Maisie Adam has revealed she's been asked to appear on ITV's I'm A Celebrity, and although she's previously ruled it out, things have now changed for the comicDaniel Bird Assistant Celebrity and Entertainment Editor07:22, 23 May 2026Updated 07:22, 23 May 2026A huge comedian has hinted at appearing on I'm A Celeb. Maisie Adam may be known for her stand-up comedy, but in recent years, the 32-year-old has won over the nation with her quick wit and humour on multiple TV shows.‌Now, she's revealed that for several years, she's been in the running for ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, and while she's previously said no, this could be about to change. And it's thanks to pal, Twitch and YouTube star Angryginge, who won the show last year, that Maisie has reconsidered swapping the comforts of Yorkshire for the Australian jungle.‌Speaking to the Mirror, Maisie said: "I've been asked the last few years about I'm A Celeb, but maybe one day, look at the success Angryginge had on there, he did fantastic, didn't he.‌"It's a long time to be sleeping on the floor, I didn't do my Duke of Edinburgh, so I'm not really used to that kind of thing – but maybe, never say never." However, Maisie admits she loved watching pal Alan Carr win the first series of Celebrity Traitors, although she couldn't see herself doing well on the show."I'm terrible at lying, everything that I'm thinking, you'll see it on my face," Maisie said, adding, "I think I'd be murdered or banished within seconds, I think."‌Maisie says it's "important" and "special" to be part of a huge shift in entertainment, with more women taking centre stage again. And she says it's "lovely" to be part of inspiring more women to follow their dreams."The live comedy scene at the moment is fantastic, it's always a good night out, I don't think you'll ever be disappointed if you go to a comedy club in the UK," she said, adding: "It is probably one of the best scenes that I've seen." And Maisie says that seeing her heroes, Jen Beattie and Leah Williamson, going to comedy nights makes her realise her job is "cool".‌She said of being part of the comedy shift: "It's my favourite job in the world, it's not any different to when I was a kid at school, I like making people laugh and I like getting that reaction from people. If I can make people laugh at something that they wouldn't otherwise have thought to look at in that way, then I feel like I'm doing a good job."It's needed at the moment, it's a tough time, and there's lots going on in the world and in the UK, and it's always just nice to find the light in things and bring a bit of joy." And that joy is something Maisie is preparing to take on the road with her tour in September. "Then that'll carry on into 2027," she said, adding that she was preparing to add a string of more dates onto the production.‌This year, Maisie is returning to Soccer Aid for UNICEF, and she already can't wait to get stuck in with her teammates. "It's something I look forward to in my diary every single year," she said, before adding with a huge smile: "I love catching up with people who've done it, that I've done it with over the years but also there's always a new person that takes you by surprise of like how good they are on the pitch or just how cool they are as a person."It's like having a hen do or a stag do in the diary – excited to meet the ones you do know and excited to meet the ones you don't!" And over the last three years, Maisie has made lifelong friends, something she noticed minutes into her first Soccer Aid.She commented: "There's a real conscious effort from everybody to bring you in and all that bonding that goes on the three days in the run-up to the match is so lovely. You just find yourself in situations that you would never have normally imagined... You go to have your dinner, and somebody goes, 'Can I sit here?' And you look up, and it's Sir Mo Farah, you're like 'Yes, of course you can, please do.'"‌But while Maisie and her co-stars make the most of spending time together, she acknowledges that it's UNICEF which brings them together. "That's a huge part of the three days in the run-up," she said, explaining that the teams discuss the incredible work from UNICEF across the globe.During Maisie's second Soccer Aid, it was the year the event raised over £ 100 million for UNICEF. "Regardless of the result or tickets being sold, it was getting the number over that milestone," she said. But despite World XI losing, it was "emotional" for those taking part. "It's work that does not stop," she said.And each year, Soccer Aid, despite the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, manages to draw in huge audiences due to "fantastic" ticket prices. This year, an adult ticket costs £20, while a child's ticket costs £10. "It's fantastic," exclaimed Maisie, adding: "I think that's reflected in the crowd we have on the day.Article continues below"You can see everybody enjoying it, it's not certain people who are a bit more well off than others, or people who live closer to the stadium. People make a whole trip to go, and it's amazing. What other event can you see Joe Marler slide-tackling Jill Scott?" While laughing, Maisie added: "They're on the same team, but I wouldn't put it past Joe!"Soccer Aid for UNICEF takes place on Sunday 31st May at the London Stadium. Adult tickets start from £20 and juniors from £10: socceraid.org.uk/ticketsLike this story?
