Right, so the date is one thing. But the cast is the real juice. Every year, the rumour mill goes into overdrive. For 2026, expect a mix of soap stars, a washed-up pop star, a Love Island reject (obviously), and one person you’ve never heard of but somehow become obsessed with.
Could we get a former politician who needs a PR overhaul? Or a reality TV villain we love to hate? The producers are probably in a room right now, throwing darts at photos of Z-list celebrities. “Let’s get the one who cried on GMB last year!” they chant. It’s beautiful.

Remember last year?
Jill Scott won, and honestly? She was a legend. But the real drama was the food. Remember when Matt Hancock (yes, that Matt Hancock) showed up? The camp nearly imploded. That’s the magic of the jungle. You go from “I’m a serious human being” to “I would kill for a single Jaffa Cake” in about 48 hours.
This year, we need someone who’s hungry. Not just for fame, but for bugs. Bush Tucker trials are the real test of character. Can you eat a witchetty grub without gagging? If yes, you might stay. If you cry, you get more screen time. Win-win, really.
