Dear ITV,

I am writing to let you know that I am pledging to not watch I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! until the show stops using live animals in its trials.

It’s 2026. How are animals still being exploited in the name of entertainment? In last year’s show, young crocodiles appeared with apparently taped mouths in one trial involving rapper Aitch. Crocodiles are wild animals with complex needs. What gives us the right to use them in this way?

Previous trials have seen celebrities being put into a small room full of pigeons, confined to coffins full of snakes, and forced into cages alongside crocodiles, snakes, eels, and lizards.

The show doesn’t just impact vertebrate animals - an unfathomable number of insects have been thrown, squashed, and eaten over the course of its 24-year history.

ITV has been under pressure from viewers and animal rights groups to stop using animals for years. The reported ban on live animals being eaten in 2019 was a good step forward, but it doesn’t go far enough. No animals should be forced into these trials.

I’m a Celeb needs to get with the times and recognise that animals do not belong to us. Please make the Bushtucker Trials free from cruelty.

Best wishes,

Keep me updated! I agree to receive emails from Protect the Wild and its Rescue Not Retail campaign, including updates on wildlife protection, animal welfare, the campaign to end the sale of live animals in UK pet shops, and other campaigns and ways to get involved. I understand that emails may be sent through Substack and that I can unsubscribe at any time.
