What year did I'm a Celebrity start?

I'm a Celebrity UK first aired on ITV back in 2002, meaning the reality series has been on air for 23 years.

BBC Radio 2 presenter Tony Blackburn was the first ever winner of I'm a Celebrity UK, with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson finishing runner-up.

The UK version was the first of its kind, and since 2002, other countries have done their own versions, including:

• Australia (started in 2002)
• USA (2003)
• Germany (2004)
• Sweden (2007)
• Hungary (2008)

Where in Australia is I'm a Celebrity filmed?

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here has been filmed in several different locations since the first series aired back in 2002.

The first series, won by Blackburn, was filmed at King Ranch (officially El Rancho del Rey) in Kooroomool, near Tully, Queensland, according to National World.

That was the only time that site was used for the ITV show, before it moved to its current filming location in New South Wales.

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here is once again being filmed around Springbrook National Park, near Murwillumbah, New South Wales (which is located right by the Queensland border) in 2025, according to various sources, including Capital and Glamour.

The camp and filming studios are reportedly located in Dungay on Creek Road, NSW.

This has been the location ITV has used for the filming of the show since series 2 in 2003, apart from a two-year stint in 2020 and 2021 when the show took place at Gwrych Castle in North Wales due to Covid restrictions.
