I\u2019m A Celebrity All Stars<\/a> has reportedly signed up Olympic legend Sir Mo Farah<\/a> for the upcoming series.<\/p>\n

The I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 South Africa<\/a> version of the show is set to return at the start of 2026, after it first aired in 2024, reuniting old campmates from the jungle in a desert setting.<\/p>\n

The latest series saw Shaun Ryder<\/a>, Gillian McKeith<\/a>, Helen Flanagan<\/a>, Phil Tufnell<\/a>, and Jordan<\/a> Banjo return to the world of daily challenges, with Myleene Klass<\/a> ultimately coming out on top.<\/p>\n

The rumour mill for the upcoming All Stars series is already starting to whirr into life, with Sir Mo, 42, the latest name reported to have signed up, after first appearing in the show for its one series at Gwrych Castle<\/a> in Wales.<\/p>\n

Given that Emmerdale actor Danny Miller triumphed that year, a source told The Sun<\/a>: \u2018Mo is very competitive so is definitely out to win this time round.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The long-distance runner is also said to have suggested that he chose to appear on All Stars over an offer to join this year\u2019s Strictly Come Dancing line-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sir Mo entered the ITV castle alongside Shane Richie, Beverley Callard and Vernon Kay in 2020, when each contestant had to undergo a period of isolation before appearing on the show, given it was during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The two-time Olympic gold medal winner isn\u2019t the only name in the mix for the next I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 South Africa series, with Ashley Roberts also reportedly being eyed up by bosses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Pussycat Doll, 43, is one of the names in the mix, alongside comedian Seann Walsh, 39, who appeared on the show after his Strictly Come Dancing kissing scandal four years prior.<\/p>\n

In addition to that already impressive roster, King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp is also said to be close to signing on the dotted line with ITV bosses.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll just have to wait and see who ITV rustles up for the All Stars line-up once it’s announced closer to next year’s air date.<\/p>\n

Metro contacted Sir Mo Farah\u2019s representative for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 South Africa will return to ITV1 and ITVX early next year.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
