Overview
- Two tabloid outlets have published alleged full cast lists that place former England footballer Wayne Rooney at the front of the line-up.
- The same reports name other participants including Ricky Wilson, Joanna Page, Claire Sweeney, Leomie Anderson, YouTuber Sharky, AJ Odudu, Mariella Frostrup, Chloe Burrows, Leigh Francis and Jack Skipper.
- Broadcasters are said to be flying the UK contestants to Australia for the new season, but ITV has not formally confirmed the roster or production details.
- The reports identify presenter and Paralympian Ade Adepitan as a participant, which would be notable as the first wheelchair user on the British edition if verified.
- Coverage so far is driven by tabloid leaks and secondary outlets, so viewers should await an official ITV announcement for final cast and scheduling confirmation.
