However, he won’t be making an appearance on Unpacked when it returns this autumn.
Only Sam – who was in 2023 – and Capital radio DJ Kemi will come back as hosts, ITV confirmed on Thursday.
Joel, who was a runner-up to Scarlett Moffatt on the 16th series of I’m A Celebrity in 2016, also failed to present earlier this year alongside Sam and Kemi.

Unpacked will continue to serve up camp drama, celebrity guests and unseen clips reviewing the main action in the jungle.
Once the vote-offs begin, each celebrity campmate will join the Unpacked studio fresh from their stint in the jungle to discuss their experience.
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam said he “can’t wait” to get back in the studio.
“It’s no secret I absolutely love I’m A Celebrity… I keep pinching myself on how lucky I am that I get to present on one of the best shows on TV,” he enthused.
“I love working with Kemi and I can’t wait for us to get started on the new series.
“We promise you we’ll be there to deliver you all the jungle gossip. Bring it on!”
Kemi added: “I’m A Celebrity… is the biggest and most entertaining show on TV and I’m absolutely buzzing that Unpacked is back for the class of 2026!
“With my jungle pal Sam, we’ll be bringing viewers all the backstage gossip live every night and I can’t wait.”
