We already knew All Stars was on the horizon – Ten announced it right after season 4 wrapped up. Our first eight castaways, unveiled this morning, include season 1 stars Brooke Jowett, Felicity “Flick” Eggington, Nick Iadanza, and Phoebe Timmins. Henry Nicholson (season 2), Mark “Tarzan” Herlaar (season 2), Mat Rogers (season 3), and David Genat (season 4) are all locked in too.

Ten also announced a new season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ with Julia Morris and Dr. Chris Brown returning as hosts.
In case you missed it, the network also revealed the three new judges replacing Matt Preston, Gary Mehigan, and George Calombaris after 11 seasons on Masterchef Australia. Andy Allen (Masterchef Australia season 4 winner ), Melissa Leong (food and travel writer), and Jock Zonfrillo (owner and chef of Orana) will take the reins.
Ten also confirmed season 12 will be all-stars, with contestants from the past 11 seasons returning to the Masterchef kitchen.
Zonfrillo told 10Daily that a handful of these former contestants are now established in the industry, with their own restaurants and businesses.
“But now to see them back, putting their knowledge against each other in the Masterchef kitchen, sets the stage for the most exciting season yet.”
Of course, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and The Bachelor in Paradise will all be returning too. Shocker.
