The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! rumour mill is spinning faster than a Bushtucker trial – and this time, it’s dishing up pure gold! Insiders claim ITV executives are seriously considering a blockbuster All-Stars series for the future, bringing back a glittering lineup of former campmates including football icon Harry Redknapp, TOWIE queen Gemma Collins, and a host of other jungle legends who’ve left fans begging for more.

According to fresh leaks circulating in showbiz circles, the second run of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa (following the 2023 spin-off won by Myleene Klass) is firmly on the cards for 2026, with bosses teasing ‘terrifying trials,’ bigger twists, and a live final where viewers crown the ultimate ‘IAC Legend.’ While ITV hasn’t officially confirmed the full cast or exact dates beyond a 2026 launch, the whispers are deafening – and names like Harry Redknapp (King of the Jungle 2018) and Gemma Collins (the GC who famously quit after just 72 hours in 2014) are topping every fan wish list.

Harry Redknapp, the lovable former West Ham and Tottenham manager who won hearts in 2018 by beating Emily Atack and John Barrowman to the crown, is reportedly ‘considering deals’ to return. The 78-year-old football legend became an instant favourite with his no-nonsense attitude, hilarious one-liners, and genuine warmth around the campfire. Fans still talk about his emotional family reunions and the way he handled trials like eating kangaroo anus without batting an eyelid. ‘Harry back? Yes please!’ one viral X post exploded, racking up thousands of likes. ‘He was the dad the jungle needed – bring him back for redemption or just more laughs!’

Then there’s Gemma Collins, the self-proclaimed diva whose short-lived 2014 stint is legendary for all the wrong reasons. The GC stormed out after three days, citing exhaustion and homesickness, but she’s since joked about giving it another go. Recent sightings – including a cheeky appearance at the Paddy Power World Darts Championship where she teased All Stars rumours – have only fuelled the fire. ‘Gemma Collins fuels I’m a Celebrity All Stars rumours,’ screamed headlines, with fans divided: some begging for her dramatic return (‘The GC in the jungle again? Chaos guaranteed!’), others warning of another early exit. But with her massive social media following and unfiltered personality, she’d be box-office gold.

Other leaked names swirling in the mix include boxer David Haye (2012 runner-up), comedian Seann Walsh (2022), Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt (2016 winner), Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas (2016), Olympic hero Sir Mo Farah (2020), Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts (2012), singer Sinitta (2011), Red Dwarf’s Craig Charles (2014), footballer Jimmy Bullard (2014), and Coronation Street legend Beverley Callard (2020). Reports suggest filming has already wrapped in South Africa for some versions, with ‘explosive rows’ between campmates like Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard adding extra spice.

Ant and Dec, the unstoppable hosting duo, have been teasing fans mercilessly. In a promo clip, they promised the series will be ‘a lot harder’ than usual, with ‘epic’ new trials including bungee jumps, skydiving, and a literal game of Snakes and Ladders in the wild. ‘The campmates really brought their A-game to the first series, so we can’t wait to be back for more trials, challenges and surprises amongst the beautiful South African landscape,’ Ant said. Dec added: ‘Having a live final is an exciting addition – viewers choosing their IAC Legend? Game-changer!’

The first All Stars (I’m A Celebrity… South Africa in 2023) was a smash hit, pitting returning stars against each other in a no-holds-barred battle. Myleene Klass emerged victorious over names like Fatima Whitbread, Phil Tufnell, and Amir Khan, proving former campmates bring fiercer competition and deeper drama. Fans loved the redemption arcs – stars getting a second chance to prove themselves after early exits or near-misses.

If the leaks hold true, 2026’s version could top that. Imagine Harry Redknapp facing off against Gemma Collins in a trial – the banter alone would be priceless! Or Scarlett Moffatt defending her crown against fresh challengers. The South Africa setting adds extra peril: harsher conditions, scarier critters, and no easy Australian luxuries. ‘This isn’t the jungle you remember,’ ITV teases. ‘It’s tougher, wilder, and full of surprises.’

Social media is already in meltdown. Fan pages are flooded with mock line-ups, edits of past highlights (Harry’s winning smile, Gemma’s dramatic walk-out), and petitions for more names. ‘Bring back Emily Atack! Or Nadine Coyle!’ one group demands. Another: ‘All Stars without Scarlett? No way!’ Hashtags like #ImACelebAllStars2026 and #JungleLegends are trending, with fans speculating on who’ll clash, who’ll bond, and who’ll crack under pressure.

ITV’s decision to greenlight another All Stars makes perfect sense. The main series (now in its 2025 run with winners like AngryGinge) pulls huge ratings, but spin-offs keep the brand fresh. Post-2025 buzz – with its Cyclone chaos and emotional highs – has bosses eyeing ways to capitalise. A 2026 All Stars would air in spring/summer, giving fans a double dose of jungle action.

Challenges ahead? Logistics in South Africa (filming wrapped early for some reports), cast availability (big names like Mo Farah have busy schedules), and drama management (past spin-offs had fall-outs). But if anyone can handle it, it’s ITV’s crack team.

For now, it’s all rumours and teases – but the excitement is real. Harry Redknapp back for more dad jokes? Gemma Collins for a full redemption arc? The jungle awaits its legends. As Ant and Dec might say: ‘Get ready, because this could be the biggest I’m A Celebrity yet!’

Buckle up, Britain – the All Stars are coming, and the outback will never be the same.
