In a dramatic twist, the finale will include a live public vote to determine the winner for the first time in the show's history.
Ant and Dec Return as Hosts for Grueling Challenges
Award-winning presenting duo Ant and Dec will resume their roles as hosts, guiding the celebrities through fresh and demanding challenges in a tougher environment designed to push them to their absolute limits. ITV has also teased that there will be two sets of late entries, with the first pair announced during the premiere episode.
Confirmed Stars Heading Back to the Jungle
Soap star Adam Thomas is reportedly set for a glorious return to the spin-off series after finishing third in 2016. A tabloid source revealed, "This will be a glorious return for Adam as he established himself as a true fan favourite through his series in camp. It's the perfect time for him to head back into the jungle and affirm his position as Mr Bushtucker Trial."
Former Pussycat Doll and radio host Ashley Roberts is also allegedly joining the series. She became a fan-favorite during her 2012 appearance, admired for her warmth and hilarious personality.
Coronation Street legend Beverley Callard is making her return, having previously completed her I'm A Celeb stint in Wales in 2020 due to COVID regulations. A source shared, "Beverley's first taste of I'm A Celebrity was in a cold, wet castle in Wales and it was a tough experience - although she loved making so many new friends. When the chance came up to fly to South Africa and have a second spin of the wheel she jumped at the chance."
Olympian Sir Mo Farah, who also participated in the Wales series in 2020 and placed sixth, is set to return. A tabloid source stated, "Mo is very competitive so is definitely out to win this time round. He's excited to experience a different side of I'm A Celeb as obviously the castle series were dramatically different to Oz. The sunny camps bring with them new problems, but he's feeling excited for the challenge."
Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, crowned Queen of the Jungle in 2016, recently commented, "I was on it a whole decade ago, so I would've been in my early 20s and I'm a different human now. So I would do the trials differently. But I'd just go in and be myself, and that's the only thing you can do."
Ex-boxing champion David Haye is reportedly in talks to join the series after his first appearance over a decade ago. A source noted, "David was delighted to get the call from ITV. As viewers know, no chats are off-limits around the campfire, so they can expect to see David grilled over his quirky relationships."
Comedian Seann Walsh, who finished in fifth place in 2022, is also set to return. He was popular with both campmates and viewers during his initial stint.
The series promises to deliver high-stakes entertainment with its mix of familiar faces and new challenges, set against the backdrop of South Africa's rugged landscape.
