Wayne Rooney and Ade Adepitan among 2026 I'm A Celebrity line-up

Wayne Rooney, Joanna Page and YouTuber Sharky are among the 11 celebrities announced for the 2026 series of *I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!*, which begins on ITV on Monday 16 November.

The line-up also includes Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson, Paralympian and presenter Ade Adepitan, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, presenter AJ Odudu, comedian Jack Skipper, actress Claire Sweeney, model Leomie Anderson and former *Love Island* contestant Chloe Burrows.

Rooney follows his wife Coleen, who finished runner-up in 2024. “If you're going in you want to win it,” he said, adding that he hoped to bring the title “back to the Rooney household”. He said his biggest fear was jumping out of a helicopter and that he did not like snakes or going into the sea.

Adepitan will be the first wheelchair user to appear on the programme. ITV producers are adapting the Australian camp to make it accessible for him. He said he was “slightly overwhelmed” by the prospect and had not imagined he would be the first.

The programme’s presenters, Ant and Dec, will return for the opening episode. The series is in its 26th year. The previous series was an all-star edition filmed in South Africa.
