Ade Adepitan, a Paralympian and disabled television presenter, is preparing to take part in the 2026 series of ITV’s “I’m A Celebrity.” Multiple outlets report he has been flown to Australia and has already visited the jungle camp as producers prepare for him to be the first wheelchair user in the show’s history.
The coverage also notes that producers and ITV have adapted the camp to support accessibility for Adepitan’s “bespoke” or specific needs, with arrangements discussed over months. Some outlets focus on how long the production has been preparing and the level of tailoring to the camp environment, while others emphasise the novelty of his casting and the changes made to the camp ahead of his arrival.
While the reports differ mainly in emphasis and wording, they converge on the same core points: Adepitan’s role as the first wheelchair user, his preparations and travel to Australia, and accessibility adjustments to the camp so he can live there during the series.
