Earlier this week, The Sun told how in a huge new move the UK and Aussie editions would be merged with major stars from both countries coming together for the series which will be aired simultaneously on Channel 4 in the UK and the Seven Network in Australia.
Now, we can exclusively reveal three of the stars who will be appearing on the next run.
Home and Away hunk Axel Whitehead will be appearing on the show after rising to international fame for playing Liam Murphy on the show between 2009 and 2013.
The actor also appeared briefly in fellow Aussie soap Neighbours in 2020.
He will be joined by two Olympic swimmers - including one with a famous reality star ex.
29-year-old Swimming champ Mack Horton and fellow Olympian, Emily Seebohm will also be on the cast.
Emily shares a child with MAFS heartthrob Ryan Gallagher although the pair are no longer together.
Ryan is best known for his time on the hit reality show as well as his brief romance with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby during their time on the Aussie version of I'm A Celebrity.
A source told The Sun of the three latest recruits: 'Bosses are working hard to make sure they sign an exciting variety of Aussie talent for the new series because of the format change.
'Soap fans will be no stranger to Axel after his time in both Home and Away and Neighbours, so he's a great coup for the show.
Watch as Celeb SAS Who Dares wins star Bianca Gascoigne QUITS show right at the very end of series
'And Olympic champions Emily and Mack are both extremely fit and strong after years of professional swimming. They're going to take the challenge very seriously.'
Two other Aussies have so far been revealed for the programme including soap star and singer Natalie Bassingthwaite and Jessika Power, who rose to fame on Married At First Sight Australia.
Jess has since relocated to England appearing on British shows including Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity Ex On The Beach.
Other UK stars who are understood to have signed up for the next series include Love Island winner Dani Dyer and Strictly hunk and rugby player, Ben Cohen.
Gladiators star Phantom AKA Toby Olubi will also be proving his stuff on the show alongside TikTok star Jack Joseph, 25.
England cricketer Graeme Swann, Love Island champ Gabby Allen and TikTok star Cole Anderson James are also understood to be on the line-up.

Scots Gogglebox couple brutally axed from show as fans fume over Channel 4's huge 'mistake'
Gogglebox stars Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle from Glasgow have been dumped from the show after three and a half years and fans are furious. Scots Gogglebox couple Roisin Kelly and Joe Kyle have announced their departure from the Channel 4 show after revealing they were not asked back for the upcoming season. The fan favourite duo, who hail from Glasgow, made their debut on the show at the beginning of 2022 as the first Scottish cast members to star on the programme in over six years. Gogglebox fans have been left gutted after Roisin, 26, took to TikTok yesterday to reveal that she and Joe, 28, had been dumped from the show after three and a half years and won't be back for season 26. The beloved pair, who moved in together after the pandemic, said it "had been an honour to represent Scotland" and expressed their gratitude for the "once in a lifetime opportunity". Their joint statement shared to Roisin's 62.5k TikTok followers read: "After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa, Channel 4 have decided it's time for Joe and I to stretch our legs and have not asked us back for season 26. Therefore we are leaving the Gogglebox family. "We couldn't be more grateful to Studio Lambert for the opportunity, the experience has actually been so mad and we will miss watching tv with you all on Friday nights! It's been an honour to represent Scotland as some of the first Scottish people on the show and prove we don't actually need subtitles." She continued: "We have made friends for life and after filming every week for years you have become like our family! We could not have asked for better people to work with and we will miss you immensely." After thanking all of the crew involved, she added: "A huge thank you to everyone who has watched us, met us and supported us during this experience, it has for sure been a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Time to watch TV in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn. Miss you already, Roisin and Joe." Alongside the statement, she lightheartedly shared a few hilarious memes of them being dropped from the show as well as a few snaps of them on the sofa over the years. One meme they made was a screengrab from Toy Story where Channel 4 is labelled as owner Andy and Roisin and Joe are Woody being dropped to the floor with the words: "I don't want to play with you anymore." Rushing to the comment section, fans expressed their disappointment to see Roisin and Joe leave the programme. One wrote: "No way. Definitely the best in there, we love you and Joe." A second chimed in: "Weird way for Channel 4 to let everyone know they no longer have taste." Someone else echoed: "Nooo! Loved you two. Channel 4 has made another mistake." A third upset fan wrote: "Loved you and Joe on Gogglebox. Won't be the same without you." A fourth particularly disappointed viewer exclaimed: "NOOOO I JUST FELL TO THE FLOOR IN ASDA." Others took the opportunity to take a swipe at the Channel 4 show as they complained about the lack of Scottish stars on the show. One fumed: "No doubt they'll be replaced by another English couple." A second agreed: "They should rename it Gogglebox from England."

The couple made Gogglebox history as the first Scottish duo to feature on the programme back in February 2022. Roisin, 26, and Joe, 28, have now disclosed that they were "not asked back" by Channel 4 for the upcoming series and have been "dumped" by the show after nearly four years. Sharing the devastating news on TikTok, Roisin penned: "After three and a half years of sitting on the sofa channel 4 have decided it's time for Joe and I to stretch our legs and have not asked us back for season 26. Therefore we are leaving the Gogglebox family. We couldn't be more grateful to Studio Lambert for the opportunity, the experience has actually been so mad and we will miss watching tv with you all on Friday nights! It's been an honour to represent Scotland as some of the first Scottish people on the show and prove we don't actually need subtitles," reports the Mirror. The Daily Record has contacted Channel 4 for a response. Roisin continued by expressing gratitude to the programme's crew, revealing: "We have made friends for life and after filming every week for years you have become like our family! We could not have asked for better people to work with and we will miss you immensely." Following her appreciation to their supporters, she concluded: "It for sure has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. Time to watch tv in silence for a bit and put down the popcorn. Miss you already, Roisin and Joe x x x." Alongside the announcement, Roisin also posted a collection of memes they had created - including one featuring a screenshot from Toy Story where Channel 4 is portrayed as villain Sid and the pair are represented by Woody being cast aside. "I don't want to play with you anymore," Sid is depicted saying. Another image displayed a weeping child with the text: "Being dumped from gogglebox." Yet the following picture featured Captain America's Anthony Mackie in celebration mode with the message: "No longer having to adhere to a contract and can work with brands and companies." Supporters immediately inundated the comments section with messages of encouragement, with one posting: "Loved you and Joe on Gogglebox. Won't be the same without you." Another declared: "NOOOOOOOOOO I JUST FELL TO THE FLOOR IN ASDA." A third commented: "That's a real shame," whilst a fourth remarked: "Awww no! I will miss you guys flying the flag for Scotland." Gogglebox airs every Friday on Channel 4, from 9pm and can be streamed via MY4.
