I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’s 2026 launch date is reportedly being moved slightly due to a schedule shake-up. The reality series is due to return later this year, with the new batch of celebrities heading to the jungle yet to be unveiled.
It is now being reported by The Sun that the planned original start date of Sunday, 15 November has been pushed back due to the UEFA Nations League.
England is due to play Spain in Madrid that night, with the kick-off of 8.45pm clashing with the reported start time for I’m a Celebrity. While the series traditionally launches on Sundays, it is being claimed that they are now planning to begin on Monday, 16 November instead.

Digital Spy has reached out to ITV for comment.
As mentioned, no celebrities have been announced yet – that usually happens just before the launch – though among the rumours are Princess and Junior Andre, whose parents Peter Andre and Katie Price famously met and fell in love on I’m a Celebrity.
The siblings are said to be in early talks and are reportedly keen to take part, with a TV insider saying: “TV fans would be glued to their screens. Getting Katie and Peter’s children on the show together would be a lovely full circle moment.
“Although things did not work out between their parents, their romance back then helped turn I’m a Celebrity into a success and became one of the most talked about celebrity love stories the world has ever seen.

“It would be a touching moment for the show’s fans to see their now grown up Andre children give it a go two decades on. Without the show both kids would never exist so it’s played a pivotal part in their lives.”
Princess said she is “100%” keen to sign on, with her brother adding: “Yeah, we’d do it together… I don’t know if siblings have ever done it together, but we are the only jungle babies, seriously, it literally is calling to us.”
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
