I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia has officially kicked off for 2026, and we finally know who’s in the cast.

Luke Bateman was the first celebrity announced prior to the premiere. In an interview with Chattr, host Julia Morris said he’s the perfect addition to the cast because of how he challenges stereotypes.
“This is an extraordinarily clever and erudite Australian man who, I think, kicks back on any of the things that we think we know about those kinds of footy straight boys already,” she said
“I think he is a really interesting voice, because not only is he an avid reader, and therefore has a window into the world. He lets us in on it without mansplaining; he lets us in on the active things that he can do to respect women. And I think it’s great just not hearing it from us all the time.”
