I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! returns on Monday 16 November 2026 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX. The 26th series is in Australia again, with Ant and Dec hosting, and is expected to run for three weeks.
The campmates
- Wayne Rooney, footballer and pundit
- Chloe Burrows, TV personality and radio DJ
- Ricky Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs singer
- Joanna Page, Gavin & Stacey actor
- Ade Adepitan, Paralympian and presenter
- Sharky, Beta Squad content creator
- AJ Odudu, TV presenter
- Jack Skipper, comedian
- Leomie Anderson, model
- Claire Sweeney, actor
- Mariella Frostrup, broadcaster and journalist
The companion show, I'm a Celebrity... Unpacked, is back on ITV2 and ITVX with Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers.
Rooney's camp
The biggest name is the obvious one. England's former record goalscorer brings a lifetime of dressing rooms to a camp built on food arguments and Bushtucker Trials. Joanna Page and Claire Sweeney bring acting experience, and Ricky Wilson has handled a talent show panel before.
Who wins the vote?
Viewers decide who stays, and the public vote has a habit of rewarding the campmate who looks most like themselves on screen rather than the biggest name. Watch out for fake voting texts, which turn up every series: vote only through the official ITV app or numbers.
