The 26th series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! returns to our screens on Monday (November 16th), sounding the starting gun on three weeks of Bushtucker Trials and celebrity meltdowns in the Australian jungle.
The celebrities will kiss goodbye to their mobile phones, internet, social media and television as they swap the comforts of home for three weeks of eating animal testicles, being covered in creepy crawlies and confronting their worst fears.
Former England and Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney is the biggest name and early favourite to be crowned the 2026 King of the Jungle – and go one better than his wife Coleen, who finished runner-up in 2024.
But who are the celebrities taking part in the 26th series of I’m a Celebrity, once again hosted by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly?
3. Joanna Page
Actress Joanna Page wants to become the first Welsh Queen of the Jungle – and prove her four doubting children wrong in the process.
Best known for playing Stacey in the hit sitcom Gavin & Stacey, she has also presented several TV series, including Shift the Thrift and Shop Well for Less.
The 49-year-old is married to fellow actor James Thornton and admitted to being both ‘terrified and excited’ on the eve of entering the jungle.
Perhaps worryingly, her biggest fear is spiders – something that has raised a few eyebrows among her children.
- The other celebrities taking part are Ade Adepitan, Leomie Anderson, Chloe Burrows, Mariella Frostrup, AJ Odudu, Wayne Rooney, Sharky, Jack Skipper, Claire Sweeney and Ricky Wilson.
