Someone has dropped some “intel”.

The countdown is on for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2026, and Channel 10 has revealed more clues after Brendan Fevola dished some “intel” about the contestants going on the show.

The star, who won the show in 2016, shared the juicy details on his radio show The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick, on December 3.

Channel 10 has already confirmed that beloved hosts Julia Morris and Dancing with the Stars champion Robert Irwin will host the show, so who will be joining them?

We’ve already got clues and theories on who will be entering the jungle.

Who is in the 2026 cast of I’m a Celebrity Australia?

We don’t have a list of names yet, but the 10 Network has been teasing us with lots of clues.

See them all below.

Logie Winning Actor

On December 3, the network revealed that a Logie winner is also entering the jungle.

Before this clue was announced, Brendan said he heard that actor Samuel Johnson could be going on the show.

In the clue, Julia said she could “feel the drama”, and Samuel famously starred in the dramedy, The Secret Life of Us.

He also won a Logie in 2017 for his depiction of Molly Meldrum.

AFL A-Lister

Brendan revealed he’s told another sports legend has signed on.

“Dyson Heppell, I heard is in the jungle,” he said. “[The ex-] Bomber’s captain and I reckon he’ll win. It depends if he’s popular or not… there’s already one footy player that’s ever won (clears throat) … wonder who that was?”

A Master Chef

Channel 10 has also suggested that a MasterChef star will appear on the show.

“Things are about to get v spicy, Robert,” Julia alluded.

“Not to mention controversial!” a voiceover continued. “A Master Chef will turn up the heat in the jungle kitchen!”

Brendan said that it was possible that his The Amazing Race Australia co-star and former MasterChef Australia judge, Melissa Leong, could be going on the show.

“Mel has gone missing off our WhatsApp, because we were just on The Amazing Race,” he explained. “Or it could be George Calombaris.”

Since the clue was announced, fans have also been guessing that George could be heading into the jungle.

Others have suggested guest judge and international chef, Gordon Ramsay, or 2025 winner, Laura Sharrad. Her time on the show was met with some controversy this year, and some fans accused the judges of showing her favouritism.

Rugby League Romeo

Fans are convinced that the “Rugby League Romeo” entering the jungle is Luke Bateman.

The former NRL player, who played for the Canberra Raiders, famously led The Bachelor Australia with Wesley Senna Cortes and Ben Waddell in 2023.

A soap star

On December 2, the network revealed that “Soap Royalty” will enter the jungle.

“Cue the drama, cause a soap star is about to get down and dirty in the jungle,” Robert teased in the clue. “She’s gonna have snakes and creepy crawlies as her new neighbours,” he finished, with raised eyebrows.

Fans are convinced the clue alludes to a Neighbours star joining the show.

Will it be Jackie Woodburne? Or Rebekah Elmaloglou, who played Terese Willis? Other fans think it will be Bonnie Anderson. We will have to wait and see!

A Hollywood Sitcom Star

In this clue, Robert revealed that one male sitcom star will enter the jungle with a “big bang”, so there’s a chance a star from The Big Bang Theory will be joining a slew of Aussie stars.

Fans are hopeful that it’s Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon Cooper, or Johnny Galecki, who played his roommate, Dr Leonard Hofstadter.

On November 26, Simon Helberg, who played Howard Wolowitz, posted to Instagram saying he was in New Zealand, so only time will tell if he’s going to South Africa.

Fans have also suggested that Kevin Sussman, who played comic book store owner Stuart, could also join the cast.

In July, HBO Max announced that the spin-off series Stuart Fails To Save The Universe had been given the green light, so it makes sense that a star might be going to the jungle.

International Supermodel

In this clue, we are told that a female supermodel has connections to rock and roll royalty. “Well, we’ll have them crocodile rockin’ to something shockin’,” Robert joked.

With the connection to a rocker, Brendan said he’s received a few messages about Kelly Osborne going on the show.

Given her brother is competing on the UK stint of the show, he said “100 per cent” she would do it too.

Fans are, however, speculating that the clue means the star has connections to Crocodile Rock singer, Sir Elton John.

Another, however, thinks the “royalty” is in reference to rock star Mick Jagger, who was married to international model Jerry Hall.

Others think it’s model-turned-ice cream business mogul, Tyra Banks, who has called Australia home since late 2023. Read our exclusive interview with her here.
