Wayne Rooney, a former Love Island star and a Gavin & Stacey favourite are among the 12 famous faces reportedly heading Down Under for the latest series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The Sun reports that the full line-up for the ITV reality show has been revealed, with celebrities from the worlds of sport, television, music, modelling and social media preparing to swap their home comforts for life in the Australian jungle.
Ant and Dec are expected to return as hosts, with the new series tipped to begin on November 16 and contestants facing a fresh batch of gruelling Bushtucker Trials.
Reported Stars and Their Backgrounds
ITV has yet to officially confirm the names, with a spokesperson previously saying that any suggested contestants are speculation. Here is everything to know about the 12 stars reportedly entering the jungle, listed alphabetically.
Paralympian and television presenter Ade Adepitan could make history as the first wheelchair user to take part in I'm A Celebrity. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, the 53-year-old contracted polio as a toddler, which affected the use of his left leg, before moving to the UK with his family aged three. He went on to become an accomplished wheelchair basketball player, winning bronze at the 2004 Athens Paralympics and gold at the 2005 Paralympic World Cup.
Born in Blackburn, AJ Odudu first made her name presenting Big Brother's Bit on the Side in 2013, before going on to host a string of entertainment programmes. She is now best known as one of the presenters of ITV's Big Brother reboot, alongside Will Best.
Love Island and Soap Stars in the Mix
Love Island star Chloe Burrows shot to fame on the ITV2 dating show's seventh series in 2021, where she coupled up with Toby Aromolaran. Since leaving the villa, the 30-year-old has built a career as a social media personality, podcast host and television presenter.
Actress and singer Claire Sweeney is reportedly among the famous faces preparing to swap the cobbles for the jungle. The Liverpool-born star first became a household name playing Lindsey Corkhill in Channel 4 soap Brookside, before joining Coronation Street as Cassie Plummer in 2023.
Stand-up comedian Jack Skipper is reportedly among the less familiar names on this year's list. Hailing from south London, he previously worked as a carpet fitter before pursuing comedy full-time, building a following through his relatable observations about working-class life and family.
Comedy and Music Names
Welsh actress Joanna Page is best known for playing Stacey Shipman in the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey, opposite Mathew Horne. The hit comedy ran for three series between 2007 and 2010, before returning for festive specials in 2019 and 2024, with its final episode attracting a huge audience on Christmas Day. Away from Barry Island, Page has appeared in films including Love Actually and Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger.
Comedian Leigh Francis is best known for his outrageous television alter ego Keith Lemon, who became a familiar face on British television through shows including Celebrity Juice and Through the Keyhole. The 53-year-old first rose to prominence with Channel 4's sketch show Bo' Selecta!, which featured a series of celebrity impressions and characters.
London-born model Leomie Anderson is reportedly among the biggest fashion names on this year's line-up. She made history in 2019 when she became the first Black British Victoria's Secret Angel, having previously walked in several of the brand's famous fashion shows.
Broadcasters and Football Royalty
Broadcaster and journalist Mariella Frostrup could be one of the more unexpected additions to the jungle. The Norwegian-born presenter has enjoyed a career spanning more than four decades, becoming a familiar voice and face across British television, radio and print journalism.
Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson is reportedly swapping the stage for the jungle after years of being approached by show bosses. The singer rose to fame with the Leeds indie rock band, whose biggest hits include I Predict a Riot, Ruby and Oh My God. Wilson is no stranger to television, having served as a coach on BBC talent competition The Voice UK between 2014 and 2016.
YouTuber Sharky, whose real name is Sharmarke Mohamud, could be one of the younger stars bringing a sizeable online following to the jungle. He is a member of Beta Squad, the popular British content creator collective known for its comedy, challenges and prank videos.
Former England captain Wayne Rooney is arguably the biggest sporting name reportedly heading into the jungle. The 41-year-old enjoyed a glittering football career, playing for Everton and Manchester United, where he became the club's all-time leading goalscorer, as well as representing England 120 times. His reported appearance would follow in the footsteps of his wife Coleen, who finished runner-up on I'm A Celebrity in 2024, becoming one of that series' most popular contestants.
