I'm A Celebrity: Ex Strictly star Seann Walsh to 'return to jungle' for All Stars series
Natasha Rigler | 10:47am Wed 23 JulI’m A Celebrity producers are in ‘advanced talks’ with Seann Walsh for the All Stars series, according to reports.
The shamed Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, is said to be poised to return to the jungle for the South Africa spin-off.
Seann finished fifth in I’m A Celebrity in 2022 after managing to change the public’s perception of him.
He had previously faced a massive backlash after being caught kissing pro-dancer Katya Jones while appearing on Strictly.

Seann was accused by his now ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries of branding her “psycho” and “nuts”. He has since said he “needed treatment for depression and anxiety” in the aftermath.
Seann is now a dad to a three-year-old daughter and has been in a new relationship since 2019.
A source told The Sun: “When he went into the jungle in 2022 he very much did it in the hope of redeeming himself in the eyes of the viewing public.
“Which was no mean feat given he’d been branded an aggressive gaslighter as a result of his fling with Katya and his treatment of his girlfriend.
“Yet he managed to emerge as one of the more popular campmates and actually finished in a respectable fifth place in the contest.”

Who else is going in the All Stars jungle?
News of Seann Walsh’s potential return to I’m A Celebrity comes days after two other names were thrown into the hat.
It has also been reported that Harry Redknapp and Gemma Collins could be returning for the spin-off series.
Harry, 78, became the oldest I’m A Celeb winner when he took part in the show in 2018. He was 71 when he was crowned King Of The Jungle.
Gemma, meanwhile, was not so successful on the ITV show but her time in Australia is just as memorable. The reality star, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex, lasted just three days.
Gemma, 44, quit after having a meltdown in a helicopter – before it had even left the ground.
I’m A Celebrity…South Africa bosses are said to be close to signing both names for the new All Stars series.
When is the All Stars series of I’m A Celebrity on?
I’m A Celebrity…South Africa is pre-recored, unlike I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. It is due to be filmed this autumn and will air in 2026.
The format of the All Stars spin-off series means the public are unable to vote while the show is on. During the regular series, viewers can vote for celebrities to face Bush Tucker Trials and for their winner.

I’m A Celebrity…South Africa has only aired one series before. It ran in 2023 and Myleene Klass was crowned the I’m A Celebrity ‘Legend’ after beating Jordan Banjo in the final.
The pair’s last challenge was an disgusting eating one. Poor Myleene was so unwell during it that she had to vomit in a bush.
Is I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! still on in 2025?
Although ITV will be busy this autumn in South Africa, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! will still go ahead.
A brand new crop of famous faces will also fly to Australia this November to take part in the regular series of the hugely popular reality show.
The names of the celebrities taking part will not be announced until much nearer the time, although England footballer Jack Grealish and Jamie Oliver’s wife Jools are both rumoured.
