Following the massive success of I'm A Celebrity South Africa, attention now turns to who will feature in the traditional series later this year. The Ant and Dec-hosted survival reality show pushes celebrities to their limits in the Australian wilderness, where they face daunting trials involving creepy crawlies and dangerous animals.
Last year's camp included Martin Kemp, Vogue Williams, Aitch, and Jack Osbourne. Producers aim to create onscreen magic with the new cohort, especially after the dramatic events on I'm A Celebrity All Stars, from Gemma Collins' brief stint to numerous feuds.
Who Is Rumoured for I'm A Celeb 2026?
Su-Elise Nash
The line-up traditionally includes a noughties icon, and this year it could be Mis-Teeq star Su-Elise Nash, 45. She rose to fame with the girl group alongside Alesha Dixon and Sabrina Washington, with their single Scandalous reaching number two in 2003. The group disbanded in 2005 but is reuniting for a 25th anniversary show at Wembley this autumn. If she joins, she follows bandmate Sabrina, who appeared in the jungle in 2009. A source told The Sun: 'Su was incredibly supportive of Sabrina's jungle experience, and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered. The reunion has reminded everyone just how much love there still is for Mis-Teeq.' Nash almost participated in 2008, so this would be her second chance.
Nadiya Bychkova
Strictly Come Dancing pro Nadiya Bychkova, 36, could swap the dance floor for the jungle. She shocked fans with her exit from the BBC series after nine years amid a major cast shakeup. With Strictly and I'm A Celebrity both filmed live, this is her first opportunity to join. An insider told The Sun: 'Nadiya has always been on the radar but has been unable to take part because of her commitment to Strictly. Now she's a free agent, the offers have been coming in thick and fast. She's had a number of chats about doing the jungle. Bosses are so impressed with her, it's even been suggested she turns down other shows.' After her departure, she teased on social media that her journey with the show 'isn't over'.
When Is I'm A Celebrity 2026 Expected to Air?

Who Won I'm A Celebrity 2025?
Last year, livestreamer and football influencer AngryGinge was crowned King of the Jungle after tough bush tucker trials. He said: 'I feel amazing. Honestly, (it is a) dream come true. I did not think I'd go all this way, never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted.' Tom Wilson and Shona McGarty came second and third, respectively. Meanwhile, Adam Thomas was dubbed 'ultimate jungle legend' after a turbulent all-stars version.
