In a dramatic showdown, Adam Thomas emerged victorious in the live final of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, despite facing stiff competition from previous winner Harry Redknapp. The public votes—decisive and passionate—sealed his fate as he claimed the coveted Jungle Legend title.
The final aired on April 24, 2026, showcasing four contestants: Adam Thomas, Mo Farah, Craig Charles, and Harry Redknapp. Before the finale, Scarlett Moffatt’s elimination left fans buzzing—she had been a strong contender throughout the series. Surprisingly, Thomas entered the final with fluctuating odds, initially considered a frontrunner but slipping to 7/4 just before the live event.
Harry Redknapp, with odds of 4/9, was the bookies’ favorite to win. Yet, viewers rallied behind Adam. “Come on Adam!” shouted one enthusiastic fan. Another declared, “If Mo doesn’t win it’s so unfair.” Such fervor reflects how invested fans became in this season’s bushtucker trials and celebrity eliminations.
This series featured beloved former campmates returning to tackle more demanding trials in South Africa—a setting that intensified confrontations and heightened drama among contestants. The pre-recorded segments added an element of suspense leading up to the live final broadcast on ITV1.

Adam’s journey resonated deeply with fans—”Adam just got all my votes and will again tomorrow,” expressed one viewer.
The outcome leaves questions lingering in the air. Will this victory lead to new opportunities for Adam Thomas? Or will it simply be another chapter in his already colorful career? As always with reality television, uncertainty looms large about what comes next for these celebrities.
