Carol Vorderman and Myleene Klass explain why they both ‘threw out’ bathroom scales' please

The grand final of I’m a Celebrity... South Africa is upon us.

After three weeks of camping and challenges, the all-stars spinoff will crown its first-ever “I’m a Celebrity Legend” tonight (12 May).

Singer Myleene Klass, athlete Fatima Whitbread, dancer Jordan Banjo and cricketer Phil Tufnell make up the final four, but all their former campmates are being brought back for the closing episode to carry out the horrible task of booting one of them out.

Other celebrities to appear in this series, which is made up of stars from across the flagship show’s history, have included Carol Vorderman, Shaun Ryder and Amir Khan.

Ant and Dec have been back on presenting duties.

There has been no public vote throughout this series, because it is not filmed live.

In tonight’s final, there will be two trials that will ultimately decide who will be named the first-ever “Legend”.

And then there were two...

Since Fatima Whitbread has no concept of time, the final two contests are Jordan Banjo and Myleene Klass! We’re almost there folks...

We could be here a while...

They only had to have the glass boxes on their heads for 6 minutes! Fatima is refusing to tap out. They hit the full limit at 15 minutes.

“Fats you must have fallen asleep!” He says.

There’s no time for a shower – the final three are off to the next trial!

That was quick! None of the three were expecting to be called straight off to a trial. The penultimate trial will see them compete against each other. The loser will be eliminated and the final two will progress to one last trial to decide the winner of the series.

This means former King of the Jungle Phil Tufnell is out. Aww, Tuffers, he’s taken it like a champ.

Where is it filmed in South Africa?

It’s filmed in the “harsher and more unforgiving” environment of South Africa’s Kruger National Park, with the contestants facing challenges “even bigger and tougher” than before. Read more here.

When did the South Africa cast first appear on the show

Among the contestants to return to the special all-star series were winners, finalists and even early exiters who made an impression on the jungle.

The Independent has put together a list of all the contestants this year and a reminder of their first times in the jungle.

Is there a public vote?

Because the show has been pre-recorded, there is no public vote.

At the end of the last episode, we saw all the evicted campmates from the series come back to select the final three.

Once the three have been selected, they’ll face one last test to determine who will be the first Legend of the jungle.
