Wayne Rooney is the 3/1 favourite to win I'm A Celebrity 2026 as the bookmakers price up this year's line-up.
Wayne Rooney is the early favourite to win I'm A Celebrity, and the bookmakers have wasted no time pricing up this year's jungle line-up. The former England captain is the biggest name heading to Australia. His wife Coleen came second in 2024, and the betting suggests he could go one better.
Six bookmakers have priced up all 12 campmates. The series is expected to start on Monday 16 November, a day later than usual because England play Spain in the Nations League on the Sunday.

Who's Favourite to Win I'm A Celebrity 2026?
Wayne Rooney is the favourite to win I'm A Celebrity at a best price of 3/1 with Ladbrokes and Coral, an implied chance of about 25%. The other four bookmakers have him at 5/2. Football figures have done well in the jungle before, with Harry Redknapp winning in 2018 and Jill Scott in 2022. Rooney is also the most famous name in camp by some distance.
YouTuber Sharky, of Beta Squad, is second favourite at 6/1, about 14%. Last year's winner, Angry Ginge, showed how far a young online fan base can take someone, and he won the 2025 final with 65% of the vote. Sharky has drifted slightly since the market opened, from 5/1 to 6/1 at Sky Bet and Paddy Power.
The early money has gone on Leigh Francis. Sky Bet and Paddy Power have cut him from 9/1 to 15/2, and Ladbrokes and Coral already have him at 5/1. Love Island's Chloe Burrows is 8/1.
I'm A Celebrity 2026 Line-Up Odds: The Outsiders
Joanna Page, Ade Adepitan and AJ Odudu are all 12/1. Adepitan, a Paralympic medallist, is set to be the show's first campmate who uses a wheelchair.
The bookmakers disagree most about comedian Jack Skipper. He's 6/1 with Ladbrokes and Coral but 14/1 with bet365, which suggests they aren't sure how well a TikTok following will translate to an ITV audience.
When Does I'm A Celebrity 2026 Start?
I'm A Celebrity 2026 is expected to start on Monday 16 November at 21:00 GMT on ITV1 and ITVX, with Ant & Dec hosting from the Australian jungle again. The final date hasn't been announced yet.
