I’m A Celebrity All Stars ‘signs up’ Olympic legend after he ‘turned down’ Strictly

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is returning with a new series of All Stars in 2026, and one former campmate has reportedly already signed up for a second stint

The All Stars edition of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is making its return to television screens in 2026 and speculation about the line-up has already begun.

The spin-off programme features previous I’m A Celebrity contestants returning to the jungle, though this time they’ll be trading Australia for South Africa.

Amongst the celebrities rumoured to be heading back for a second jungle experience is Sir Mo Farah, who initially took part in I’m A Celebrity in 2020. That particular series was shot at Gwrych Castle in Wales owing to the Covid pandemic, reports the Express.

Mo, 42, became the eighth celebrity to leave, departing alongside former Strictly professional AJ Pritchard. Giovanna Fletcher claimed victory in that series, with Jordan North finishing as runner-up.

It appears Mo is keen for another jungle adventure, as a source has suggested he’s committed to the 2026 All Stars series.

“Mo is very competitive so is definitely out to win this time round,” the source revealed to The Sun. “He’s excited to experience a different side of I’m A Celeb as obviously the castle series were dramatically different to Aus.”

This follows reports that Mo declined a place on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, despite being amongst the first names linked with the 2025 series. It was claimed in June that the Olympic hero was in “early talks” with BBC executives.

Nevertheless, the line-up has now been announced, with Mo choosing not to participate. If Mo has his eyes on I’m A Celebrity All Stars, he could be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Harry Redknapp in the jungle this time.

The former I’m A Celebrity champion is one of the well-known faces also speculated to be participating in the 2026 series, alongside Pussycat Dolls sensation Ashley Roberts and comedian Seann Walsh.

Scarlett Moffatt, who clinched the ITV show’s title in 2016, is another name that’s been bandied about in reports.

The inaugural series of I’m A Celeb All Stars aired in 2024, crowning Myleene Klass as the winner. She competed alongside other former campmates such as Shaun Ryder, Carol Vorderman, Helen Flanagan, Jordan Banjo, Amir Khan and Janice Dickinson.

I’m A Celebrity All Stars is set to make a comeback on ITV in 2026.
