I’m a Celebrity South Africa’s full line-up confirmed as show favourites return

I’m a Celebrity: South Africa has confirmed its star line-up returning to ITV this spring. The second ‘all-stars’ series was filmed in South Africa in 2025, but the celebrities taking part were being kept top secret.

Now, it’s been confirmed that jungle favourites Harry Redknapp, Scarlett Moffatt and Gemma Collins, as well as Welsh castle series star Sir Mo Farah, will all be back for more bushtucker trials.

Beverley Callard, who has been going through treatment for breast cancer, is also in the cast for the show that was recorded before her diagnosis.

Joining them are Sinitta, Craig Charles, Seann Walsh and David Haye. Adam Thomas, Ashley Roberts and Jimmy Bullard complete the line-up in camp.

In a new Instagram teaser for the show, Collins calls her return to the jungle “redemption” while Sinitta says it was 15 years ago that she last took part and Walsh laughed about finishing behind Matt Hancock in the public vote.

The first teasers for the new series were shown during the first episode of Britain’s Got Talent 2026, and show hosts Ant and Dec sitting around a campfire in the dark. Heading to bed, Ant gets warned by Dec: “Don’t let the bed bugs bite,” but extends the warning to include “the ticks… and the mozzies… and the scorpions… and the sand-eyed spiders… or the kudus… or the baboons!”

The popular stars tempted back for another stay in camp include 2018 winner Harry Redknapp and Towie’s Gemma Collins, who famously lasted only three days in the jungle. Scarlett Moffatt, who won I’m A Celeb in 2016, will also be back to fight to retain her Queen of the Jungle title.

The ITV show is a spin-off from I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, which is filmed Down Under every year. Celebrities who have been on the main show return to have a second chance at their jungle experience, this time in Kruger National Park in South Africa.

I’m a Celebrity… South Africa first aired in 2023, where it attracted an audience of more than five million viewers across its run.

In a change from the 2023 series, the 2026 show will feature a live grand final broadcast direct from London, where viewers will have their final say on who will be crowned the ultimate 2026 legend.

Ant says: “The campmates really brought their A-game to the first series, so we can’t wait to be back for more trials, challenges and surprises amongst the beautiful South African landscape.”

Dec says: “Having a live final is an exciting addition to the new series with the viewers choosing their IAC Legend and we’ve heard some of the new trials are truly epic, even by I’m A Celeb… standards!”

These are the household names rumoured to be taking part in I’m a Celebrity All-Stars, which will air in 2026, according to The Mirror and The Sun. ITV representatives told Yahoo UK that any names are speculation.

A personalidade do Gogglebox, Scarlett Moffatt, ganhou I’m a Celebrity em 2016. Já se passaram dez anos desde sua participação na selva, mas ela está retornando para a série de lendários – e em janeiro, ela deu algumas pistas sobre sua participação.

Quando lhe perguntaram se ela havia retornado ao acampamento no Good Morning Britain em 8 de janeiro, ela respondeu de forma enigmática: “Bem, não posso confirmar nem negar, mas o que posso dizer é que a linha de participantes especulada parece ser uma festa total.”

O apresentador Richard Madeley disse: “Bem, se você não está negando, estamos considerando isso como um sim.” Moffatt sorriu: “Bem, Richard, depende de você.”

Sua vida pessoal está passando por grandes mudanças no momento, pois ela deu à luz seu filho em 2023, e ela está no meio do planejamento de seu casamento. Em 2025, ela competiu no Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special e ganhou o troféu Glitterball festivo.

Já se passaram mais de 10 anos desde que Jimmy Bullard participou de I’m a Celebrity em 2014. Mas o ex-jogador de futebol tem outra participação na série, viajando para o sul da África.

Sua primeira participação em I’m a Celebrity abriu portas para sua carreira na televisão. Desta vez, ele estará no bom companhia do lendário jogador de futebol, Harry Redknapp.

Coronation Street star Beverley Callard participated in I’m a Celebrity when it was in the cold, wet castle in Wales during the Covid pandemic.

Now the actor — known for playing Liz McDonald on the cobbles — has had the chance to experience what I’m a Celebrity is like when it’s filmed in South Africa.

Callard, 68, is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer but had pre-recorded the series in 2025 before her treatment began.

She attended the series press launch in London, but posted on her Instagram ahead of the event to tell her followers how nervous she was feeling after having her confidence knocked by the gruelling treatment and its effects.

TV bosses have also cast Adam Thomas again, who was in the same series that Moffatt won in 2016. He battled 12 Bushtucker trials during his time in the jungle.

Having loved the experience, he returned for the spin-off show I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp with Joel Dommett and Emily Atack in 2019.

在2014年,他在丛林中待了四天,但由于他的兄弟丹突发致命的心脏病,他不得不离开。

这位演员最出名的是在《 coronation street》中饰演出租车司机劳德·穆拉内,以及在《红矮人》中饰演戴夫·莱斯特。

Football manager Redknapp was crowned the king of the jungle in 2018. The 78-year-old was thought to be top of the wish list for the legend series, and show bosses’ dreams have come true.

In 2018, The Sun reported that Redknapp was paid £500,000 for his I’m a Celebrity stint, making him the highest-paid celebrity at the time. Coleen Rooney is now thought to be the highest-paid I’m a Celebrity star after reports she took home more than £1.5million (which is more than Nigel Farage, who starred on the previous series).

Will Redknapp be able to take the crown for a second time?

Gemma Collins

Gemma Collins is one of the most memorable I’m a Celebrity contestants. Her brief stint on I’m a Celebrity will go down in the show’s history, as she lasted only three days (or 72 hours) in the Australian jungle in 2014.

Pero el exestrella de TOWIE está listo para intentarlo de nuevo más de 11 años después. La GC declaró: “Este es el redimirse” mientras se confirmaba la alineación del programa.

En 2019, le dijo al programa de Jonathan Ross: “Me sentí enormemente fuera de mi alcance, estaba aterrorizada. Si volviera ahora, tendría más experiencia. Ahora tengo una piel más dura, y creo que es donde entró en juego la GC. Si me pidieran volver, sí, volvería.”

Seann Walsh

El exparticipante de Strictly Seann Walsh regresa a I’m a Celebrity para la serie de leyendas, bromeando sobre haber terminado como un participante menos popular que Matt Hancock la última vez que participó.

El comediante entró en la jungla por primera vez en 2022 después de que se le viera besando a su bailarina de Strictly, Katya Jones, en 2018. En ese momento, Jones estaba casada con Neil Jones, y Walsh estaba en una relación con la actriz Rebecca Humphries; ambas parejas posteriormente se separaron.

Walsh ganó el favor de los espectadores en casa cuando terminó en quinto lugar en I’m a Celebrity, pero Hancock, quien entró junto con él al final, terminó en tercer lugar. Cuatro años después de salir de la jungla, Walsh tiene dos hijos con la profesora de baile Grace Adderley.

Myleene Klass выиграла первый-ever спин-офф шоу “I’m a Celebrity” в 2023 году, изначально заняв второе место за Матом Уиллисом в основной программе в 2006 году. Добросердечная мама Класс пожертвовала свой выигрыш в 100 000 фунтов стерлингов Save The Children.

Известные лица, такие как Кэрол Вордерман, Хелен Флэнаган, Джордан Банжо, Шон Райдер, Фил Туфнелл, Кэрол Вордерман, Пол Бёррелл, Амир Хан, Дженсис Дикинсон и Фатима Уитбрэд, вернулись для южноафриканского сезона.

Продюсеры “I’m A Celebrity” были ошеломлены невероятным испытанием “Bushtucker” для Класс, где она проглотила 40 ложек ферментированного тофу. Она сказала Yahoo: “Я думала: ‘Они не убьют меня, потому что где-то в мире кто-то это сделал’, но оказалось, что никто в мире этого раньше не делал.”

“Я поговорила с Энтом и Деком в самолете по дороге домой”, – сказала она. “И они сказали: ‘Когда ты сказала, что будешь делать все 40, продюсеры сказали: ‘Это не произойдет’. И они сказали: ‘Продюсеры начали выходить из палатки, чтобы посмотреть это своими глазами, потому что они сказали: ‘Нет!’

“Я сказала: ‘Боже, я даже не знаю, что происходит за кулисами’. Я думала: ‘Они не убьют меня, потому что где-то в мире кто-то это сделал’, но оказалось, что никто в мире этого раньше не делал.”

“آنت وديك قالا، ‘كنت آلة. ماذا كنت تفعل؟’ وأنا قلت، ‘اعتقدت فقط أن شخصًا ما قد فعل 40، لن تعطيني 40!’ كانوا يقولون: ‘لا، لا’. وقال قائد الألعاب أن لم ي أحد يصل إلى سبعة. فكرت، ‘يا إلهي، لقد فعلت سبعة في الدقيقة الأولى!’ لم أشعر بهذا الشعور من قبل في حياتي.”

“I’m a Celebrity… South Africa” ستذاع على قناة ITV في الربيع عام 2026.
