I break betting odds news as it happens, so youโ€™re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • NYKChazza, member of online collective Bov Boys, is the 2/1 favourite to appear in I'm A Celebrity 2026
  • Sidemen members Miniminter and KSI are both priced at 3/1, with KSI's current role as a judge on Britain's Got Talent raising his mainstream profile
  • Boris Johnson is the 8/1 wildcard of the market, a price that reflects the enormous television spectacle a former Prime Minister entering the jungle would create

All Stars Is Over And the Jungle Is Already Calling for 2026

The dust has barely settled on one of the most dramatic I'm A Celebrity finales in the show's history, and already the betting sites are looking ahead to what promises to be another unmissable series. 

Adam Thomas was crowned the ultimate jungle legend at the All Stars live final, a chaotic, compelling evening that saw accusations fly between campmates and David Haye, Sinitta and Gemma Collins all weigh in before Thomas was eventually crowned King, and the conversation has already turned to who will be heading into the Australian jungle for the main 2026 series this November. 

For those wanting to back future markets, the best entertainment betting sites offer specials, and our dedicated I'm A Celebrity betting page has everything you need ahead of the series.

The 2025 main series changed the conversation around I'm A Celebrity in a way that will define the show for years to come. 

Angry Ginge, the internet personality and content creator whose jungle journey captured the imagination of a generation of younger viewers, proved conclusively that the influencer era of I'm A Celebrity is not a passing trend but a seismic, permanent shift in the show's identity.

NYKChazza and the Influencer Wave

NYKChazza leads the 2026 contestant odds at 2/1, a price that reflects both his enormous online following and the very deliberate template that Angry Ginge's success has set for ITV's casting team. 

A member of the Bov Boys, NYKChazza has built a fanbase characterised by the kind of passionate, vote-happy loyalty that I'm A Celebrity producers dream about. 

The public vote is the engine of the show and influencer fanbases, as Angry Ginge's run demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt, turn out to vote in extraordinary numbers.

Sidemen members Miniminter and KSI follow at 3/1 apiece and are two of the most recognisable names in the global YouTube and content creation landscape. 

Miniminter, real name Simon Minter, is one of the founding members of the Sidemen and has maintained a consistent, beloved online presence across more than a decade. 

KSI, real name Olajide Olatunji, is perhaps the most mainstream-crossover name in the entire market. 

His current role as a judge on Britain's Got Talent has introduced him to the kind of prime-time ITV audience that the I'm A Celebrity casting team will have watched with great interest.

Sports Stars, Familiar Faces and the Boris Johnson Wildcard

Beyond the influencer contingent, the market is packed with names that would each bring their own compelling dynamic to the jungle. 

Phil Taylor and Tommy Fury share the 3/1 price. 

Taylor, the 16-time world darts champion, would bring the kind of beloved, instantly recognisable sporting icon energy that has served the show well for two decades, while Fury's combination of celebrity profile, boxing pedigree and family notoriety makes him one of the most talked-about potential contestants year after year.

Peter Crouch at 7/2 feels almost inevitable at this point as the former England striker and beloved podcast host is exactly the kind of charming, self-deprecating personality that thrives in the jungle environment

Attwood in particular is a name that has been linked with the show for years, having famously been forced to withdraw from the 2022 series on medical grounds just 72 hours after entering the jungle.

And then there is Boris Johnson at 8/1, the market's most explosive proposition. 

A former Prime Minister entering the Australian jungle would be one of the most extraordinary television moments in the show's 24-year history, generating the kind of global media coverage that money cannot buy. 

Johnson's post-Downing Street public profile, his well-documented appetite for spectacle and the enormous public appetite for seeing him face Bushtucker Trials make this a bet that is very hard to entirely dismiss.

Where To Bet on I'm A Celebrity 2026

With the 2026 series expected to air this November, the contestant odds will move considerably between now and the official lineup announcement. 

A wide range of UK betting sites will start to offer I'm A Celebrity contestant and winner markets throughout the series, and new customers may find free bets available to get started.

OLBG Expert View

What the expert says...
NYKChazza at 2/1 is the logical favourite given what Angry Ginge achieved in 2025, as ITV now know exactly what an influencer with a passionate fanbase can do for the show's ratings and the public vote, and they will want to replicate it. The name I'd be backing at a bigger price is KSI at 3/1 as he is already on ITV screens as a Britain's Got Talent judge, the relationship is clearly there, and his crossover appeal to both mainstream and online audiences is unmatched in this entire market.
