I’m A Celebrity South Africa 2026 cast
Gemma Collins
The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins famously appeared in the 2014 series of I’m A Celeb for a mere three days before her theatrical departure.
Yet over a decade on, the larger-than-life television personality is back, with viewers keen to discover whether she’ll stick it out longer this time.
Seann Walsh
Comedian and actor Seann Walsh secured fifth place four years ago, so will he manage to climb higher in the ITV contest in 2026?
The British former professional boxer memorably stripped off for an al fresco shower during his I’m A Celebrity appearance back in 2012.
He secured third place and now the 45 year old is back with his sights set on winning.
Scarlett Moffatt
Television star Scarlett Moffatt rose to prominence on Channel 4’s Gogglebox before claiming victory in I’m A Celebrity in 2016.
Looking ahead to the new series, the 35 year old has already revealed that this season “wasn’t as harmonious” as her first stint on the show.
Adam Thomas
The former Emmerdale actor holds the record for completing the most challenges ever, having tackled 12 Bushtucker Trials during his appearance in the 2016 series.
Sir Mo Farah
The Olympic long-distance runner Sir Mo Farah featured on I’m A Celebrity during the coronavirus pandemic when production moved to Gwrych Castle in Wales.
He secured fifth place in series 20, but how will he fare when he experiences the ITV programme overseas for the first time?
Ashley Roberts
The Pussycat Dolls icon is well-versed in popular reality television, having previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and The Jump.
She came second in 2012, narrowly missing out to EastEnders star Charlie Brooks.
Sinitta
Singer Sinitta left a lasting impression on I’m A Celeb viewers after screaming her way through every Bushtucker Trial in 2011.
Will the 62-year-old fare better on this occasion as she joins the I’m A Celeb All Stars line-up?
Craig Charles
The Coronation Street and Red Dwarf actor Craig Charles was forced to withdraw from the 2014 series prematurely following his brother’s fatal heart attack.
He now gets his second opportunity on I’m A Celebrity, though he experienced another bereavement just days before his return as his mother-in-law died.
Harry Redknapp
Harry Redknapp quickly became a viewer favourite back in 2018, so his victory that series came as little surprise.
The former King of the Jungle is once more bidding farewell to his cherished wife Sandra as he heads off to compete in All Stars.
Jimmy Bullard
Ex-Premier League star Jimmy Bullard became the first casualty in 2014, meaning his jungle stint was disappointingly short-lived.
He’s making a comeback for the 2026 South Africa series, determined to claim the crown this time around.
Beverley Callard
Coronation Street icon Beverley Callard featured in the pandemic-era I’m A Celebrity when the show relocated to Wales in 2020.
Having portrayed pub landlady Liz McDonald for over 30 years, she’s well-versed in handling drama, but how will she fare tackling the Bushtucker Trials overseas for the first time?
