Yahoo News Was I'm A Celebrity 2018 the best series ever?
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has wrapped up for another year and, now that the dust has settled, we've all had the chance to look back at the series as a whole and take stock of everything that went on in the jungle in 2018.
Once Harry Redknapp was crowned King of the Jungle, viewers watching at home (usually TV's harshest critics, well known for disliking everything) took to Twitter to share their opinions.
And they actually liked this series! Like, a lot.
Plenty of fans claimed this series was the best in years, with some even saying it was their favourite ever, citing Holly Willoughby's presenting partnership with Declan Donnelly, the lack of scripted reality TV stars in the line-up, and the fact the campmates genuinely got on and didn't argue.
This years #ImACeleb was one of the best series ever: Genuine friendships, body positivity, John Barrowman singing his way through jungle life, autism awareness, Harry and Sandra to name a few! #imacelebrity 👏🏻

This season of #ImACeleb has honestly been the best in years:
- No drama
- Raising awareness of the struggles autistic people face
- Good ‘ol Biffy Clyro
This season’s had it all- Sam (@samshawmedia) December 10, 2018
No coincidence there were no reality/you tube stars, no relatives of famous people and lots of big names this year it made for a better show. Well done ITV same again next year please #ImACeleb

I have to say that this has been my favourite ever series of I'm A Celebrity. It's so much better when there's a good bunch with no proper arguments! And congrats to Harry, well deserved! #ImACeleb

If we were ITV, we'd definitely pack next year's camp full of people who could be considered national treasures one day (Harry, John Barrowman), genuinely funny people (Emily Atack, Fleur East), and someone really clever who can educate people on important issues without sounding condescending.
After all, this series attracted an average of 12.2 million viewers and has officially become the highest rating series of I'm A Celeb in the show's history, so they must have been doing something right.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2018 aired on ITV. The Coming Out Show will air on Wednesday, December 12 at 9pm.
