‘I'm A Celeb 2026': Lineup, when it starts, what to expect - Geo News

As little as weeks away from the return of "I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!," the full lineup for the 2026 show has allegedly been leaked, promising an all-star cast of former sports stars, soap opera actors, and internet celebrities heading to the jungles of Australia.

The latest information comes from a report in The Sun, which claims that the 12 celebrities participating in this year’s show include some really big names. Football superstar Wayne Rooney is said to be the show's biggest ever signing since his wife Coleen, who came second in 2024.

The rumored campmates consist of a diverse mix of talent. Paralympic athlete Ade Adepitan is likely to become the first contestant using a wheelchair, as the production company at ITV has modified the camp to suit his disability.

Although ITV hasn't announced when exactly the new season is set to start, it's likely to begin within the next few days. Ant and Dec will be back to host the celebrity-filled event, with the celebrities starting to arrive in Australia soon. An official cast announcement is imminent.

It seems that viewers should prepare themselves for the usual harsh Bushtucker trials, with the rumor that this season's location will comprise a huge “House of Horrors.” With Wayne Rooney and internet sensation Sharky and Chloe Burrows among others, it seems that the show wants to attract both older and younger viewers.

According to ITV, “Any names suggested for I'm A Celebrity are just speculation.”
