The rumoured line-up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here 2026 includes Wayne Rooney, Jesy Nelson and Nadiya Bychkova, with the ITV series returning in November.
The Ant and Dec-hosted reality show sees celebrities face challenges in the Australian wilderness. Last year's series featured Martin Kemp, Vogue Williams, Aitch and Jack Osbourne, while the spring All Stars edition saw drama including Gemma Collins' brief stint and numerous feuds.
Wayne Rooney in 'advanced talks'
Former England footballer Wayne Rooney could follow his wife Coleen, who finished second in the jungle two years ago. A source told The Sun on Sunday he was in 'advanced talks' to sign on, which would make him the 'biggest signing in the show's history'. When asked on This Morning in late September, Rooney said: 'There's rumours again this year. So you'll have to wait and see.'
Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, 35, has reportedly held meetings with ITV bosses over a six-figure deal. A source told The Sun that 'talks are at a very promising stage', adding that Nelson wants to raise awareness of spinal muscular atrophy type 1, which her twin daughters were diagnosed with.
Gavin and Stacey star and Mis-Teeq icon rumoured
Joanna Page, 49, who played Stacey in Gavin and Stacey, is said to be in 'advanced talks'. A source told The Sun that 'all signs are looking positive' and that bosses are keen to sign the 'hugely popular' BBC star.
Mis-Teeq's Su-Elise Nash, 45, is also rumoured. The group are reuniting for a Wembley show this autumn to mark the 25th anniversary of their debut album. A source told The Sun: 'There have been early talks for her to be considered.' Nash almost took part in 2008.
Strictly Come Dancing pro Nadiya Bychkova, 36, could join after leaving the BBC series following nine years. An insider told The Sun: 'Now she's a free agent, the offers have been coming in thick and fast.'
Skating star and sports names in the mix
Olympic skating champion Christopher Dean, one half of Torvill and Dean, is reportedly in talks with ITV producers. A source said he has 'met with producers a few times already to talk through being a campmate for this year's standard Australian series.'
Big Brother co-host AJ Odudu, 38, is reportedly 'keen as mustard' to sign up, while Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has 'finally given in' after years of approaches, according to an insider. Sports personality Ade Adepitan was reported to be in 'advanced talks' as far back as July, which would make him the first wheelchair user on the show. England cricket star Ben Stokes, who announced his retirement earlier this year, is 4/1 with Ladbrokes to appear.
Last year, livestreamer AngryGinge was crowned King of the Jungle. 'I feel amazing. Honestly, (it is a) dream come true,' he said at the time. I'm A Celebrity returns this November on ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
