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.[2][3]
Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo won the series on 10 December 2017,[4] 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.[5] 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.[6][7]
Three days into the series, Jack Maynard was removed from the jungle after offensive messages on Twitter were discovered.[citation needed]
Toff and Khan would return to the series six years later to participate in I'm a Celebrity... South Africa alongside other former contestants to try to become the first I'm a Celebrity legend. Khan became the third celebrity to be eliminated. Toff was next to be eliminated alongside series 19 contestant Andy Whyment.
