Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on July 23 and 24 that Adepitan is in advanced negotiations to appear on I'm A Celebrity and that production is working on ways to make the jungle accessible.
- ITV has declined to confirm any castings and described named contestants as speculation, so the move remains widely reported but unverified.
- Sources say producers are exploring specific changes to the camp and Bushtucker Trials to accommodate a wheelchair user, including logistics for mobility and trial design.
- Adepitan contracted polio as an infant, won a Paralympic bronze medal with Team GB wheelchair basketball in 2004, and is a well‑known TV presenter and disability campaigner.
- Past series have featured contestants with visible or invisible disabilities and, if signed, Adepitan’s presence could increase public focus on accessibility in reality TV and prompt attention to how producers implement adaptations.
