triple j’s Concetta Caristo crowned Queen of the Jungle

triple j host Concetta Caristo can now add Queen of the Jungle to her CV, after being crowned the winner of Network 10’s I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! for 2026.

Caristo – who co-hosts triple j Breakfast with Luka Muller – triumphed over fellow finalists Gary Sweet and Luke Bateman in a finale that went down the wire.

Caristo wins $100,000 for her chosen charity, Full Stop Australia – one of the nation’s leading support services for people impacted by domestic, family, and sexual violence.

She told show hosts Robert Irwin and Julia Morris that she signed up for the show to challenge herself.

“The whole reason I’m here is to push through and to tell myself I can do this, and push through the fear. Otherwise, what’s the literal point?”
