I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! fans have been left puzzled after noticing a 'change' to the popular programme following its cast reveal. ITV has at last announced this year's line-up of well-known personalities ahead of the new series launching on Monday (November 16) at 9pm.
Notable participants include football legend Wayne Rooney, who will be appearing alongside Big Brother host AJ Odudu, YouTuber Sharky, and former Paralympian Ade Adepitan. While audiences are eager to discover how these famous faces will cope with undertaking Bushtucker trials and surviving in the wilderness, they have issued a complaint about the promotional footage released by ITV.
Fans Question the New Theme Tune
On Tuesday (November 10), the channel posted a brief video showcasing the 2026 contestants on social media platforms. The footage featured a different theme tune, which has sparked concern amongst fans that the programme has abandoned its cherished opening music.
Commenting on I'm A Celebrity's TikTok account, one fan pleaded: "Please don't say this is the new intro song," reports the Daily Star. The remark has garnered over 400 likes at the time of writing.
Another person noticed the unfamiliar tune and questioned, "What is this song choice?" A third fan responded, "If they changed the theme song, I might never watch this again." And a fourth concurred: "No, same, I will be so mad." Yet another sharp-eared fan questioned: "What is this music..".
Fans Still Excited for the Line-Up
Of course, the social media footage doesn't automatically indicate ITV has replaced the original I'm A Celebrity theme tune. However, it has raised alarm bells among audiences, given that last year's line-up was revealed using a comparable video, which incorporated the familiar theme tune.
Despite reservations regarding the programme's musical choices, fans remain "excited" to see the celebrities tackle life in the jungle. One viewer posted online: "Brilliant line-up," while another concurred: "Decent cast to be fair." A further viewer commented: "So excited for this year ! ! I've known so many of the celebrities these last few years."
Wayne Rooney Expected to Win
It appears numerous viewers are anticipating Manchester United icon Wayne to claim this year's title. "Rooney will win, I'm telling you already," remarked one Instagram user. While a fan on Reddit concurred: "I mean surely Wayne's winning right? I'm not even a football fan, but anyone and everyone knows who Wayne Rooney is, right?".
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! starts Monday 16th November at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX & STV Player.
