Jeremy Clarkson and Wayne Rooney are among celebrities rumoured for I'm a Celebrity 2026.

I'm a Celebrity will return to ITV next month with Ant and Dec hosting for another series. The hit reality show, known for dropping celebrities into the Australian jungle and putting them through gruelling Bushtucker Trials, has yet to confirm its official lineup, but speculation is already mounting about which famous faces could be heading Down Under.

According to reports, big names linked to the show include football legend Wayne Rooney, potentially following in the footsteps of his wife Coleen, who finished as runner-up in 2024. The Colchester Gazette reports that former Love Island star Chloe Burrows, ex-Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson have also reportedly been in talks, while Jeremy Clarkson has been linked to the series. The series is expected to begin at 9pm on Monday, 16 November, one day later than originally planned due to England's UEFA Nations League match against Spain on Sunday, 15 November.
