I'm a Celebrity camp adapted for Ade Adepitan in 2026

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 16:01 · Archive

The I'm a Celebrity camp in Australia has been specially adapted to make it more accessible for Paralympian Ade Adepitan.

The I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here camp in Australia has been specially adapted to make it more accessible for presenter and Paralympian Ade Adepitan ahead of the 2026 series, which begins on 16 November. The 53-year-old is one of 11 new celebrities taking part, along with Wayne Rooney, Joanna Page and Chloe Burrows. The production team worked with Adepitan, who visited the camp earlier this year to identify which areas required adaptation.

Adepitan said the opportunity represented an honour and privilege. 'Even if I go out in the first week, I will always be remembered as the person in a wheelchair. It's never been done before, and it never crossed my mind I would be the first,' he said. 'It's the biggest show on TV and this is a huge opportunity. How often do you get to spend three weeks in the jungle doing this crazy stuff?'

Despite his involvement in identifying accessibility improvements, Adepitan has not been told about the format, trials or other plans for the series. The show has been filmed around Springbrook National Park in Australia since series two in 2003.
