I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here Australia may have come back in 2026, but the season wasn’t quite business as usual.
With episodes pre-recorded and live voting scrapped, contestants were forced to vote amongst themselves to decide who will face each bush tucker trial – a twist that added a new layer of tension to camp life.
Beloved co-host Julia Morris told WHO the new twist made the season the “toughest yet” for contestants as they tried to navigate this change on top of all the usual ones.
Although the show is over now after Concetta Caristo was crowned Queen of the Jungle- here are all of the eliminations from this year’s series:
Who has been eliminated so far?
Runners- Up
After weeks of stomach-churning tucker trials, raw campfire heart-to-hearts, punishing challenges and dramatic exits, the jungle journey is over. On Sunday night, the public voted between finalists Luke Bateman, Gary Sweet and Concetta Caristo- crowning the Triple J radio host as the winner.
As a result- Luke and Gary were technically eliminated from the competition (although the finale was pre-recorded so they were already at home!)
3 in 1
In one of the wildest episodes of I’m A Celebrity Australia to date- not one, not two, but three stars were sent home from the jungle.
First up it was Cyrell Paule, who has had quite the tumultuous journey on the show- bickering with almost every other campmate!
Comedian Nath then also got a the boot in a surprising twist that saw two more stars kicked off at once.
The third to be sent home was Rebekah who seemed to be just as heartbroken not to be in the top three of this year’s series.
George Calombaris left the jungle
George Calombaris was sent packing on Monday, February 16, after losing an elimination challenge against Nath Valvo and Concetta Caristo.
While the MasterChef Australia judge struggled at the start of the competition, he admitted growing to love the mayhem.
“Suddenly I’m with strangers getting to learn who they are, getting thrown into challenges, and you just got to go, you know what? Let’s free-fall here, let’s go for this,” George said.
So, while his time on the show comes to an end, he’s ready for his next chapter…perhaps taking some of the flavours of the jungle with him.
Mia Fevola leaves fans reeling
Fans of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Australia were left reeling after Mia Fevola became the latest campmate sent packing.
The 24-year-old, who entered the jungle with plenty of public interest as the daughter of former AFL star and past winner Brendan Fevola, lost the elimination challenge to fellow contestant Cyrell Paule.
Social media lit up within minutes of the result airing, with some fans threatening to boycott the series altogether.
One disgruntled viewer wrote: “Not watching this game anymore. Next thing you know Cyrell will have the crown on her head.”
Another added: “Cannot stand Cyrell. If she wins I shall never watch this show again.”
Dyson Heppell says goodbye
Dyson Heppell was eliminated from the jungle after losing a challenge against Gary Scott on February 11.
After a memory game saw the two “competitive” men battle head-to-head, it was ultimately Dyson who was booted from the show, with the star telling WHO that he was disappointed to leave.
“I would have struggled with snakes, but at the same time, I would have loved to have done a snake challenge to try and, you know, buck that fear, but I didn’t get the opportunity to,” he told us.
Fans devastated Barry Williams was booted out
Barry Williams’ time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia came to an abrupt end during a high-pressure elimination at the Elephant’s Graveyard on February 9, making him the third celebrity sent packing this season.
The Hollywood veteran, best known for his role on The Brady Bunch, exited the competition in a moment that many viewers felt was over far too soon.
During his stint in the jungle, the US native quickly became a camp favourite, earning the nickname Big Bad Bazza and was even jokingly crowned an honorary Aussie by his fellow celebrities.
Campmates wave goodbye to Matt Zukowski
Matt Zukowski was the second campmate to be dumped from The Jungle after previously surviving the first elimination against Rachel Hunter.
Matt told WHO he wanted to stay for longer.
“I wish I’d stayed longer,” he told WHO. “But again, that’s easier to say when I’m been sitting on a couch for six weeks.”
Matt was eliminated on February 4 after he lost a game against Luke and Dyson. He’s the second campmate to be eliminated.
Rachel Hunter is the first campmate eliminated
Rachel Hunter was the first celebrity to have been kicked out of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia 2026.
The 56-year-old model was evicted from camp on February 1 after losing a guessing game against her fellow campmate, Matt Zukowski.
However, fans were not happy with this turn of events and took to social media to share their thoughts.
One user took to X writing: “There’s no way Rachel would have been in the bottom three if the public got a chance to vote.”
A second agreed: “Well that sucks. I wanted Rachel to stay. This is bloody frustrating,” whilst another added: “If viewers were voting, Rachel would have made it much further.”
Deni Hines quit I’m A Celebrity
However, Deni Hines was officially the first celebrity to leave The Jungle after uttering the famous phrase (and where the show gets it’s namesake).
On January 27, fans watched singer Deni Hines, 55, leave her campmates behind after she decided to leave the show.
She struggled to adjust to camp life and had several clashes with fellow campmates, with one altercation even leaving Nath Valvo in tears.
“I’m a very strong willed human being and I’m very direct. And, if you’ve grown up in a bit of a cotton wool environment, I’d be a bit weird for you,” Deni said during her final episode.
She now joins a small group of celebrities to leave The Jungle by choice, including Anthony Mundine, Beau Ryan, Bernard Tomic, Frankie Muniz, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Mel Buttle and now Deni.
What other changes do we know about I’m A Celeb this season?
Despite the show being pre-recorded, and by extension public voting slashed, the public will have the ultimate decision of who is crowned the King or Queen of The Jungle – with three different finale episodes already recorded.
Finalists flew home after filming their ‘winning scenes’ without knowing if they’re the winners or not, because it’s ultimately not been decided yet.
What has Julia Morris said about the series?
One of the biggest challenges that has come with jungle life this year is not the fact that campmates are being voted to do trials, but rather the opposite.
Julia explained that while being voted to participate in trials does cause tension among contestants, the most unexpected tension is ignited when campmates raise their hand and ask to do it, only to be dismissed.
“It’s interesting because where they are trying to be conciliatory with each other and they’re trying to be cohesive and working as a team, there’s also a deep down ‘I can’t believe you didn’t choose me for that’. And, whether they say it or not, we as an audience know it [is a problem],” Julia told WHO.
