Season 12 of Ten’s “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” has officially kicked off, returning Australian audiences to the jungle with a new batch of familiar faces ready to be pushed well beyond their comfort zones.
Hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris welcomed the new arrivals in their signature fashion, delivering a chaotic and shock-filled introduction to camp life that set the tone for the weeks ahead. From the moment they arrived, the celebrities were thrown straight into the deep end, facing the reality of jungle living with minimal comforts and maximum surprises.
This season’s cast includes an eclectic mix of entertainment, sport and pop culture personalities. Among them are international supermodel Rachel Hunter, “Brady Bunch” star and Hollywood sitcom legend Barry Williams, content creator Mia Fevola (daughter of Brendan Fevola), and Australian soap royalty Rebekah Elmaloglou. They’re joined by former NRL player and current ‘BookTok’ favourite Luke Bateman, alongside comedian Nath Valvo.
Music and television fans will also recognise ARIA Award-winning singer Deni Hines and acclaimed actor Gary Sweet, while the sporting world is also represented by AFL star Dyson Heppell. Rounding out the initial lineup is comedian and triple j Breakfast host Concetta Caristo, bringing her sharp humour to the camp.
As the celebrities settle into their makeshift jungle home, two additional stars are already en route to join the camp, with their identities set to be revealed tonight (Monday, January 19th), promising to shake up camp dynamics even further.
