First, stock up on snacks that match the show's theme: crisps shaped like bugs and anything you can eat while grimacing. Second, warn your family that from November 16, your vocabulary will consist of: “Get it in ya!” and “I’d do it for the yoga.”

And if you’re feeling brave, host a prediction party. Offer a prize for whoever correctly guesses which celebrity cries about missing “proper tea” first. The winner gets a year’s supply of dry shampoo—essential when you’re emotionally drained from watching people eat fish eyes.
One Final Thing: Ant and Dec’s Vibes
The dynamic duo will be back, looking suspiciously fresh despite having to stand in a jungle for three weeks. Ant will make a dad joke about a wombat, and Dec will roll his eyes so hard it creates a small gust of wind. It’s the comfort blanket of British TV.

So, that’s the scoop. November 16, 2026. Mark it in biro. Set an alarm. Cancel all plans that involve daylight. The jungle is waiting, and it’s going to be a glorious, stupid, and utterly magnificent trainwreck.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to practice my shocked face. “Oh no! A tarantula! How unexpected!” —yeah, I’ve got it down.
