I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Australia is returning for 2026 and, once again, we get to watch celebrities battle the elements in the African jungle.
The series will see a bunch of Aussie celebs — and a few international additions — take on Tucker Trials, and live among creepy crawlies, all while competing to take home a prize for their chosen charity.
Ahead of the premiere of the new season, we’ve popped together all the details you need to know about I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Australia 2026.
Who’s in the cast?
The first I‘m a Celebrity cast member has been announced, and it’s former The Bachelor lead Luke Bateman.
“I’m trading in outback Queensland for the South African Jungle! I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!,” he wrote alongside a video message.
“I’ll be trading the Australian outback for the African jungle on I’m a Celebrity. Get me out of here, which premieres this Sunday, January the 18th, at 7pm on 10. I’ll be going into the jungle representing my charity farm angels, which is a charity very close to my heart,” he said in the clip.
“They do amazing work in my community, and I’m very excited to see what Robert and Julia have cooked up for me, and now I’m sure there’ll be some delectable food items and some fear instilling trials. I can’t wait. I’ll see you all in the jungle.”
On top of that, some juicy clues have been released, and we’ve made some predictions on who may be entering the jungle, which you can check out here.
