The possible appearance of a certain “headline-grabbing Olympian” on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Has taken the fans of the show by surprise.
Teasing the next season’s cast in an Instagram post on Thursday, viewers immediately speculated that there could be a potential TV return for polarizing Australian breakdancer Regan.
But he made one thing very clear – this would not be welcome.

“A headline-grabbing Olympian has a ticket to the African jungle! 🎟️”, read the caption.
The post, featuring hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris, suggested that a “freestyle lover” was in the woods in Season 7, which is set to air in January.
While some followers described several Olympians as worthy of fitting this mold, others threatened to end the show entirely if the controversial breakdancer was revealed.
“Okay, I’ll assume it’s Regan,” one person said. “But other freestylers may include: Arianne Titmuss – freestyle swimming. Sally Fitzgibbons – surfing. Torra Bright – freestyle snowboarding.
“Former Olympian pole vaulter Liz Parnov,” suggested another.
One person commented, “If it’s Regan I’m boycotting the show.”
“If it’s Regan, I’m not looking 🤷♀️,” another claimed.
The reality show drops celebrities into the jungle and forces them to leave their comfort zone.
On Wednesday, the series hinted at an extensive list of personalities who are ready to sacrifice their comfort in the pursuit of a return to fame.
The clues were a “stadium superstar”, a “football strongman” and a “comedy genius”.
