You’ll know it’s real when ITV drops the official trailer, usually about two to three weeks before the premiere in November. Keep an eye on their social media—it’ll be plastered with “Coming Soon” graphics and blurry silhouettes of celebrities. It’s their version of a drumroll.
When does I'm A Celeb 2026 start
Also, listen for Ant and Dec to casually mention it on their other shows. They love a good tease. If you see them grinning in a jungle-themed background on Britain’s Got Talent? Bingo—the countdown has officially started.
Why you should mark your calendar now
Because I’m a Celeb is more than just a show—it’s a mood. It’s that cozy feeling of watching people miserable in the heat while you sip tea under a blanket. It’s peak British winter comfort, and you deserve to have that date locked in your brain.
So go ahead, pencil in “mid-November 2026” in your phone. Tell your friends. Start a betting pool on which celebrity will cry first. The jungle will be waiting, and Ant and Dec will be ready—with their perfect hair and questionable jungle attire. Got your popcorn ready?
