I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! fans have already thrown their support behind one of the famous faces heading to the jungle this year, branding them 'slept on' as the 2026 line-up was officially confirmed.
The new series of the ITV reality show kicks off on Monday night (November 16) at 9pm, with an extended 95-minute special on ITV1 and on ITVX, the broadcaster's streaming platform.
2026 campmates confirmed
Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly will return as hosts, and while campmates have already been seen arriving in Australia, the 2026 line-up was confirmed on Tuesday evening (November 10).
This year's campmates include Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, former Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page, Paralympian and broadcaster Ade Adepitan, supermodel Leomie Anderson, YouTuber and content creator Sharky, TV presenter AJ Odudu, comedian Jack Skipper, Love Islander Chloe Burrows and broadcaster Mariella Frostrup.
Joanna Page emerges as fan-favourite
Joanna, famed for playing Stacey Shipman in the hit BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey, has emerged as an early fan-favourite. @courtney_murphy21 said: "Joanna Page for the win!!" @alblunds commented: "y'all sleeping on Joanna Page, she's gonna get very far." @spoodwrap replied: "Forreal. Shes definitely one of my favourites besides Rooney and Sharky." @uhhh.niamhhh added: "JOANNA FOR QUEEN."
The series will air every night until early December, when the final is expected to take place and a new King or Queen of the Jungle will be crowned, following in the footsteps of 2025 champion Angry Ginge, the YouTuber from Salford.
Page on her jungle experience
The 49-year-old, who has four children with husband actor James Thornton, said she jumped at the chance to appear on the show and hopes it will give her time to be herself rather than a mother.
She said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm very much an impulsive person and I just make a gut decision, so I said 'yes' straight away. For the first couple of days in Australia, I'm sure I am going to be going, 'Nobody is saying 'mummy I'm hungry'. I won't have four kids to get ready for the school run.'
"But after a while, I'm sure I will be like, 'I've got peace and time for my thoughts'. I can be me; I can be Jo and not just mummy all the time. I think that will be nice. I will never get to do anything like this again. I am telling myself, 'Come on Jo, let's take yourself off to Australia and give yourself an experience'. It's exciting and it's going to be life-changing."
