The Only Way is Essex icon is back on ITV
I’m a Celebrity South Africa viewers agreed that Gemma Collins has “saved” the series moments into her entrance.
The ITV spin-off series has returned to viewers screens, and it features a stacked cast of famous faces from some of the most memorable series in the jungle of years gone by.
With episode one out of the way, it was time for two new stars to enter the Savannah and meet their fellow campmates. Joining the existing celebrities, it was former Coronation Street star Craig Charles and Essex icon Gemma Collins.

The last time Gemma was in the jungle, she quit after 72 hours back in 2014, but revealed that she’s determined for viewers to see a different side of her. Additionally, she’s confident she won’t quit.
“Going on All Stars is a real moment for me in my career – it’s redemption. To be able to do this again is the greatest honour ever. I am going to be the best campmate and get those stars. None of us will be starving under my watch,” she told ITV.
Gemma continued: “My soul told me it was right for me. I’ve never been to South Africa before. I think that is why they made a show on Essex people, because none of us have really left Essex! The fact I am now here is amazing.”
On Tuesday (April 7) night, the campmates were adjusting to life in camp, but change was on the horizon as Craig and Gemma got into their designated helicopters.
As Gemma prepared to get into a helicopter once more to face her fears from 12 years ago, she ended up enjoying the view from above.
On X (formerly known as Twitter), viewers expressed their excitement that Gemma had returned to the series. @fansvfavourites wrote: “obsessed with gemma overcoming her fear of helicopters within 4 minutes of being on the show! that’s our winner”.
@itsbbplus added: “Gemma Collins being on #ImACeleb for about 3 minutes & has already saved the entire series” as @felixw1 agreed: “2 minutes and Gemma Collins have already saved this series”.
