Former England and Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney, Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page and YouTuber Sharky will be among the 11 celebrities entering the Australian jungle for this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
They will be joined by Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, Paralympian and presenter Ade Adepitan, actress Claire Sweeney and broadcaster Mariella Frostrup. Presenter AJ Odudu, comedian Jack Skipper, Love Island contestant Chloe Burrows and model Leomie Anderson complete the line-up.
Hosts Ant and Dec will return for the ITV show's opening episode on Monday, November 16. The series is now in its 26th year.
The 2026 line-up is Ade Adepitan, a Paralympian and documentary maker; Leomie Anderson, a model; Chloe Burrows, a Love Island finalist and podcast host; Mariella Frostrup, a broadcaster and author; AJ Odudu, a Big Brother presenter and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant; Joanna Page, who plays Stacey in Gavin and Stacey; Wayne Rooney, a former Everton, Manchester United and England striker turned manager and pundit; Sharky, a member of YouTube's Beta Squad, which has 12 million subscribers; Jack Skipper, a stand-up comedian and social media star; Claire Sweeney, a Coronation Street and Brookside star and musical actress; and Ricky Wilson, the Kaiser Chiefs singer and a former coach on The Voice UK.
Rooney is following in the footsteps of his wife Coleen, who was runner-up in 2024. "If you're going in you want to win it," he said. "Coleen's already tried and obviously she finished second in the show so I'm here to bring that title back to the Rooney household." He said jumping out of a helicopter is his biggest fear. "I don't like snakes or what is in the water either," he said. "I don't go in the sea."
Adepitan will be the first wheelchair user in the show's history. Producers are making adaptations to the Australian jungle camp so it is accessible for him. In a press statement he said it is "a moment in time." "Even if I go out in the first week, I will always be remembered as the person in a wheelchair," he said. "I am slightly overwhelmed. It's never been done before, and it never crossed my mind I would be the first."
