Study: Predicted I’m a Celebrity 2020 Winner Based on Previous Series Stats

I’m a Celeb is back on our screens for 2020 – albeit with a new format to adhere to travel restrictions. With this series being held in Wales due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Neo Online team decided to analyse various data points on previous I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here contestants – including their celebrity type, gender, which series they were on, their age during the series they were on, and which position they came in – in a bid to predict the 2020 winner. Read on to find out more…
