I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (British series 15)
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returned for its fifteenth series on 15 November 2015 on ITV. It was the first year for its new three-year contract, as confirmed by Ant & Dec at the end of the Coming Out show on 10 December 2014.
On 11 October 2015, a 5-second teaser aired on ITV for the first time, with more short trailers following, with Ant & Dec yelling "Let's get ready to jungle!", a pun on their well-known song "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble".
Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison won the show on [|6] December 2015, with Union J singer George Shelley finishing runner up.
This was the second time that a late-entry contestant had won the show, the first being Christopher Biggins in 2007.
Ant & Dec both returned as presenters of the main show, whilst Joe Swash and Laura Whitmore returned to present the ITV2 spin-off show, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! NOW!, alongside David Morgan, who replaced Rob Beckett.

Results and elimination
Bushtucker trials
The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food. These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. The winner is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates. As of 2014, the public voted for who took part in the trials via the I'm a Celebrity... app, from iOS devices. From 2015, the public cannot vote via phone, and can also vote via Android devices.Trial number | Air date | Name of trial | Celebrity participation | Public vote | Winner/Number of stars | Notes |

Dingo Dollar challenges
Members from camp will take part in the challenge to win 'Dingo Dollars'. If they win them then they can then take the dollars to the 'Outback Shack', where they can exchange them for camp luxuries with Kiosk Keith. Two options are given and the celebrities can choose which they would like to win. However, to win their luxury, a question is asked to the celebrities still in camp via the telephone box. If the question is answered correctly, the celebrities can take the items back to camp. If wrong, they receive nothing and Kiosk Keith will close the shack.Episode | Air date | Celebrities | Prizes available | Prize chosen | Notes |

Jungle Vending Machine
This year was the first ever time that a jungle vending machine was introduced. It was also the final time, as it has not returned since. It was introduced in the 2nd episode, which Lady C and Yvette took part in. Lady C refused to take part, but Yvette was still allowed to. Due to her success in spelling out the correct word, which was later confirmed as 'Kangaroo', the celebrities received a key to unlock a door, which revealed a vending machine.Celebrity | Episode | Date | Item Chosen | |
