I’m A Celebrity Odds Jungle favourite emerges after weekend flurry of activity

With I’m A Celebrity 2026 starting this week, here are the latest odds movement on the potential winner over the weekend.

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.”
