Martin Kemp rumoured for I'm A Celebrity as he pulls out of appearance at last minute

Martin Kemp is heavily rumoured to be taking part in the latest series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! after a telling Instagram post.

The Spandau Ballet star and actor was due to appear at Fubar nightclub in Stirling this Saturday but he's been forced to pull out of the appearance.

Now a post from the nightclub on Instagram fuels rumours that he's heading to Australia for the new series of the ITV show fronted by Ant and Dec.

The post on Wednesday night complete with emojis of a palm tree and spider read: "We've just had word that Martin Kemp won't be able to join us this Saturday as planned. He's been called away for a major TV commitment (you'll no doubt see it all over the telly very soon).

"We know that's gutting news, especially for those who've sorted hotels or made plans around the night. Trust us, we're just as frustrated. We'd already paid for his travel and accommodation so this one stings for us too."

The statement continued: "The good news is we've secured a new date with him for Saturday 13th June 2026 and all tickets will automatically roll over. If you'd prefer a refund instead that's absolutely fine, you can grab a full refund directly through Skiddle.

"Just to be totally clear this wasn't a venue decision. It's out of our control due to TV commitments. Every ticket holder can either roll over or refund with zero hassle."

Daily Express has contacted ITV and Martin's representatives for a comment.

I'm A Celebrity is making a return to our screens on Sunday, November 16 and there have been plenty of rumours swirling about the line up, including Jack Osbourne, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, boxer Conor Benn ex-Love Island star Tommy Fury and Loose Women's Kelly Brook.

The first trailer for the 2025 edition, marking the show's 25th series, features Ant and Dec serving a bushtucker trial-style Christmas dinner.

In the 60-second teaser, the Geordie duo interrupts a family's Christmas celebration to present plates filled with items typically seen during food challenges where celebrities must consume gruesome food to earn stars for the camp.

The presenting pair sport matching Christmas jumpers decorated with patterns of spiders, bugs and the gold stars that have long been associated with the show. The family appears delighted as they are showered with maggots and other bugs upon opening their Christmas crackers.

Ant, 49, announces: "It's the most wonderful time of the year ... and it's about to get even better with the news that the new series of I'm A Celebrity... is just weeks away!"

Dec, 50, adds: "Yes, it's time to Ant and Dec(k) the halls and clear your diaries, because we're coming back to your screens on 16th November!"

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! returns to ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday, November 16
