It’s officially back! I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is set to return to our screens next week and ITV has given us an early Christmas present by already confirming the campmates of this year’s series.
The I’m a Celebrity 2026 cast
Ade Adepitan
Age: 53
Famous for: TV presenter and wheelchair basketball player
Instagram: @adeadepitan
Phobias: “I’m not telling anybody what I’m scared of, because then they will heap it on me! But how many people do you know who love snakes or eating dodgy pigs’ testicles?!”
Role in camp: “A motivator. I like to entertain people. It’s about having fun together.”
AJ Odudu
Age: 38
Famous for: Presenter, best known for Big Brother
Instagram: @ajodudu
Phobias: ” Beforehand I thought, ‘Don’t tell them your biggest fears’. But I’m too honest! I’ve confessed everything. I’m scared of heights, water, and I don’t like creepy crawlies, rats and reptiles. Literally, the only thing I will be ok with is the eating trials!”
Role in camp: “The shoulder to cry on. I hope I will be able to keep everyone’s morale up. I am also quite happy to chip in on other jobs like washing dishes too.
Chloe Burrows
Age: 31
Famous for: Appearing on Love Island in 2021 and presenting on Kiss radio
Instagram: @chloeburrows
Phobias: “Absolutely everything, but heights is my worst fear. If I ever get in an open glass lift, I shut my eyes. I am terrified!”
Role in camp: “Morale booster rather than a chef. I don’t want to kill anyone with my food! I am there to have a laugh. I hope people can lean on me and I want to be there if someone is feeling down.”
Claire Sweeney
Age: 55
Famous for: Singer and actress
Instagram: @claire.sweeney
Phobias: “Maggots. I am terrified! I remember as a kid my dad was a fisherman and there was a punnet of maggots in the fridge. For some reason, I remember putting my hand in the punnet and I can’t even look at them now. It freaks me out.”
Role in camp: “Mediator. I’d like to think I am a rational person and I would defuse any situation.”
Jack Skipper
Age: 38
Famous for: Standup comedian
Instagram: @mrjackskipper
Phobias: “Rats, snakes, creepy crawlies – I don’t like any of them! I’m not good with being locked up in a tank either. Literally all of it is pretty bad!”
Role in camp: “I’m a people pleaser and I hope I can keep morale up, have good chats with everyone and have a laugh.”
Joanna Page
Age: 49
Famous for: Actress best known for playing Stacey in Gavin & Stacey
Instagram: @iamjoannapage
Phobias: “I am very scared of spiders. I’m also worried I won’t make any friends in camp. It’s like the first day of a new school or starting a new job!”
Role in camp: “The mum, a shoulder to cry on, cleaner and trying to make the camp look pretty. I also love listening to stories.”
Leomie Anderson
Age: 33
Famous for: Model and Glow Up presenter
Instagram: @leomieanderson
Phobias: “I’m not keen on cockroaches! It’s not that I have a phobia about them, but the idea of having hundreds of roaches running across my body doesn’t really tantalise my tastebuds! Confined spaces? I live in a studio in New York, so I’m fine with that!”
Role in camp: “Definitely not the cook! I am leaving that to the experts. My role is definitely going to be the person who boosts morale in camp. I am a very positive person.”
Mariella Frostrup
Age: 63
Famous for: Journalist and broadcaster
Instagram: @mariella_frostrup
Phobias: “I don’t know what I am scared of, but this could be famous last words, and I could be a total wimp! Then again, I could become some sort of intrepid explorer! Spiders? I don’t mind them. The rest of my family is phobic about spiders, so I end up having to deal with the ones in our house.”
Role in camp: “I am the eldest of five so I am used to being the strong one, but it will depend on who I am with. I’d like to think I am a good cook with ingredients but with no ingredients, I will probably be a terrible cook like everyone else!
Ricky Wilson
Age: 48
Famous for: Front-man of Kaiser Chiefs
Instagram: @rickontour
Phobias: “Celebrities! At least there are less celebrities than there are snakes.”
Role in camp: “I’m not sure yet. I am looking forward to discovering what life is like inside the camp.”
Sharky
Age: 30
Famous for: Content creator
Instagram: @ohnosharky
Phobias: “The only phobia I’ve got is having to crawl through tight spaces or caves to get to the next part of the challenge. I’ve done a lot of challenges on YouTube, which has prepared me for something like this!”
Role in camp: “I will be the balanced person in camp. When the group is down, I will try to bring the atmosphere up, be jolly and super calm. But if I get bored, I think I will end up pulling a prank, like maybe hiding something!”
Wayne Rooney
Age: 41
Famous for: Footballer
Instagram: @waynerooney
Phobias: “Jumping out of a helicopter is my biggest fear, because I’ve been booked to jump out of a plane three times before and never made it on the plane! I don’t like snakes or what is in the water either – I don’t go in the sea.”
Role in camp: “Well I can’t cook, but I’m not scared to ask for advice if I have to. I do talk a lot, and I am happy to help where I can. I do like playing pranks!”
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here starts on Monday 16 November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
