As I'm a Celebrity gears up to make a return to screens next week, ITV has unveiled some key changes to camp ahead of welcoming 11 new arrivals.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed which famous faces will be heading into the jungle, including football legend Wayne Rooney, actress Joanna Page and Paralympian and TV presenter Ade Adeptian MBE.

With Ade joining the series, this will be the first time I'm a Celebrity has welcomed someone who uses a wheelchair into the jungle.

Productive conversations with Ade about joining the 2026 series began last year, and he was flown out to Australia earlier this year to visit camp and work with the production team to identify areas that would need to be adapted.

The team has since been working with Ade to ensure camp is accessible for him. ITV have noted that camp is accessible for Ade’s needs, not all wheelchair users.

The new features include modified pathways so they are deeper, parking bays for Ade's wheelchairs have been created so he can transfer between crutches and wheelchair, as he would outside the camp.

New areas have also been installed for resting along the path from camp to the creek. A stairlift has also been installed to access the jungle shower.

Ade will have three wheelchairs in and around camp along with three pairs of crutches left where needed, another wheelchair for the trials and an electric wheelchair that can handle more difficult terrain.

ITV has stressed that although the team has worked with Ade on accessibility, he has not been told any format points, bushtucker trials or anything else that has been planned for the new series - this will be a total surprise for him, just like everyone else.

Kiosk Kev has also had some changes ahead of the new series and he'll be working from home!

As teased by ITV, viewers will get to see Kev relaxing at home on his verandah, as he continues to be the person the celebrities call when they take part in challenges.

ITV added: "The centrepiece of every Jungle Hotline challenge – which still takes place out of camp – is the golden phone box. Each time, it’s locked shut in a different way, and the challenge is to figure out how to get inside it. If the campmates manage to open it, they will be able to call Kiosk Kev to order a treat on his brand new Jungle Hotline.

"Kev will then call the famous red phone box and for the first time ever the treat will be revealed in camp, locked inside the brand new British red post box. To actually get their hands on the treat, the celebrities in camp will have to complete a task or answer a question given to them by Kev.

"If they pass, the post box will open and the campmates will win the treat. But if they lose it will be destroyed in front of their very eyes and out of reach forever."
