Series chronology

The second series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here! was broadcast on ITV from 28 April to 12 May 2003.

Ant & Dec presented the main show on ITV, whilst Mark Durden-Smith and former contestant Tara Palmer-Tomkinson hosted the spin-off show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here... Now! on ITV2. Live streaming was introduced for the first time this series and was broadcast overnight on ITV2.[1]

The winner of this series was former English cricketer Phil Tufnell, who overcame John Fashanu and Linda Barker in the final.[2][3][4] Tufnell would return to the series twenty 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. Tuffnell finished fourth but was the highest placed former winner.

The series was sponsored by the energy drink V.[5]
