- The confirmed cast spans sport, TV and social media and includes Wayne Rooney, Joanna Page, Paralympian Ade Adepitan, Chloe Burrows, Ricky Wilson, Sharky, AJ Odudu, Jack Skipper, Leomie Anderson, Claire Sweeney and Mariella Frostrup.
- Multiple outlets reported that several contestants, including Rooney, Sharky, Ade Adepitan and Ricky Wilson, have arrived in Brisbane ahead of the opening show.
- Show producers say they have worked with Ade Adepitan to adapt the camp so he can compete in a wheelchair, a first for the programme that may change how producers plan trials and campsite logistics.
- Unverified reports from a showbiz account on X claiming widely different appearance fees—most notably a large figure for Rooney—have circulated widely but have not been confirmed by ITV or representatives.
