I’m A Celeb Line Up 2026: All Stars Cast Confirmed

Fans of the British-Australian survival reality hit have plenty to track in 2026: not one but two spin-offs brought celebrities back to the jungle, and the main ITV show kept delivering eliminations worth talking about. Whether you caught every episode live or you are just catching up on who went all the way to the final, here is everything that has been confirmed so far about the I’m A Celebrity 2026 line-ups.

All Stars 2026 Confirmed Stars: Harry Redknapp, Gemma Atkinson · Series 2 Line-up Includes: Scarlett Moffatt, Adam Thomas · ITV All Stars Announcement: March 9, 2026 · Capital XTRA Coverage Date: April 10, 2026

Who is in I’m a Celebrity All Stars 2026?

The All Stars format brings back familiar faces from previous UK series, and the 2026 edition delivered a star-studded camp. ITV confirmed the full line-up on 9 March 2026, with celebrities who had already tasted jungle life returning for another shot. Among the headline returnees, Harry Redknapp brought his seasoned charm after becoming the oldest ever winner at 71 in series 18, while Gemma Atkinson joined the camp as a notable previous contender (Wikipedia).

Confirmed contestants

The confirmed campmates for All Stars Series 2 included Adam Thomas (37), who had finished third originally in series 16 before returning to win the 2026 All Stars edition, and Scarlett Moffatt (35), who captured the crown in 2016 and came back for redemption. Both gave interviews ahead of the filming. “I was a bit overwhelmed,” Scarlett Moffatt told Radio Times. “Out of all the people they could pick, I felt grateful that I was even a thought.” She added: “I am ten years older now and it is a big challenge for me. I do feel apprehensive.” (Radio Times)

Other confirmed names included Sir Mo Farah (42), the Olympic runner who had placed fifth in series 20 and returned seeking a stronger result. Ashley Roberts (44), the former Pussycat Dolls singer who was runner-up in 2012, also entered the camp — telling Cosmopolitan: “I have had some sleepless nights before arriving in South Africa.” (Cosmopolitan) Craig Charles, Jimmy Bullard, David Haye, Sinitta, and Beverley Callard rounded out a cast that mixed sporting names, soap stars, and pop icons.

Rumored jungle entrants

Shaun Ryder, Helen Flanagan, and Phil Tufnell were among the names linked to the 2026 All Stars camp ahead of ITV’s official announcement. Additional contestants reportedly included Jordan Banjo, Carol Vorderman, Amir Khan, Janice Dickinson, and Fatima Whitbread. Capital XTRA’s full cast feature on 10 April 2026 provided further confirmation of who entered the jungle (Primetimer).

The pattern worth noting: many of the All Stars returnees had either fallen short of the top spots in their original runs or left early due to circumstances beyond their control. Craig Charles, for instance, departed his 2014 appearance early because of a family bereavement. Beverley Callard, who underwent breast cancer treatment after filming the 2026 series, described joining to finally experience the “true jungle” after a stint in the Wales series (Radio Times).

What is the lineup for I’m a Celeb 2026?

Beyond the South Africa All Stars spin-off, the main ITV series continues to draw viewers every November. For the 2026 main series, ITV had not published a confirmed cast at the time of the All Stars announcement, leaving fans to follow the usual pattern of speculation and gradual confirmations as launch approaches.

All Stars Series 2 confirmed

ITV confirmed the All Stars Series 2 line-up on 9 March 2026 — earlier than the usual main-series reveal, giving fans nearly eight months of viewing before the traditional November window for the flagship show. The broadcaster officially confirmed names including Scarlett Moffatt, Adam Thomas, Harry Redknapp, Sir Mo Farah, Ashley Roberts, Craig Charles, Jimmy Bullard, David Haye, Sinitta, Gemma Collins, and Beverley Callard (Wikipedia).

Seann Walsh, a 40-year-old comedian who had competed in the 2022 series, was also confirmed in the cast. The exact timing of his elimination from the 2026 series was not specified in the detailed Radio Times cast tables, representing one of the gaps in the publicly available data.

Main series contestants

For the main UK series arriving later in the year, the confirmed line-up had not been published by ITV as of early April 2026. The usual cycle involves teaser announcements followed by a full reveal close to launch. Radio Times’ coverage of the 2025 cast served as a reference point, but the 2026 main series cast will follow its own confirmation timeline (Radio Times).

Who’s going into the jungle in 2026?

The year delivered not one but three distinct jungle experiences for viewers, each with its own cast and timeline. Ant & Dec returned to present all versions, anchoring the format fans recognise from the original Welsh castle run.

All Stars entrants

Eight celebrities entered the South Africa camp on Day 1, with Craig Charles and Gemma Collins joining on Day 2. Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard entered as late additions on Day 6 — a dynamic that reshuffled camp dynamics partway through the pre-recorded period (Wikipedia).

The series was filmed entirely in South Africa during September 2025, apart from the live final, which aired on 24 April 2026. The ITV YouTube channel released a cast trailer promoting the return on 6 April 2026, ahead of the broadcast launch (ITV YouTube).

South Africa and Australia variants

South Africa Series 2 aired on ITV starting 6 April 2026, concluding with Adam Thomas crowned King of the Jungle on 24 April 2026. For Australia, Season 12 details were expected ahead of that version’s broadcast, though confirmed line-up information remained limited at the time of the All Stars coverage. The key distinction between the spin-offs and the main UK series remains the location: South Africa and Australia offer warmer, sunnier jungle settings compared to the cold Welsh castle that hosts the flagship show (Radio Times).

Who is in I’m a Celeb South Africa 2026?

Season 2 of the South Africa spin-off ran from April 6 to April 24, 2026, and gave viewers a complete arc from launch to final. Here is the confirmed cast breakdown, drawing on the detailed post-final reporting from Radio Times and Wikipedia.

Season 1 recap

Season 1 of I’m a Celebrity South Africa established the format as a pre-recorded All Stars-style event in 2024, setting the template that Season 2 refined in 2026. Both seasons have featured returning contestants from the UK series, filmed at a South African jungle location that contrasts sharply with the Welsh castle — no cold nights, no drafty castle corridors.

Season 2 expectations

Season 2 delivered a 12-celebrity cast spanning former finalists, previous winners, and early-exit returnees. Harry Redknapp entered late on Day 6 alongside Jimmy Bullard, both bringing the experience of their original UK appearances — Harry as the oldest ever winner at 71, Jimmy known for his bromance in series 14. The pre-recording completed in September 2025, with the live final on 24 September 2025 the only element shot close to broadcast.

I’m A Celeb All Stars 2026: Who Left The Jungle Last Night?

Following the All Stars South Africa Series 2 night by night meant tracking eliminations as they aired between 6 and 24 April 2026. Here is the confirmed exit order, drawn from Wikipedia’s detailed series table.

Recent eliminations

The elimination sequence ran in reverse order of final placement, with early exits happening in the days before the final. David Haye (2nd) and Gemma Collins (3rd) both left on 20 April 2026 — Haye originally finished third in series 12 and returned for another shot, while Collins had struggled through 2014 seeking redemption. On 21 April 2026, Beverley Callard withdrew on medical grounds and Jimmy Bullard was eliminated fourth; Bullard was originally 10th in series 14 (Wikipedia).

Current remaining cast

The final week narrowed the camp to the top three. Craig Charles, who had left his 2014 appearance early due to a family bereavement, was eliminated eighth on 23 April 2026 — originally 11th in series 14. Scarlett Moffatt, the 2016 winner, was eliminated seventh that same evening. The live final on 24 April 2026 resolved the remaining placements: Sir Mo Farah finished as runner-up, Harry Redknapp placed third, and Adam Thomas won the series (Radio Times).

Quotes from the camp

I was a bit overwhelmed. Out of all the people they could pick, I felt grateful that I was even a thought.

Summary

For fans who have been following the I’m A Celebrity franchise across its UK, South Africa, and Australia formats, the 2026 All Stars South Africa season delivered one of the cleanest storylines in recent memory — a full, pre-recorded run with a definitive result. Adam Thomas went from third-place finisher in series 16 to King of the Jungle in 2026, completing a journey that Harry Redknapp, the oldest ever winner, could not quite replicate on his return. The next chapter for ITV’s main series should begin arriving within months, with the usual autumn announcement window opening soon.
