I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (British series 17)
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returned for its seventeenth series on 19 November 2017 on ITV. The series is the third in a three-year contract, as confirmed by Ant & Dec at the end of the Coming Out show in December 2016.
In October 2017, it was confirmed that Ant & Dec would return to host the series, despite rumours suggesting that the pair would not be present due to Ant's admittance to rehab earlier in the year for drugs and alcohol addiction.
Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo won the series on 10 December 2017, with Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas finishing runner up, and broadcaster Iain Lee finishing third. This was the first time in the show's history that women won three consecutive series. Professional boxer Amir Khan also became the highest-paid contestant in the history of the show, beating the previous £400,000 record held by Katie Price in series 9.
Three days into the series, Jack Maynard was removed from the jungle after offensive messages on Twitter were discovered.

Dingo Dollar challenges
Member from camp will take part in the challenge to win 'Dingo Dollars'. If they win them, then they can then take the dollars to the 'Outback Shack', where they can exchange them, for camp luxuries with Kiosk Keith. Two options are given, and the celebrities can choose which they would like to win. However, to win their luxury, a question is asked to the celebrities still in camp via the telephone box. It is often joked that Ant & Dec make up these questions and their answers. If the question is answered correctly, the celebrities can take the items back to camp. If wrong, they receive nothing and Kiosk Keith will close the shack, and the celebrities will leave empty handed.Episode | Air date | Celebrities | Prizes available | Prize chosen | Notes |
