UMVA has learned that a star-studded lineup is being curated for the highly anticipated 2026 season of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
As the show's production gears up, rumors are swirling about who will join the jungle this year. One name that's generating significant buzz is Su-Elise Nash, the 45-year-old music artist and Mis-Teeq star.
Su-Elise rose to fame as part of the hit girl group Mis-Teeq, alongside Alesha Dixon and Sabrina Washington, with their single Scandalous reaching number two in the charts in 2003. With the group set to reunite for a special Wembley show this autumn to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Licking On Both Sides, could Su-Elise be ready to take on the jungle?
If she does enter the show, Su-Elise will be following in the footsteps of her bandmate Sabrina, who appeared in the jungle in 2009. Sources close to the show confirm that Su-Elise was incredibly supportive of Sabrina's jungle experience and now she could get her own shot.
It's not the first time Su-Elise has been considered for the show; she almost took part in 2008, but it seems the timing is now perfect. With Mis-Teeq's 25th anniversary celebrations underway, the love for the group is still strong, and Su-Elise could be the perfect addition to the I'm A Celebrity lineup.
Another name rumored to be in the running is Nadiya Bychkova, the 36-year-old Strictly Come Dancing pro. After shocking fans with her exit as a pro from the BBC series, Nadiya might be swapping out the dance floor for the jungle.
Sources reveal that Nadiya has always been on the radar for I'm A Celebrity, but her commitment to Strictly has prevented her from taking part – until now. With her newfound freedom, offers have been pouring in, and bosses are reportedly impressed with her potential.
While there's no official release date for I'm A Celebrity 2026, it's expected to return in November this year. Fans will have to wait and see who will join the jungle, but one thing is certain – the lineup is shaping up to be star-studded.
Last year's winner, social media influencer Angry Ginge, was crowned King of the Jungle after a grueling few weeks in the bush. Will this year's contestants be able to follow in his footsteps and claim the top spot?
