I M A Celeb 2026 Line Up All Stars

So, it’s official: the jungle is getting a second helping of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2026, and this time it’s the All Stars edition. Yes, the same celebrities who once ate kangaroo testicles and cried over a missing pillow are voluntarily returning to the Queensland bush. I know, I know—it’s like watching a friend go back to an ex who served them a salad made of regret and earwigs.

Let’s be honest: the line-up is unhinged in the best possible way. The producers have apparently raided the archives of reality TV gold, pulling out gems you thought were lost to history. We’re talking Lady C from the 2015 series, who spent her entire stay swearing at a tree because it “looked at her wrong.” She’s been offered a lifetime supply of gin and a personal handler to ensure she doesn’t strangle Ant or Dec. Word is, she’s already requested a tent made entirely of sarcasm.

Then there’s Gogglebox legend Scarlett Moffatt, who won the jungle in 2016 and now returns to prove she still has the survival instincts of a well-fed housecat. She’s apparently bringing her own stash of dry shampoo and a laminated list of “emotional support snacks.” Viewers are already betting on how long it takes her to demand a “proper cuppa” while dangling from a rope bridge. The betting odds are currently 3:1 that she’ll be first to crack and demand a phone call to her gran.

But the real surprise? Boris Johnson is not on the list. I repeat: no former prime ministers are being dropped into the jungle with a bag of rice and a spider the size of a dinner plate. Instead, we get Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino from Jersey Shore, who is apparently a “massive fan” of British reality TV. He’s been spotted Googling “what is a custard cream?” and “how to identify a venomous snake with deadlift form.” Expect him to try and build a shelter exclusively out of protein shakes and hair gel.

The Usual Suspects (And One Actual Suspect)

Of course, no All Stars season is complete without the token villain, and 2026 delivers. Gemma Collins is back, and this time she’s promised not to “throw a strop” and walk out after three days. She’s negotiated a contract that includes a heated mattress, a personal mirror, and a guarantee that no trial involves “slime that smells like her ex-boyfriend.” Rumour has it she’s also requested a 24/7 live feed of her DMs so she can check for brand deals. You have to admire the hustle.

But the most baffling inclusion? Lord Alan Sugar from The Apprentice. The 77-year-old is joining the camp as the “business advisor,” which basically means he’ll sit in a deckchair and shout “you’re fired!” at anyone who drops a bat. One insider claims he’s only agreed to appear because the jungle has “better Wi-Fi than his yacht.” He’s reportedly packed a leather jacket and a copy of his own autobiography, which he will read aloud during campfire sing-alongs. Expect him to offer “strategic advice” on how to boil water.

The Trials: A Masterclass in Misery

The trials themselves are set to be savage. Producers have leaked that one challenge involves a tank filled with “celebrity tears” and a live eel named after a tabloid journalist. Another trial, called “The Brexit Confusion,” requires contestants to identify a correct queue while blindfolded and covered in marmite. Yes, actual marmite—because nothing says “punishment” like sticky yeast extract in your nostrils.

My personal favourite rumour is the “Celebrity Karaoke of Regret.” Each contestant must sing a 90s pop song while a crocodile snaps at their ankles. The winner gets extra rice; the loser has to eat a “mystery meat” that was last seen crawling into a contestant’s underpants in 2018. It’s gloriously cruel, and I absolutely cannot wait.

Surprising fact: The producers have hired a full-time therapist this year because the previous All Stars season in 2023 had a contestant who tried to marry a tree. That’s not a joke. A woman literally proposed to a eucalyptus. The tree said no.

Who is going to win? Early predictions point to Scarlett Moffatt, because she’s the only one who can actually identify a spider vs. a twig. But don’t count out Gemma Collins—if she survives the first week without quitting, she’s a dead cert for the final. And if Alan Sugar manages to start a fire by rubbing two gold watches together, he might just steal the crown. One thing is certain: the jungle is about to be very loud, very sticky, and very, very entertaining.

So grab your bug spray, pour a stiff drink, and prepare for the most chaotic three weeks of television since someone let a goat loose in the Big Brother house. The I’m a Celebrity All Stars 2026 line-up is a dumpster fire of pure gold, and I, for one, am bringing marshmallows.
