moved to Gwrych Castle in Wales due to the Covid pandemic, the same format followed. Paralympian Hollie Arnold was sent home on Day 13.
And guess what day it is today? DAY 13!
I’m A Celebrity: Who’s at risk of elimination?
There are seven celebrities at risk of the first elimination. They were selected during last night’s hideous live drinking trial.
The campmates have spent the past few days in ‘rival’ pairs, competing against one another for meals and treats. But the latest trial was next level.
One at a time, the pairs had to see who could down a stomach-churning drink the fasted. The quickest person won immunity from the elimination, the slowest is now at risk.
There has been some real controversy with the results, however. Vogue Williams is safe after she was declared the winner against Kelly Brook. But viewers are unhappy, as she vomited up the entire drink a second after finishing.
The losers of the trial who are at risk of going home are Kelly, Aitch, Angry Ginge, Martin Kemp, Jack Osbourne, Ruby Wax and Alex Scott.
What time is tonight’s elimination?
I’m A Celebrity’s first elimination will take place in tonight’s show (Friday November, 28, 2025). It starts at the usual time of 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX and runs until 10.20pm.
The elimination will feature in the second half of the show. In live scenes, Ant and Dec will head into the jungle and reveal who out of the unlucky seven is going home first.
They will then have to leave across the bridge before chatting to the presenters over a glass of champagne. If you’re lucky, they then might head over to spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked straight after at 10.20pm, for some more fun.
I’m A Celebrity: How to vote for the elimination
The important thing to remember here is that it is a vote to save. Viewers are not voting for who they want to eliminate from I’m A Celebrity, but instead voting for who their favourite campmate is. The person with the least votes will be eliminated.
Voting to keep your favourite celebrity in the jungle is easy. You can do it via the ITV app or by visitingITV.com/vote/iac. You have five free votes to use and can use them all on one contestant, or split them across several.
You must be over 14 to vote. The votes will close in tonight’s show.
Whoever goes tonight will set the pace for the next week.
As we all know, once these eliminations start, they don’t stop. Prepare to say goodbye to someone every night from now on!
I’m A Celebrity continues at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX on Friday November 28, 2025.
