Although ITV has not yet confirmed any contestants, rumors abound as the show prepares to return to its famed Australian jungle setting. Ant and Dec are expected to reprise their roles as hosts.
Who’s in the Running?
One prominent name emerging in speculation is Ricky Wilson, the frontman of the Kaiser Chiefs. After reportedly declining offers for years, he has finally signed on, as detailed by The Sun. In addition to his music career, Wilson served as a coach on The Voice UK from 2014 to 2016.

Former Olympic ice dancer Christopher Dean and TV personality Olivia Attwood are heavily rumored as well. Attwood was compelled to leave the competition in 2022 due to health issues, but has expressed interest in a potential return.
