All the celebrities rumoured to be on this year's I'm A Celebrity! Get Me Out Of Here

With the nights drawing colder and darker and the festive season upon us, it also marks the return of ITV's I'm A Celebrity.

The rumours around who will feature in this year's line-up continue to swirl. Although nothing has been confirmed officially, some of the same names keep cropping up.

The star-studded show is sure to be one of the biggest talking points in the office from November onwards this year.

But this year, it seems as if ITV have really pushed the boat out with some of the names rumoured to be joining Ant and Dec in Australia, with reports suggesting they might have their biggest name in history.

While we've seen the likes of Matt Hancock and Nigel Farage join the show in recent years, we've also seen the show branch out into the world of sport, with the likes of Jill Scott and Mo Farah both proving popular in recent years, while Harry Redknapp was of course named King of the Jungle.

And rumours around who is heading in for 2026 has heated up after ITV recently shared a first teaser, featuring hosts Ant and Dec leading a choir in an I'm a Celebrity-themed version of the '12 Days of Christmas'.

It is thought among this year's cast could be TV legend Jeremy Clarkson, amid talks he would be swapping the farm for down under.

Kaiser Chiefs' musician Ricky Wilson, Paralympian Ade Adepitan, presenter and Big Brother host AJ Odudu and Mis-Teeq's Su-Elise Nash are also rumoured names who could be heading to Australia.

And more recently, former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson had her name thrown into the ring.

There are also rumours that ITV have paid big money to bring former Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney to the jungle, after his wife Colleen came second on the 24th series.

If true, Rooney could become a multi-million pound signing for probably the fifth time in his life, which very few contestants before him can probably claim.

An insider previously told The Sun on Sunday: "Wayne is in advanced talks for I’m A Celebrity and if they secure him, he’ll be their biggest signing in the show’s history. ITV have been in negotiations with him for some time and are thrilled that they’ve reached this stage.

"Wayne wants to show their sons what their dad can do and has joked he’ll be giving Coleen a run for her money. He is really competitive and hates losing so will give I’m A Celebrity his all."

Also speculated to be appearing this year are Love Island star and Hits radio host Chloe Burrows, and Joanna Page from Gavin & Stacey.

Further rumoured names include Dancing on Ice's Christopher Dean, as well as Strictly Come Dancing's Nadiya Bychkova and also former star England cricketer Ben Stokes, and Sharmarke 'Sharky' Mohamud, online content creator and member of the British YouTube collective Beta Squad.

According to The Sun, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has agreed to take part in this year's I'm A Celeb, and he could be joined by fellow musician Su-Elise Nash, of Mis-Teeq.

We could also see the return of Olivia Attwood after she was included in the 2022 season but had to leave after just one day for medical checks.

There's certainly likely to be a lot of competition if the rumours are true but there could still be plenty of twists and turns in the cast between now and November.
