Concetta Caristo has been crowned Queen of the Jungle in the Grand Finale of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2026, taking home $100,000 for her chosen charity, Full Stop Australia.

In a closely fought finale, Concetta triumphed over fellow finalists Gary Sweet and Luke Bateman after several weeks in camp marked by physical trials, emotional moments and audience votes.

“They’re one of the nation’s leading support services for people affected by domestic, family, and sexual violence and services like these are so important for people who are affected by violence. I know that personally because a service like that changed my life, my mum and my sister’s, and I plan on supporting services like this for my entire life”, Concetta said about her chosen charity.

Speaking to hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris ahead of the announcement, Concetta reflected on her experience in the jungle.

“I just want to make people happy, and I just want to be happy. Like, how lucky am I... where I get to be with who I’m with, what I’m doing. To me, I have to be positive. There’s so much to be grateful for, there’s so much to be excited about.”

She also said the show was about challenging herself.

“The whole reason I’m here is to push through and to tell myself I can do this, and push through the fear. Otherwise, what’s the literal point?”
