The show's title, which translates to "I'm a celebrity... get me out of here!", is a nod to the popular British show "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!". The Finnish version has been broadcast on MTV3 since 2006 and has gained a significant following. In this paper, we will focus on Season 09 of the show.
