First up, we have a ‘90s boyband icon who swears he still does his own laundry. Spoiler: he doesn’t. He will crash and burn during a simple rice-and-beans cooking task.
Then, a Olympic gold medallist who is terrified of spiders. She can lift 300 pounds, but a tiny spider will make her cry for her mum. Expect this to be the main storyline for the first week.
And of course, a reality TV villain who claims they’ve “changed.” They haven’t. They will steal the last bag of marshmallows. We will love to hate them.
The “Wait, They’re Still Famous?” Corner
This year’s cast includes a former children’s TV presenter with a secret tattoo of a celebrity chef. Nobody knows why. Nobody will ask. It’s just there.
There’s also a BBC Radio 1 DJ with a phobia of bananas. Not the peel. The actual fruit. This will be the most controversial camp discussion since the “sweet vs. savory” debate of 2026.
My personal favorite is the soap star from 1998 who now runs a goat yoga retreat in Wales. They are bringing their “calm energy” and a collection of crystals. The jungle will not be ready for this vibe shift.
