I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! will return to ITV on Monday, November 16 at 9pm, with Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly back as hosts for the show's 26th series.
The new series was pushed back from its usual Sunday debut slot after reports that the original planned start date of Sunday, November 15 was moved due to ITV's coverage of the UEFA Nations League. England are due to play Spain in Madrid, with an 8.45pm kick-off time.
Festive trailer and spin-off show
The first trailer for the 2026 edition saw Ant and Dec take centre stage as festive conductors, putting a choir of carol singers through their paces as they attempted a rendition of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' with an I'm A Celeb-style twist. Gold rings and turtle doves were swapped for 'vomit smoothies' and 'two tonnes of mud' as the seven-piece choir, dressed in Christmas jumpers, endured wave after wave of bushtucker terror.
"Isn't it the most wonderful time of the year," Dec ended the promo.
Spin-off series I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked will also return, presented by former King of the Jungle Sam Thompson and Capital DJ Kemi Rodgers, airing on ITV2 after the main show.
Rumoured line-up for 2026
The line-up had not been officially confirmed by ITV at the time of writing. According to reports, Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, former Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney, Gavin and Stacey favourite Joanna Page and Paralympian Ade Adepitan are expected to appear in camp this year.
It is also reported that Victoria's Secret model Leomie Anderson, Love Island star Chloe Burrows, YouTuber Sharky, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, comedian and TV star Leigh Francis and stand-up comic Jack Skipper are all set to head Down Under for the new series.
The last series saw social media star Angry Ginge crowned king of the jungle, with Celebs Go Dating's Tom Read Wilson finishing second and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty coming third.
