It’s that time of year when everyone starts talking about Bushtucker Trials and Dingo Dollar Challenges , so we’re taking a look at the I’m A Celebrity 2026 odds. Ant and Dec are always a big hit Down Under, but which of this year’s contestants are expected to shine?
Here, we list our top five tips to end up being crowned king or queen of the jungle , in reverse order:
Ricky Wilson
5. RICKY WILSON @ 10/1
The Kaiser Chiefs frontman always came across as a nice, down-to-earth guy during his time as a coach on The Voice and should be a popular figure both in the camp and with viewers.
Chloe Burrows
4. CHLOE BURROWS @ 8/1
Shot to fame as a Love Island finalist and has since appeared on several more reality TV programmes, as well as hosting her hit podcast Chloe vs The World and co-presenting the Kiss breakfast radio show , so this will be nothing new to the 31-year-old.
Leigh Francis
3. LEIGH FRANCIS @ 13/2
Expected to appear as a late arrival , Francis is best known for portraying the cult comedy character Keith Lemon and the former Bo’ Selecta and Celebrity Juice star should provide plenty of entertainment, with the hope being that we also get a glimpse of the real person behind the comedy masks.
Wayne Rooney
2. WAYNE ROONEY @ 2/1
The former Manchester United and England striker will be hoping to go one better than his wife Coleen managed when runner-up to McFly guitarist Danny Jones a couple of years ago. Former sports stars do have a strong record , with Phil Tufnell, Carl Fogarty, Harry Redknapp and Jill Scott all coming out on top, while Tony Bellew, David Haye, Fatima Whitbread, Jimmy White, Martina Navratilova and John Fashanu all made the first three.
Having initially come across as a touch wooden during his early days as a media pundit , Rooney has made significant improvement both on TV and in his hugely popular podcasts , so it will be a surprise if this working-class hero doesn’t make it all the way to the final. “I hope people will see me for who I am,” he said. “I like to have fun and I like to think I am actually a fun guy to be around. I do like to mess around a bit and I do talk a lot. People will have their own opinions, but I hope they will see me as a genuine person.”
Joanna Page
1. JOANNA PAGE @ 7/2
Rooney will be a tough nut to crack but Page achieved national treasure status during her time starring in Gavin and Stacey and ticks all the right boxes to be successful in this show. Past victors such as Kerry Katona, Stacey Solomon and Giovanna Fletcher have appealed to fellow mums and Page, who has four children with husband actor James Thornton , should fall into the same category.
The 49-year-old said: “For the first couple of days in Australia, I’m sure I am going to be going, ‘Nobody is saying ‘mummy I’m hungry’. I won’t have four kids to get ready for the school run. But after a while, I’m sure I will be like, ‘I’ve got peace and time for my thoughts’. I can be me; I can be Jo and not just mummy all the time. I think that will be nice.”
After three consecutive male winners, Page hopes to be the first Welsh Queen of the Jungle, adding: “I think that would be a pretty good title to take home! I’m not going to crumble. I’m going to see this to the end and I’m going to be strong. I am going to get the most out of this.”
