Following a strong opening night that saw ten celebrities enter the jungle for the 2026 season, the show added two more names to the cast at the start of Monday’s episode, confirmed as Cyrell Paule and Matt Zukowski.
The pair entered camp on the second night of the season as late additions, both correctly tipped by TV Blackbox, with one final celebrity still to be revealed, understood to be ‘Master Chef’ and celebrity cook George Calombaris.
Cyrell Paule, one of Australian reality TV’s most recognisable personalities, rose to prominence on Married at First Sight, quickly becoming a household name thanks to her outspoken nature and unforgettable on screen moments.
Since then, she has become no stranger to Network 10 celebrity formats, appearing on The Challenge Australia in 2022 and The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition in 2024, competing alongside partner Eden Dally.
Cyrell is entering the jungle in support of Dolly’s Dream, a charity focused on supporting young people and families impacted by bullying through education, awareness and early intervention.
Joining her is Matt Zukowski, a content creator, model and co host of the Where’s Your Head At? podcast alongside Anna McEvoy, who previously made headlines during his high profile marriage to fitness entrepreneur Tammy Hembrow.
Matt first came to national attention on season two of Love Island Australia in 2019 and has remained a familiar face across reality and digital platforms in the years since.
Matt is supporting R U OK?, the national suicide prevention charity dedicated to encouraging meaningful conversations and connection during difficult times.
Their arrival adds further momentum to the 2026 season, which launched last night with its strongest premiere ratings in three years, drawing 925,000 national overnight viewers and seeing all ten opening night celebrities correctly predicted by TV Blackbox.
Those early confirmed arrivals included rugby league romeo Luke Bateman, revealed earlier last week, along with international supermodel Rachel Hunter and AFL A-lister Dyson Heppell, both confirmed on Sunday ahead of the premiere.
They were followed into the jungle by Hollywood sitcom star Barry Williams, jungle princess Mia Fevola, soap royalty Rebekah Elmaloglou, stand-up star Nath Valvo, 90s pop star Deni Hines, Logie-winning actor Gary Sweet and radio queen Concetta Caristo.
