Here’s who has left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia 2026

The first contestant to leave I’m A Celebrity was singer Deni Hines. Unfortunately, the jungle life and all its facilities – or lack thereof – just wasn’t up to par.

“I’m at the end of my tether here, I really am. I wish I could just walk out,” she said at the beginning of the episode. Later, she turned to her campmates to reveal her decision.

“I have decided to go home. I haven’t been able to go to the toilet for six days – I don’t feel good about that.”

As viewers know, Deni started to ruffle some feathers in the jungle with a small argument breaking out with former MAFS participant, Cyrell Paule. Even Neighbours Rebekah Elmaloglou and comedian Nath Valvo shared some grievances with the singer. However, she said in an interview with The Weekly that she still has “time for some of them.”

Rachel was the victim of the season’s first elimination. In contrast to previous seasons, the celebrities had to choose two people to go head-to-head in an elimination challenge.

The New Zealand model and actress was pitted against Love Island‘s Matt Zukowski. They had to play a game of bluff, and she was bested by Matt, who was surprised that he ended up winning.

The “Reality Hunk” was the third person to leave the jungle and the second to be eliminated. He departed in Episode 12 after facing Dyson Heppell and Luke Bateman in the elimination challenge.

During his exit, Matt reflected on overcoming his fear of heights in an early solo challenge and spoke candidly about sharing his personal struggles on screen.

“Being open with it actually helped me heal,” he said, adding that he hopes Dyson goes on to win the series.

Barry is the fourth celebrity to leave the jungle. In episode 13, Luke and Dyson have to nominate two celebrities to go head-to-head in an elimination challenge. They chose Barry and Rebekah.

The two nominees have to drop a ball into a zig-zag tunnel and land the ball in a motorised boat. It’s all about timing.

Barry lands his first two easily and then starts to fumble. Rebekah misses her first two, then lands her next three. When they’re all tied up, the boat is sped up. Barry misses his, and Rebekah lands hers. And so, the legendary Greg Brady, eldest son of the Brady Bunch, is sent packing.

In his exit interview, Barry calls the experience “unforgettable.”

“This was my dream…and I just jumped at it…and it was everything that I hoped for,” 

From earning a nickname, aka Big Bad Baz, to joining the Aussie rat pack and taking one for the team with the eating challenge, he gave his all. 

Throughout his time in the jungle, Dyson Heppell opened up about his career highs and lows, his charity work and life beyond the game. Now, his I’m A Celebrity chapter has wrapped, marking the end of a memorable run in camp.

“Not an ideal scenario…but at least I’ve been knocked out by my main main, Gaz,” says Dyson. Gary knocked him out in their elimination challenge. They had to repeat a musical sequence back, and the first person to miss three notes was sent home. Dyson was that person.

“I’ve had an absolutely belter of a time,” he says to Robert and Julia in his exit interview.

Mia came in as a legacy in the game. Her father, Brendan, famously won the show in 2016.

Throughout her time on the show, she used the platform as an opportunity to draw attention to the online and in-person harassment she’s received solely for being the girlfriend of various football players.

Football fans would blame her for her football-playing boyfriends missing a goal or not performing at matches. They would post photos of Mia and them after a poor performance.  

“It’s gone from social media random trolling and bullying online to in-person attacks,” she adds. “People don’t understand the effects of trolling. Women were taught silence is dignified…but no silence is making it stop,” she says. “It’s so wrong to sit here and let it happen.”

Mis and Cyrell went head-to-head in a word-based elimination challenge. However, Cyrell correctly guessed the word first, sending Mia home.

“It was everything and more; it was literally life-changing,” said Mia to Robert and Julia in her exit interview. “I have overcome so many fears and pushed past so many boundaries.”

Former MasterChef judge came into the jungle on a redemption mission. Following a wage scandal, George dropped out of the spotlight for a few years. He’s on his way back, and his first major appearance was on this season of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

“I don’t need to win anything here,” he said to Robert Irwin and Julia Morris on his exit interview. He praised the character of his fellow celebs. “Kindness is not something we should take for granted.”

George was knocked out in an elimination where he went head to head to head with Nath and Concetta. They were blindfolded and held by various ropes over a mud pit. Whoever got a trivia question correct could choose whose ropes to cut. But they didn’t know how many ropes there were. The three of them developed a close friendship, so it was a tough challenge for them on many levels. In the end, although they kept it fairly even on purpose, George’s rope was the final one cut. Sending him home.

In the penultimate episode, Cyrell was nominated to go into an elimination challenge with Rebekah. The two are good friends in the jungle, so neither wanted to send the other home.

However, in the end, Rebekah bested her in the challenge.

“If I had to be anyone, I’m glad it was you, from one mamma bear to another,” Cyrell says to Rebekah. “You deserve this.”

Cyrell says that her “inner strength” and wanting to “make my little boy proud” drove her in the jungle. And even though she didn’t win, she says, “I am queen in my own heart.”

In the final elimination challenge, Nath, Rebekah and Gary were going head-to-head to solve a puzzle whose pieces were in a box of snakes and spiders. Sadly for Nath and Rebekah, Gary solved it first, securing his place in the finale and sending Nath and Rebekah home.

“I would have never got that,” Nath says when he looks at the solved puzzle. “We would have been here until tomorrow.”

“I’m a very nervous, anxious sook,” Nath says, incredulous that it made it this far. He adds that if someone had told him he would be in the top five, “I would have laughed in your face”.

After surviving two elimination challenges, Rebekah, Nath and Gary were the final three vying for their spot in the grand finale in the penultimate episode.

Sadly for Rebekah, Gary bested the two of them, sending her home.

“I’m feeling okay, I’m proud to be in the top five,” says Rebekah. But she is never going camping again. 

The charity she was fighting for was Sane Australia, which supports people with mental illnesses and also their support networks, like their loved ones and carers. Her husband was recently diagnosed with bipolar type 1, and she is campaigning for more support.

“I really want the stigma to ease a little bit.”
