Who is in I’m A Celebrity this year?

I’m A Celebrity is days away, and now we know the 10 singers, comedians, actors, athletes and more heading into the jungle.

Here is the full lineup of confirmed campmates for 2026.

Martin Kemp

Spandau Ballet musician Martin Kemp is following in son Roman’s footsteps by heading into the jungle.

Earlier this week, his performance at the Fubar nightclub was cancelled, with the venue reportedly posting a cryptic cancellation announcement with all signs pointing towards the jungle.

In his interview before the show, Martin admitted rats are sure to send a ‘shudder’ through his body and he’s ‘not very good with heights,’ but his radio presenter son encouraged him to take part.

‘I’ve had to cancel some jobs but when Roman was on I’m A Celebrity…, I was addicted. I watched it every day and enjoyed it so much. I felt it was now time in my life for an adventure,’ he said.

‘I have been on this journey of DJ’ing over the last five years, it has been non-stop and I thought it was time to give something back to myself.’

He admitted he’s a huge fan of the show, while Roman has urged him to ‘enjoy it all’.

Martin added: ‘He told me to go in and enjoy it all. He said it’s the most fun he has ever had and he said, “I am really jealous; I know how much fun you are going to have.” ‘

Jack Osbourne

Jack Osbourne has officially joined I’m A Celebrity, and he’s got the backing of mum Sharon and sister Kelly.

‘Mum and Kelly, yeah they are absolutely going to be watching. They are supportive,’ he said, although the star – who rose to fame alongside his famous family on The Osbournes over two decades ago – admitted he ‘definitely had to think’ before signing on.

‘It’s an absolute commitment but the real reason why it is popular is people sit at home saying, “Could I do that?”,’ he pointed out. ‘So I think a lot of why I’ve said “yes” is the intrigue and how would I survive that? I am very nervous though.’

Jack isn’t sure if what side of him will come out in the camp, even after having to play peacemaker at times on The Osbournes, as his temper sometimes flares when he’s ‘worn out’.

‘I don’t know! It will be case by case, but generally I am a pretty positive person,’ he added.

Meanwhile, a source previously told The Sun: ‘Jack is very likely to discuss Ozzy, which will be an incredibly moving moment for the campmates and for viewers and fans of the adored rocker.’

Ruby Wax

Comedic icon Ruby Wax is ready for I’m A Celebrity.

The 72-year-old found fame as a brash comedian and interviewer through her celebrity interviews and documentaries in the 1990s, and now he’s excited to show another side to herself.

‘I’m not aggressive. I was stereotyped during my career,’ she explained. ‘I’d like to think I’m easy to get on with and I will be able to calm everyone down.’

Ruby insisted she’s ‘not scared of anything,’ but never felt like she would be much of a success on the show in the past.

‘I was offered the chance to take part a long time ago and I thought, ‘No, I could never do that’, but now it’s the right time,’ she explained. ‘I like doing adventurous things. It will be nice for people to get to know the real me because you can’t hide in the jungle.’

Meanwhile, Ruby admitted she’s been preparing for a potential appearance in the iconic jungle shower.

‘I have been working out, as I don’t want to show my body the way it is. But I know you can wear a bra and pants. I have a sensational bra,’ she teased.

Kelly Brook

In a surprising U-turn after previously saying she would ‘never’ do the show, Kelly Brook has joined the cast of I’m A Celebrity, after being spotted arriving Down Under at Brisbane Airport.

”I have said I will never do I’m A Celebrity… several times. I didn’t think it was ever in me to do the challenges and Bushtucker Trials,’ she admitted.

However, doing the London Marathon and Race Across The World with her husband Jeremy Parisi has changed her mind.

She added: ‘I’m such a fan of the show that I thought, “Maybe I could do it, maybe I could cope.” I won’t know unless I try and so I am going to throw myself into it.’

Despite feeling brave now, Kelly admitted she’s ‘really petrified of heights’, but she’s ready to introduce herself to a ‘new audience’.

‘This show is watched by many different generations and some people won’t know me nor where I have come from,’ she added.

Like Ruby, she’s also ready to follow in the footsteps of Myleene Klass in the jungle shower.

‘It’s definitely an iconic moment, isn’t it? It’s scary but I have got lots of swimwear options,’ she said. ‘I will be packing some bikinis.’

Aitch

UK rapper Aitch, 25, is ready to make a mark on this year’s camp.

The award-winning musician has signed up for I’m A Celebrity and hopes to dispel the stereotype of an ‘obnoxious rapper who you can’t approach’.

‘It’s already unheard of to have a rapper from North Manchester. And so, if a rapper who goes on a side quest by going in the jungle and goes and wins it, well that will show you can do anything in life,’ he pointed out.

As well as encouraging young people, Aitch – who had to ‘cancel some gigs’ to make room in his schedule – is keen to ‘raise awareness for Down syndrome’, having opened up in his music about his sister Gracie.

She’ll be supporting him, as the rapper added: ‘My sister, Gracie loves [the show]. She will be sitting there cheering me on every time she sees me on the telly.’

Aitch is also keen to simply have a chance to ‘branch out’ and try new things.

‘You don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever. You can branch out and do other things. You don’t have to stick to the code (rap world), because you think that’s cool,’ he said.

‘I did have to cancel some gigs for it. But you are never going to branch out if you do the same thing all the time.’

Angry Ginge

Social media megastar Angry Ginge has gone from man of the match at Soccer Aid to I’m A Celebrity campmate.

With over three million fans across TikTok and Instagram, he certainly has the following, and his booking is a no-brainer after GK Barry’s success in 2024.

Despite not liking spiders, Angry Ginge had no hesitation when it came to saying yes for ‘a bucket list item’.

To take part in it this year is something I couldn’t pass up on,’ he said, while he acknowledged being without his phone will be a wakeup call.

‘I’ve been away once for a week. And so, two to three weeks without it
is going to be very educational to see how I will do,’ he admitted.

He’s also had to cut down on his daily energy drink consumption from two to one, and he’s a little nervous at the idea of sleeping outside.

He confessed: ‘The closest I’ve ever done to this is The Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award. And that didn’t go down well, so I haven’t got the best of confidence coming into this.

‘And the most people I have ever lived with are my mum and sister.’

Lisa Riley

Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley (or Mandy Dingle to soap fans) has been turning down I’m A Celeb for years – until now.

”They have asked me to be in it numerous times before – but now I’ve finally said “yes,”‘ she said, admitting her 50th birthday has played a big part in her U-turn.

‘I’m going to be 50 next year, it’s 30 years on and off playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale and 10 years of being sober. It’s like a big baguette where everything I wanted was in it,’ she added.

The joked heading to the jungle would make her ‘the best auntie in the world’, far more than all her NTA and Bafta prizes.

It won’t be easy though, as Lisa admitted he’s terrified of rats and the dark – but she’s been practicing to try and overcome her fears before she arrives in camp.

‘One of the prop girls at Emmerdale has two pet rats. We have been doing some “rat prep”. She brought them in for me to try and hold them,’ she said.

‘I’m also scared of the dark and I have been practicing with my partner, Al, walking around our home in the dark.’

That’s some serious commitment!

Shona McGarty

This year’s a big one for soap fans, with Shona McGarty also in the lineup after being see at Brisbane Airport.

The EastEnders actress left Albert Square in 2024 after 16 years on the BBC show, and she’s following in the footsteps of fellow EastEnders alumni such as Jacqueline Jossa and Charlie Brooks, who both went on to win the show – so no pressure!

‘For a long time, I’ve been hiding behind a character and I’ve only been known for it. This is going to be a chance to be my stupid self,’ she said.

‘Everyone expects me to wear massive gold hoop earrings and have a ponytail whilst eating chicken nuggets! But I am nothing like that.’

Shona – who isn’t looking forward to water-based trials ‘when they fill the tank up’ – admitted she might need some help settling at night.

‘I wear headphones at night and I listen to serial killer documentaries. I don’t know what that says about me, but it helps me to sleep randomly,’ she confessed. ‘Someone will have to tell me a scary story to get to sleep!’

From the sound of things, she might even need a hand getting into her bunk!

‘I also tried to get in a hammock as practice. I tied a bed sheet to my gazebo! It wasn’t good,’ she quipped.

Eddie Kadi

Bosses will be hoping comedian Eddie Kadi will light up the campsite with his trademark witty banter.

The funny man, who’s previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and is set to star on this year’s Celebrity Apprentice, is probably best known for his BBC Radio 1Xtra show.

‘Not to take it away from Strictly, as Strictly was really hard, but the jungle will be harder. You don’t get to interact with anyone other than your campmates,’ he said.

‘If things get a little emotional or frantic, you will have to deal with it and there is no escaping.’

He’s well placed to succeed though, having had some friends who have taken part in the past.

‘I have had a few friends who have done it like Oti Mabuse and Babatunde. They have all come back with such great stories,’ he added. ‘You only live once and I said “yes” immediately.’

However, he’s still scared of ‘all the creepy crawlies’, and he’s not looking forward to a pretty key part of the whole experience.

‘I am dreading the trials the most,’ he admitted.

Alex Scott

Alex Scott, the host of Football Focus and a former Lioness, Alex, is keen to go into the jungle to show a side of herself the public hasn’t seen before.

‘People have an idea of who I am on TV and so it will be nice
to show my real self,’ she pointed out.

She won’t be pressuring herself to follow in the footsteps of fellow Lioness Jill Scott, who was crowned Queen of the Jungle in 2022.

‘I haven’t even thought about winning the show either. You have had a Lioness. I have been retired a lot longer than Jill and in my head, she had that moment and it has been done,’ she said.

‘It would take a lot and if I did win, I would burst out crying. I don’t think I
would even expect it.’

Alex admitted her partner Jess Glynne thinks she’s ‘absolutely mental’ for signing up, but she’s got the backing of her loved ones.

‘She will be my biggest supporter, and my mum absolutely loves the show. Thinking of her tuning in every night will bring a tear,’ she added.

‘But I will need to push myself to speak out around all of the different and big personalities. Not going into myself for being the shy one will be my big challenge.’

Who won I’m A Celebrity 2024?

Last year’s I’m A Celebrity series proved to be massively popular with audiences.

In the end, Danny Jones, the singer from the band McFly, won the show.

He was crowned King of the Jungle after beating out Coleen Rooney and Reverend Richard Coles, who finished in second and third place, respectively.

Is there going to be another series of I’m A Celebrity All Stars?

Good news – ITV has confirmed series 2 of I’m A Celebrity All Stars is coming in 2026.

The broadcaster announced plans for another season of the spin-off earlier this month, with some of the most memorable campmates from the past set to return to the show.

They’ll be back in South Africa for fresh challenges and Bushtucker Trials, with Ant and Dec keeping an eye on all the action.

This time round, ITV has confirmed ‘the public will have the power to decide who is crowned the ultimate legend’ for 2026 with the final vote cast ‘in a live grand final broadcast direct from London’.

Dec said: ‘Having a live final is an exciting addition to the new series with the viewers choosing their IAC Legend and we’ve heard some of the new trials are truly epic, even by I’m A Celeb standards!’

The presenting pair, who just saw Gary Lineker upset their NTA winning streak for best presenter, are currently in South Africa filming the upcoming All Stars series.
