Season 12 of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia officially kicked off on 10 last night, with hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris welcoming the first wave of 2026 campmates into the jungle.
Ahead of Sunday night’s launch, three of the arrivals had already been confirmed by the network, with Luke Bateman revealed earlier in the week, followed by Rachel Hunter and Dyson Heppell just hours before launch.
Every one of the ten campmates revealed during the premiere had correctly been identified by TV Blackbox earlier in the week, with three more celebrities we’ve confidently named still yet to enter the jungle.
As in previous years, rather than a straightforward walk into camp, the opening episode split the premiere night celebrities into three groups, each facing a very different introduction to jungle life.
International supermodel Rachel Hunter, Hollywood sitcom star Barry Williams and jungle princess Mia Fevola were the first to arrive, tasked with repairing the Jungle Telecommunications Hub as their opening challenge got the season moving quickly.
Soap royalty Rebekah Elmaloglou, rugby league romeo Luke Bateman, stand up star Nath Valvo and 90s pop star Deni Hines followed with a more physical introduction, launching into their jungle adventure via a flying arrival that offered little time to ease in.
Logie winning actor Gary Sweet, AFL A-lister Dyson Heppell and radio queen Concetta Caristo believed they were heading for an easy stroll into camp, only to be met by a surprise challenge that undercut any expectations of a gentle welcome.
The closing moments of the premiere confirmed that two more celebrities will enter camp in tonight’s episode, with the preview pointing to beauty bridezilla Cyrell Paule and reality bad boy Matthew Zukowski as the next arrivals.
With the season now underway, one final campmate is yet to make their jungle entrance, with the Master Chef, understood to be celebrity chef George Calombaris, still to come.

If they got Barry need to get William Shatner after all they were on shows in the 60s🤣

Jeffrey Hall Bobby was the youngest son 😂😂😂

Australian content ?
Philip Oyston everyone except Rachel Hunter and Barry Williams
Wendy Heskey one was a pop stars wife and the other ive never heard of .but why would grown up people actually go for it 😒
Philip Oyston actually she was famous before she was Rod Stewarts wife. Barry Williams was on the Brady Bunch he played the oldest son Greg. Rachel is doing it in honour of her Mum that. died from cancer
Wendy Heskey and thats hilarious on the Brady bunch what 1965.nit exactly dignified way to do it. His mum better check the dates me thinks his mum getting on then
Wendy Heskey famous being a pop singers wife ? My late mother was an Australian actor didnt make my dad or my self famous dont get it ?a manufacted scripted show light weight silliness
Philip Oyston her Mum not his mum, Rachel Hunter is only in her late 50s , that’s not old .
Philip Oyston she was famous when he married her , look it up she was discovered at 17 years old in NZ and moved to America she was one of the original supermodels along side Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and our own Elle McPherson.
Wendy Heskey not sure it will stop us sleeping tonight tho who’s ever mum it is .
Philip Oyston what sad person you are .
Wendy Heskey if lm sad not being involved in nonsence comm.tv give me a break. ever been involved with tv? I was for most of my life.go and watch how they put them shows together you’d see my view then.
Wendy Heskey l know just dont watch manufactured scripted pap my view .these people do it for money 💰
Philip Oyston Rachel Hunter was a Super model….not just a pop singer’s wife.
Kate Dukes super model whats that mean
Philip Oyston A supermodel is a highly successful, globally recognized fashion model who achieves celebrity status, commanding high fees and becoming a household name through lucrative contracts, magazine covers, and major campaigns.
Kate Dukes celebs ??? Good looking girl sells clothes for the fashion houses pretty faces goes on fashion mags ???
Philip Oyston she wasn’t just a good looking girl….not when you consider the amount of money she was earning. Her current net worth is around 40 million dollars…..and you still think she’s just a ‘good looking’ girl!!
Kate Dukes money ? Oh thats thats it
Philip Oyston you don’t get the big bucks….unless you come up with the goods. And Rachel was top of the heap for a very long time. But, don’t believe me…Google Rachel Hunter for yourself.
Kate Dukes on top of what shes a model good on her but why dont scientists get more attention dont need models realistically
Philip Oyston Deni should go back to Thailand as she hates Australia so why is she in the jungle, her beautiful mum Marcia must be horrified as Deni doesn’t have her genes
Sylvia Maksymiw why the vitriol? Its all OE bullshit and life will go on not relevent even
Please cancel this show and all reality shows. I can’t stand the adverts. I would rather watch paint dry. I don’t watch much anymore cause of all the annoying adds.
Rob Pandolfo they can’t
Claire Bear they can’t, rating are sky high with this show.
Budgets which some shows don’t return like SAS Australia which wasn’t on and is now back
Justin Gemmill That’s what I just said if ratings are flowing then they’ll keep the show .
SAS Aus was always going to continue they only had a break cause they had to get new commandos or they were occupied in life or other shows.
Rob Pandolfo the. Don’t watch tv simple . 🙄
This will probably be the last season
Owen Wal This is said every year…
Jake Alexander Whyte if it get any worst you could be class as a celebrity
Owen Wal No it won’t they’re already reaching out to management for the cast (celebrities) & it brings in the ratings so they’ll continue until it doesn’t
I hope not
Therese Bezzina hope not what?
I like the celebrities this year so far, except one, can’t have everything
😆 😆 🤣 😂
Is a good variety and all known.
This show sure went downhill after Chris left… They actually had people that was known in the first 4-5 seasons then they just started choosing randoms afterwards… I remember loving this show once but when they started choosing nobodies I stopped watching.
Jake Alexander Whyte You do realise the show is a low budget show so they can only get few long term/big celebrities then they just get others to fill in . Been like that since the first show. Chris was only supposed to be in the first season too but he continued until they could get filled in . Hasn’t gone down at all it’s still average but brings in the ratings so they’ll continue it. They are also not “no bodies” they are people & some celebrities
Celebrities????
Barbara Anne yes, are you unfamiliar with the word? I know it’s a big one.
Julia Morris still seriously not funny and her wide eyed delivery 🥶
Knew it would happen eventually. But the day has finally come!! They day I don’t recognise a single person on the cast list. 😢😂
Zachery Rankin Deni Hines is the Daughter of Marcia Hines the Singer
Rosemary Emery….and Mia is the Daughter of Brendan Fevola.
That’s correct
Zachery Rankin not even Staceys mom, how you not even recognise her. Are you gay?
Yvonne Marks not even rachel hunter?
Yvonne Marks greg from the brady bunch?
Yvonne Marks well your never gona get the likes of king charles, madonna or taylor swift on a show like this,
Yvonne Marks just can’t please people right. Lucky for you, there are multiple tv channels to choose from at 7.30pm
Tamlin Mason I watch for Robert, and the challenges are Crazy so I still watch even though I don’t know the others. I have known other celebs in the past like Alfonso Ribeiro and Frankie Muniz.
What is a Mia Fevola, she looks like a kid
Peter Bentley daughter of Brendan Fevola…who won it some years ago.
Kate Dukes does that make her a celebrity or has she done something in her own right i don’t know about?
I’m Out Of Work Get Me A Job more like it.
Siobhan Murphy omg your a comedian. So funny. You’ve never had an original thought have you
Luke Murphy YOU’RE a dickhead. There you go.
Not a celebrity in site
Michael Waight wa wa. I’m sure you and your boyfriend will still watch
Michael Waight Gary is 100% a well know celeb. You’d have to live under a rock not to know who he is. He was Julia’s husband on house husbands. He was also in police rescue. Tell me you arent australian without telling me you arent australian.
Who 🥱
Michael Waight why is my comment funny? And youre old af surely you know him
Michael Waight You said it!!!!
For a show that’s pre recorded I’m enjoying it so far.
Over half are not celebrities
Get rid of Rachel Hunter omg plzzzz
Channel 10 should be charged with false advertising.
Luv concella funny bright 🌞
If need be Gary Sweet can assail out, Deni can sing so high she breaks the microphones.
Rod Stewart X Wife Rachael
Stuart Morris she is very quiet
They are boring 😴
