With the 2026 season of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Australia just around the corner, rumours about the stars entering the jungle have reached fever pitch.
The popular Channel Ten series is set to premiere on January 18 and a whole host of Aussie stars have already been tipped to be joining the hotly anticipated 2026 series.
The network has done its best to send the rumour mill into overdrive, sharing a series of clues about the 2026 cast.
This year’s season will see a Hollywood sitcom star, international supermodel, rugby league Romeo, and soap royalty enter the South African jungle.
They will be joined by a master chef, an AFL A-lister, a Logie-winning actor, a radio queen, a reality TV bad boy, a jungle princess, a stand-up star, a reality bridezilla, and a ’90s pop star.
When it comes to the international sitcom star, hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris teased: ‘When he meets a bunch of our jungle friends, he’ll go off with a big bang.’

The telling clue prompted fans to suggest that one of the stars of The Big Bang Theory – Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar or Mayim Bialik – could be making their Australian TV debut.
Others suggested that the mystery sitcom star could be Matt LeBlanc or Brady Bunch icon Barry Williams.
The international supermodel is apparently connected to rock royalty and fans have been quick to suggest that it could be Tyra Banks who recently moved Down Under.
Kelly Osbourne is another name high on the list, while Rachel Hunter, who was once married to rocker Rod Stewart, has also been mooted.
When it comes to the rugby league romeo, fans are tipping that former Canberra Raider Luke Bateman, who also appeared on the 2023 season of The Bachelor, will be the pick.
According to Robert and Julia, the soap royalty will have ‘snakes and creepy crawlies as her new neighbours’, prompting fans to suggest that it could be Jackie Woodburne, Rebekah Elmaloglou or Bonnie Anderson from iconic soap Neighbours.
It’s almost a free kick that the master chef spicing things up in the jungle will be a current or former MasterChef Australia star, with fans offering up Melissa Leong, George Calombaris, Matt Preston or Gary Mehigan as potential candidates.
Footy greats Alastair Lynch, Buddy Franklin, David Zaharakis, and Shaun Hampson are among the names tipped to be the AFL A-Lister, while Samuel Johnson, Hugh Sheridan and Lincoln Lewis lead the list of potential Logie-winning actors.

Meanwhile, Jackie O Henderson is hotly tipped to be the 2026 jungle radio queen alongside the likes of Robin Bailey and Liesel Jones

The reality TV bad boy is apparently ‘swapping island life for jungle strife,’ prompting fans to suggest that Love Island star and Tammy Hembrow’s ex, Matt Zukowski, is the likely candidate.
Julia Morris asked if the jungle princess would ‘have as much fun the second time around?’ and viewers have suggested that Lindy Klim, who appeared in the 2025 season of Seven series Amazing Race Australia, could be reprising her reality role.
It’s pretty much a fait accompli that the reality bridezilla will be a Married At First Sight star, and it seems that controversial bride Jacqui Burfoot sits high on the list alongside fan favourite Jamie Marinos.
Viewers have also suggested that the ’90s pop star could be former Spice Girl Melanie C, or homegrown talent such as Vanessa Amorosi or Melissa Tkautz.
Tommy Little leads the list of stand-up stars rumoured to be heading into the jungle, alongside the likes of Sam Pang, Melanie Bracewell and Wil Anderson.
Former I’m A Celebrity star Brendan Fevola concurred with a few of these fan theories, after recently leaking his theories on air.
He told his Fifi, Fev & Nick co-hosts that Kelly Osbourne was a sure-fire bet to be heading into the jungle.

Is Tyra Banks heading into the jungle after spending a year Down Under? Time will tell
‘They’ve been releasing a few things and people have been speculating and I’ve gotten a few DMs… they reckon Kelly Osbourne is the international star related to rock,’ he said.
When a producer told Brendan that Kelly’s brother Jack was in the UK version of the show, he was convinced of his theory.
‘Oh, well then, Kelly is doing this! 100 per cent, she’s going into the jungle,’ he said.
Brendan also claimed that George Calombaris, Samuel Johnson and Dyson Heppell were also in the cast.
