So, when do we get to watch celebrities squirm in the Australian jungle? Late November 2026 is the magic window. Specifically, rumour has it the premiere will land Sunday, November 22, 2026.
That’s right—Thanksgiving weekend for our American friends, but a scheduled national holiday of telly for the rest of us. You’ll be full of turkey, or maybe just full of regret, and then boom—a campfire and Ant and Dec. Perfect timing, don’t you think?
ITV hasn’t officially confirmed it yet, but the jungle grapevine is buzzing. And by “jungle grapevine,” I mean the casting agents are already making frantic phone calls.
Why This Year’s Line-Up Will Be Bonkers
Let’s be honest: the casting team is probably on their third bottle of wine trying to wrangle this one. They know 2026 was a bit of a slow burner. They need chaos this time.
Rumoured names? I’ve heard whispers of a former Olympic diver who hates bugs. There’s also a reality TV villain from ten years ago who’s apparently “ready to show her real self.” Sure, Jan.
And the wildcard? A beloved national treasure who absolutely cannot cook over a fire. Can you imagine? It’s going to be a dumpster fire of the best kind. I can’t wait.
