The full line-up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2026 has reportedly been revealed, with former England footballer Wayne Rooney and comedian Leigh Francis among the names set to enter the Australian jungle. The Sun has seemingly confirmed who will be heading to the wilderness this November, with big names from the worlds of football, reality, TV, soap, and social media.
Wayne Rooney and Leigh Francis lead the rumoured campmates
Wayne Rooney, 40, is reportedly following in the footsteps of his wife, Coleen, who entered the jungle two years ago and came second. A source previously said that if secured, he would be the 'biggest signing in the show's history'. When quizzed on This Morning at the end of September, the pundit remained coy, saying: 'There's rumours again this year. So you'll have to wait and see.'
Leigh Francis, 53, better known as Keith Lemon, is reportedly making a return to television for a taste of jungle life. Hosts Ant and Dec previously backed the comedian's signing, telling listeners on their Hanging Out podcast: 'If we got Leigh Francis in the jungle… and we had to stand by and watch him do a trial, let's try and make that happen.'
Reality stars and sports personalities in the mix
AJ Odudu, 38, has reportedly been 'keen as mustard' to get onto the reality series. Ricky Wilson, 48, the Kaiser Chiefs frontman, is seemingly set to don an Australian bush hat after reportedly being high on bosses' wish list 'for years'. Sports personality Ade Adepitan, 53, was reportedly in 'advanced talks' to join the jungle as far back as July, which would make him the first-ever wheelchair user to do so.
Social media signing Sharky, 30, a member of the YouTube collective Beta Squad, is also reported to be joining. Chloe Burrows, 30, who found fame on Love Island in 2021, is thought to have met with bosses 'several times'.
Soap stars and presenters complete the reported line-up
Joanna Page, 49, of Gavin and Stacey fame, was recently said to be a 'hugely popular' name among execs. Mariella Frostrop, 63, a journalist and presenter, has been dubbed a 'really prestige signing'. Model Leomie Anderson, 33, who walked in four consecutive Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows from 2015 to 2018, is also reported to be taking part.
Soap star Claire Sweeney, 55, is swapping the Coronation Street cobbles for life Down Under, having reportedly cleared her acting schedule. Completing the line-up is Jack Skipper, a stand-up comedian who appeared in ITV2's The Stand Up Sketch Show.
When contacted for comment, an ITV spokesperson told Metro that any names are 'just speculation'. I'm A Celebrity 2026 will return to ITV on Monday, November 16.
