I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! might be four months away, but there are already a whole host of names rumoured to be appearing.
With the BBC’s The Celebrity Traitors drawing big names, pressure is mounting on ITV to deliver a standout line-up.
I’m A Celebrity, which started in 2002, is now on its 26th series, and Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will once again return to host proceedings from the Australian jungle.
The lineup is expected to feature the usual array of TV presenters, soap stars and reality show personalities.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! rumoured contestants for 2026
Christopher Dean
Christopher Dean, one half of the legendary skating duo Torvill & Dean, is rumoured to be in talks following the cancellation of Dancing on Ice in 2025.
Producers have reportedly approached the 67-year-old in previous years, but his recent retirement from skating may make him a serious contender this time around.
Nadiya Bychkova
Strictly Come Dancing’s Nadiya Bychkova has also been linked to the show after being dropped from the BBC line-up.
However, Bychkova has said she is still involved with Strictly in other capacities, casting doubt on whether she’ll make the trip to Australia.
Su-Elise Nash
Su-Elise Nash, formerly of girl group Mis-Teeq, is another name in the mix.
The 45-year-old is reuniting with bandmates Alesha Dixon and Sabrina Washington for a one-off show in September and could head to the jungle a few months later.
An insider reportedly told The Sun: “The timing couldn’t be better.”
Ben Stokes
Ex-England cricketer Ben Stokes, who retired from the international side of the game in June, has also been mentioned.
He is now one of the favourites to make an appearance on the show.
Perri Kiely
Perri Kiely, 30, from the dance group Diversity, has previously turned down multiple offers to appear on the show.
However, he recently said on the podcast Brothers Uncovered that he would consider it if his schedule allowed.
Olivia Attwood
The former Love Island star, 35, is going to be on I’m A Celebrity rumours lists forevermore after being forced to quit the series after just one day in 2022.
She left the show “as a precautionary measure” in order to “undergo some medical checks”, and has since suggested she’d return to the show if her busy schedule permitted.
ITV has not confirmed any official contestants.
