Following the success of I'm A Celebrity South Africa, speculation is mounting over the line-up for the traditional series later this year. The Ant and Dec-hosted survival reality show challenges celebrities in the Australian wilderness, with tasks involving creepy crawlies and dangerous animals.
Rumoured Campmates for I'm A Celebrity 2026
Su-Elise Nash, 45, formerly of Mis-Teeq, is tipped to enter the jungle. The group's single 'Scandalous' reached number two in 2003. Mis-Teeq disbanded in 2005 but are reuniting for a 25th anniversary show at Wembley this autumn. A source told The Sun: 'Su was incredibly supportive of Sabrina's jungle experience, and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered.' Nash almost participated in 2008.
Strictly Come Dancing pro Nadiya Bychkova, 36, could swap the dance floor for the jungle after leaving the BBC series following a cast shakeup. An insider said: 'Nadiya has always been on the radar but has been unable to take part because of her commitment to Strictly. Now she's a free agent, the offers have been coming in thick and fast.' She hinted on social media that her journey with the show 'isn't over'.
Christopher Dean, half of Olympic skating duo Torvill and Dean, is also rumoured. Dean won gold at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics and later judged on ITV's Dancing on Ice until its cancellation in 2025. A source told The Sun: 'He's always been adamant the jungle isn't for him. When bosses came knocking this year, he saw it in a different light. He's recently retired and is looking for a new challenge.'
When is I'm A Celebrity 2026 Expected to Air?
