According to The Sun, these famous faces will be entering the jungle later this month: … Despite the show historically beginning on a Sunday night, this year's start date has been delayed slightly until Monday 16th November. This change is due to ITV/STV broadcasting the UEFA Nations League match between England and Spain on Sunday 15th November. As usual, I'm A Celeb will air every night at 9pm on ITV1/STV1 and ITVX/STV Player. Tony Blackburn was the first celebrity to win the show back in 2002.
Ah, the time has come again for us to watch celebrities voluntarily throw themselves into the wilds of Australia, living off questionable food and battling their deepest fears—all for our entertainment. Yes, folks, the 2026 season of “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” is just around the corner, and the lineup is as juicy as a ripe mango (or, you know, a bug that might be on the menu).
This season promises a delightful mix of personalities, including a Coronation Street star, a Victoria’s Secret model, and none other than football legend Wayne Rooney. Yes, you heard that right! The man who once dribbled his way into our hearts is now dribbling into the jungle. Who knew the jungle would be the next big step in his career?
So, let’s break down the lineup that has everyone buzzing. First up, we have our beloved Coronation Street star. Now, if you’ve ever watched the show, you know that these actors are no strangers to dramatic situations. Let’s just say they’ve had their fair share of on-screen and off-screen drama, so a few spiders and a lack of Wi-Fi should be a walk in the park for them.
Next, we have a Victoria’s Secret model. Because nothing says “survival” quite like someone who’s used to walking on runways in heels. I can already picture her attempting to strut through the jungle while dodging snakes and trying to convince the other contestants that eating bugs is a new health trend. This should be a sight to see!
And then there’s Wayne Rooney. The man, the myth, the footballing legend. I can only imagine how many times he’ll have to remind his fellow campmates that he’s not just a pretty face; he’s got skills. Will he kick a football at a snake? Who knows! But I’m sure he’ll bring some competitive spirit to the camp, which may or may not involve a penalty shootout with the local wildlife.
The show will be hosted, as always, by the dynamic duo, Ant and Dec. These two have become the heart and soul of the show, and let’s be honest, they could probably survive in the jungle themselves. Just picture it: Ant and Dec versus a bunch of angry kangaroos. I’d pay to see that!
The show is set to start airing in the coming weeks, and you know what that means—time to stock up on snacks and prepare to binge-watch the chaos unfold. Because who doesn’t want to see a bunch of celebrities grapple with their fears and maybe eat a few bugs along the way? It’s the perfect combination of reality TV and nature documentary.
So, grab your remote and settle in for what promises to be another wild ride down under. Who will emerge as the king or queen of the jungle? Will Wayne Rooney manage to keep his cool in the face of creepy crawlies? And will the Coronation Street star finally get the chance to showcase their survival skills? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: we’re in for a treat!
Stay tuned, folks. The jungle awaits!
