I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! (abbreviated as I’m a Celeb ) stands as one of the most successful unscripted entertainment formats of the 21st century, originating in the United Kingdom (ITV, 2002) and spawning dozens of international versions. Among these adaptations, the Greek edition— I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Greece (Greek: I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Ελλάδα )—premiered with its first season in 2023.
