ITV Confirms I’m A Celebrity All Stars Return for 2026 – Scarlett Moffatt and Gemma Collins Lead Betting Odds
ITV has confirmed that I’m A Celebrity… South Africa will return for a second All Stars series in 2026, with fan favourites Ant and Dec once again hosting the hit spin-off show.
The series will see iconic former campmates return to face brand-new trials and challenges deep in the South African wilderness.
In a major twist for the upcoming season, the public will, for the first time, decide who is crowned the “Ultimate Legend”, with a live grand final broadcast direct from London in early 2026.
Scarlett Moffatt and Gemma Collins Tipped to Return
Bookmakers have already released early betting markets, with Scarlett Moffatt emerging as the clear favourite to appear in the new All Stars series.
The former Gogglebox star and 2016 Queen of the Jungle is 1/4 to return – an 80% implied chance.
Gemma Collins, who famously quit the jungle after just three days in 2014, is also strongly tipped for a dramatic comeback at 11/10 – a 48% chance.
Celebrity betting expert Dave James of WhatAreTheOdds.co.uk believes both stars could bring huge entertainment value to the series.
“At 1/4, Scarlett Moffatt is almost certain to be back,” James said. Viewers loved her down-to-earth humour and warmth in 2016, and ITV will be desperate to get her on board again.”
He added:
“Gemma Collins at 11/10 is fascinating. She’s unpredictable and box office TV. If she lasts longer than her three memorable days in 2014 this time, we could see fireworks, laughter, and probably a few tears, she’d be unmissable.”
Other Names in the Running
Several other big names are in the betting frame, including former champions and high-profile campmates:
- Vicky Pattison (6/4) – 40% chance, winner in 2015
- Stacey Solomon (2/1) – 33% chance, runner-up in 2010
- Jill Scott (3/1) – 25% chance, winner in 2022
- Sir Mo Farah (3/1) – 25% chance, appeared in 2020
James commented:
“The new public vote twist changes everything. It means producers will want a mix of personalities, from reality stars like Vicky Pattison to sporting icons like Mo Farah. Jill Scott at 3/1 is a dark horse. She was incredibly popular in 2022 and could go deep into the competition again.”

| Harry Redknapp | 8/1 | 11% | 2018 |
| Sinitta | 9/1 | 10% | 2011 |
Show Expected to Return in Spring 2025
While ITV has yet to confirm an exact air date, I’m A Celebrity All Stars is expected to return in spring 2025, with the live grand final taking place in early 2026.
James summed up the upcoming series:
“With Scarlett at 1/4 and Gemma at 11/10 leading the betting, ITV has a potential ratings smash on its hands. Throw in a few shock names and the new public vote twist, and this could be the most dramatic All Stars series yet.”

I’m A Celebrity Expert Predicts FIRST Elimination Ahead of Sunday Opener
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! returns this Sunday, and before a single Bushtucker Trial has taken place, bookmakers are already pricing up who could be the first to leave the jungle. While viewers haven’t seen any camp dynamics yet, early odds paint a picture of who the public may warm to and who might struggle to win votes once the eliminations begin.
Ruby Wax and Eddie Kadi Favourites to leave first
At this early stage, comedian Eddie Kadi and TV icon Ruby Wax lead the market as the initial favourites for the first eviction.
First Elimination Odds:
| Celebrity | Odds | Implied % Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Eddie Kadi | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Ruby Wax | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Alex Scott | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Vogue Williams | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Shona McGarty | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Kelly Brook | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Lisa Riley | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Jack Osbourne | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Martin Kemp | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Aitch | 20/1 | 4.8% |
| Tom Read Wilson | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Angry Ginge | 33/1 | 2.9% |
Eddie Kadi Early Favourite to Go First
Dave James, Celebrity Odds Expert at What Are The Odds comments:
“Eddie Kadi sits at the top of the elimination market at 6/4. Despite being well known for his stand up comedy and recent run on Strictly Come Dancing, betting analysts suggest he may find it difficult to dominate screen time in a cast packed with strong personalities.
Pre-show speculation hints that Kadi could be the quieter type in camp, which often leads to early exits if voters feel they haven’t seen enough of a celebrity. While he has a big fan base, the odds suggest he may need strong early performances to avoid slipping into danger once the public vote opens.”
“Ruby Wax is the second favourite at 3/1, with bookmakers unsure how the public will react to her direct, comedic style in the pressurised environment of the jungle.
We all know Wax is known for her sharp humour and blunt delivery traits that will likely make her one of the more memorable campmates. However, early markets suggest that if viewers perceive her as too intense, she could quickly drift towards the bottom of the vote. Still, with such a seasoned entertainer in the lineup, she’s equally capable of becoming one of the stars of the season.
Behind the two frontrunners are several big names who could also come under pressure early depending on how the opening episodes unfold. Alex Scott and Vogue Williams sit at 5/1, suggesting the market sees them as potential early casualties if they struggle to shine on screen.
Soap favourite Shona McGarty and TV personality Kelly Brook follow at 7/1, with the rest of the cast at much longer odds. As always with I’m A Celeb, one standout trial, unexpected storyline or emotional moment could completely reshape the early elimination landscape.”

What Are The Odds spokesman David James gives his opinions on the favourites.
Martin Kemp 2/1
“The 2026 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is shaping up to be one of the most star-studded line-ups in years with household names from music, sport, comedy and soapland heading to the Australian jungle. Leading the betting this year is Spandau Ballet legend Martin Kemp, who’s been installed as the early 2/1 favourite to be crowned King of the Jungle. The 64-year-old ’80s icon is expected to win over viewers with his charm, charisma and inevitable campfire singalongs. Martin’s a true household name from topping the charts with Spandau Ballet in the ’80s to his unforgettable stint in EastEnders in the 2000s. He’s a fantastic signing for this year’s show, and there’s a real buzz about seeing him take on the jungle.”
Lisa Riley 3/1
“Hot on his heels is Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley (3/1), who’s long been linked with the show. The much loved actress, known for her role as Mandy Dingle,is finally swapping the Dales for the jungle, and fans are already backing her in their droves.
Lisa’s finally stopped saying no to the jungle after years of offers and fans can’t wait to see her in action. She’s admitted she might be ‘too much of a coper’ for good telly, but knowing Lisa, she’ll bring her trademark confidence, big personality, and even a few dance routines around the campfire. She’s more than ready to take on the cockroaches!”
Kelly Brook 5/1
“Former Love Island host and model Kelly Brook (5/1) is another big name heading Down Under, reportedly signing a lucrative ITV deal after years of turning down the offer. ITV bosses have been keen to sign Kelly for years and many think she could be their sexiest contestant ever. She came across really well with audiences on Celebrity Race Across the World and is glamorous, witty, and a familiar face to viewers thanks to her time on Loose Women and other ITV shows. Kelly’s the full package and guaranteed to make perfect TV viewing.”
Jack Osbourne 5/1
“The Osbournes star Jack Osbourne (5/1) will bring rock ’n’ roll to the outback, making his jungle debut following the death of his father, music legend Ozzy Osbourne, earlier this year.Jack’s had a tough few months following the loss of his dad, but I’m A Celeb bosses are thrilled to have him on board. He’s been a star in his own right ever since The Osbournes burst onto screens over two decades ago, and viewers will be eager to see this next chapter in his story”
Joining her on those odds is Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson (5/1), whose warm wit could make him a camp favourite.
Elsewhere, Football Focus presenter Alex Scott (6/1) and social media sensation Angry Ginge (6/1) are both tipped to go far. Scott brings competitive spirit and confidence, while Angry Ginge’s passionate personality could see him win over the nation just as he has millions online.
Comedy fans will be cheering on Eddie Kadi (8/1), whose quick humour should keep spirits high. Vogue Williams (9/1) adds glamour to the line-up, while BRIT Award-winning rapper Aitch (10/1) could surprise a few people as the first rapper in camp since Tinchy Stryder.
Rounding off the confirmed stars are EastEnders actress Shona McGarty (11/1) and the inimitable Ruby Wax (12/1), whose wit and sharp questions promise to keep things lively around the campfire.”

Alan Carr ‘Set to Replace’ Tess and Claudia as Strictly Come Dancing Host After Shock Odds Slash
Alan Carr is being strongly tipped to take over as one of the new presenters of Strictly Come Dancing after his emotional victory on The Celebrity Traitors.
Bookmakers have priced the comedian at 2/1 to join the hit BBC show giving him a 33% chance of stepping into the presenting role left vacant by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
The 49-year-old has become the nation’s latest TV darling following his dramatic win on The Celebrity Traitors, which drew more than 10 million viewers on Thursday night.
Carr broke down in tears as he was crowned winner and revealed he would donate his entire £87,500 prize to the children’s charity Neuroblastoma UK, saying the money would “change lives.”
Now, it looks like Carr’s own life could be changing too.
His triumph in the Scottish castle has reportedly caught the attention of BBC bosses, who see him as the perfect fit to bring his trademark warmth and humour to Strictly Come Dancing next year.
A BBC insider told The Mirror: “Alan has always been a star, but it’s amazing what a month in a Scottish castle can do to elevate your career. He’s ours now.”
Carr’s odds of 2/1 to become the next Strictly presenter make him one of the front-runners for the job, ahead of other potential TV appearances.
Bookmakers have also listed odds of 6/4 (40% chance) on Alan Carr: Chatty Man returning, 3/1 (25%) for a stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle in 2026, 5/1 (17%) for Celebrity Big Brother, and 6/1 (14%) for Celebrity Race Across the World.
| Alan Carr Betting Specials | Odds | Percentage Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Brings back Alan Carr: Chatty Man | 6/4 | 40% |
| Becomes presenter on Strictly Come Dancing | 2/1 | 33% |
| Appears on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2026 | 3/1 | 25% |
| Celebrity Big Brother 2026 | 5/1 | 17% |
| Celebrity Race Across the World | 6/1 | 14% |
Carr, who was once overlooked for a judging role on Britain’s Got Talent in 2023, has seen his popularity skyrocket after charming the public during his time on The Celebrity Traitors.
If the odds are anything to go by, Alan Carr could soon be trading the Scottish castle for the Strictly ballroom swapping deception and drama for sequins and samba.
