I’m A Celebrity South Africa viewers were left seriously surprised on Tuesday night (April 14) as Gemma Collins pulled off an unexpected turnaround, with many now tipping her for the crown.
The GC started the episode on the winning Rhino tribe, as Craig Charles and Adam Thomas secured dinner for camp. But by the end of the show, fans at home had completely changed their tune, with some already calling her the 2026 Legend ahead of next week’s live final.

The all-stars series is now well into its second week, and Gemma Collins’ so-called redemption is gathering pace. She has already lasted longer than her previous stint back in 2014, when she famously exited early.
This time, she has spent over a week in camp and has made it clear she wants viewers to see the real her, rather than the larger-than-life GC persona.
During Tuesday’s episode, Gemma surprised fans by praising Sinitta’s cooking, despite their recent tension after Sinitta branded her West End Chicago role “a joke”. She also showed a softer side as she comforted David Haye following his trial loss, telling him he was still a champion in her eyes, days after their own clash over the eating trial.
The shift in her attitude has not gone unnoticed, with viewers quick to pick up on her kinder, more supportive approach.
