Where can I watch old episodes of I’m a Celebrity? How to watch past seasons of ITV series from season 1

I’m a Celebrity feels like it has been on our screens forever - it’s older than Love Island, Made in Chelsea, The Only Way is Essex, and even Geordie Shore. Sine season four, the series has come around every November without fail, come hell or high water… or a global pandemic, and is a vital part of pre-Christmas viewing.

For the first time, the series is set in South Africa, and reuniting former winners and past contestants for a celebratory All Stars series. As fans prepare for another three weeks of entertainment at the expense of a group of loveable celebrities, some viewers may want to revisit earlier seasons of the show and see where it all began. This is how you can watch old episodes of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

How can you watch old episodes of I’m a Celebrity?

Episodes of the current season of I’m a Celebrity are available to watch on the ITV Hub after they are broadcast on ITV, with episodes being added daily. All of seasons 20 and 21 - the seasons which were filmed at a Welsh castle - are also available on the ITV Hub now. You don’t need a TV licence to watch these episodes on catch-up, and the ITV Hub is free to access.

Spin-off shows available to watch now on the ITV Hub include I’m a Celebrity... A Castle Story, in which hosts Ant and Dec discuss the highs and lows of filming in Wales, I’m a Celebrity...Jungle Challenge: Celebs vs Fans, which saw three former campmates take on fans in a series of challenges, I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - Coming Home, and three episodes of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! - Clip Show.

Unfortunately, when it comes to watching earlier seasons of the show which were filmed in Australia, it gets more difficult, as no episodes from seasons 1-19 are available to watch on the ITV Hub. As ITV Studios owns the rights to the show, it will be difficult to find full episodes, let alone full seasons, elsewhere.

There are a handful of full episodes from previous seasons available on YouTube, but the best you are going to get in most cases is short highlight videos of up to about 10 minutes long from across the last 22 seasons. You can find these on the official I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! YouTube page which has 1.38 million subscribers and a total of more than 726 million views.

When is I’m a Celebrity All Stars on TV?

I’m a Celebrity All Stars is airing on ITV from Monday 24 April - the series will air nightly from 9pm. Episodes will be released on the ITV Hub within 24 hours of them first airing. There are expected to be 22 episodes in this season.

There will be no behind the scenes show this year - I’m a Celebrity: Extra Camp, which was originally known as  I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! Now!, was replaced with The Daily Drop in 2020, but was axed in 2021.
