This season’s mix of UK, Greek, and Australian reality stars, athletes, and a retired soap actor starts awkwardly but finds its rhythm by episode 4. Standout: Elena (a Greek pop star) – surprisingly resilient in trials; and Terry (ex-rugby player) – unintentional comedy gold during cooking duties.

The “Hades’ Descent” trial (eating fermented seafood while submerged in a shipping container) is genuinely hard to watch. The WEBRip doesn’t censor much – expect full gagging and tears.

The “villain” (a social media influencer) gets voted into every trial until exhaustion, then booted. The final three are obvious by episode 9.

The Greek heat is brutal, but without the dense canopy or exotic insects, it loses some of the classic I’m a Celeb claustrophobia. Trials rely more on heights and darkness than creepy-crawlies.
