I can't spill every name—I want to keep some surprises for the premiere. But rumor has it we’re getting a mix of early exits (the ones who deserved a second shot) and absolute legends. Think someone who once had a meltdown over a rice cake. Yes, that person is back.
One name that’s floating around? A certain reality star who broke the internet during their original season. They’re not here to make friends. They’re here to settle a score. Who’s the score with? Everyone. I smell a camp showdown brewing. And I’m here for it.
Also, expect at least one “surprise” late entry. That’s a jungle tradition now, right? They’ll parachute in a soap star or a retired athlete who hasn’t aged a day. And we’ll all go, “Wait, I remember them!” and then they’ll eat a kangaroo testicle. Legends only.
Trials That Actually Scare Them
Remember how the first All Stars felt a bit… safe? The trials were tame because everyone knew the drill. Well, 2026 is not playing. I hear they’re bringing back the underwater cages. And the new challenges involve 20,000 live cockroaches. Roaches. Even the pros are going to cry.
ITV unveils first look at All Stars I'm A Celeb's "harder" new series
One production leak said there’s a trial called “The Vault of Vengeance.” The celebs have to retrieve stars while being doused in fish guts and slime. It sounds like something out of a horror movie. But that’s exactly why we watch—to see millionaires squeal like toddlers. It’s beautiful.
And here’s the twist: the veterans know how to manipulate the public vote. They’re not just surviving; they’re playing a game of psychological chess. One minute they’re buddy-buddy, the next they’re throwing each other under the bus for a luxury hot shower. Brutal. I love it.
