We’ve reached the end of I’m a Celebrity South Africa’s first week and it seems as though the famous campmates have settled into the savanna – although, for two contestants, the South African safari has come to an end.

Over the course of five days, we’ve seen 13 celebrities enter the brand new camp, including four late arrivals in the form of Gillian McKeith, Georgia Toffolo, Myleene Klass and Andy Whyment.

There have been contraband controversies and some contestants sent to the back-to-basics camp, while tonight’s episode saw three campmates take on the first elimination challenge of the whole series.

With a shock double elimination taking place in tonight’s episode, here’s everything you need to know about the celebs who’ve left I’m a Celebrity South Africa.
