Ant and Dec are set to return with I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! from November 2026, and speculation is already mounting over which big names will enter the Australian jungle. The Mirror has rounded up the stars rumoured to be taking part in the upcoming series.
Wayne Rooney and AJ Odudu among rumoured contestants
Football legend Wayne Rooney could be about to sign up, two years after his wife Coleen finished as runner-up. It was recently claimed that bosses had been in "negotiations with him for some time," but on a recent appearance on This Morning, he said fans would "have to wait and see."
AJ Odudu, who currently fronts Big Brother with Will Best, could also become a contestant. A source said: "She's had early conversations about taking part and has made it clear she can absolutely make the dates they need her to."
Jesy Nelson, Ade Adepitan and Strictly stars linked
Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, 35, who last year gave birth to twin daughters Ocean and Story, both born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type 1, is also linked. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "Continuing to raise awareness around SMA for her girls is something Jesy is very keen to do, and she knows she can use a platform like I'm A Celebrity to reach millions."
Paralympian Ade Adepitan, 53, could be the first star in a wheelchair to enter the jungle, with show bosses reportedly working to adapt the camp. Nadiya Bychkova, who left Strictly Come Dancing last year, has also been "in talks" with show bosses, according to reports at the time.
Olivia Attwood, Su-Elise Nash, Ricky Wilson and Ben Stokes
Olivia Attwood, who withdrew from the jungle in 2022 on medical grounds after 24 hours, has previously said she would be open to returning. Su-Elise Nash could become the second member of Mis-Teeq to enter, after bandmate Sabrina Washington competed in 2009, and has apparently been in early talks following the group's reunion at the Capital Summertime Ball.
Kaiser Chiefs star Ricky Wilson, who has "always politely declined" the jungle in the past according to The Sun, could now have changed his mind. Cricketer Ben Stokes, who announced his retirement earlier this year, is also linked. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Ben Stokes could soon be swapping cricket for crickets, if the latest odds are anything to go by."
