Eva Benetatou Doesn't Rule Out Finding a New Man in the Jungle - Eva Benetatou joins I’m a Celebrity 2026 to reclaim her public image
Eva Benetatou, best known as the 2019 runner-up on The Bachelor, is set to join the 2026 season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! The reality TV star will enter the jungle alongside eleven other contestants when the show begins on January 23. Born Evanthia Benetatou, she has Greek heritage and currently lives in Düsseldorf with her young son.
Before her television career, Benetatou worked as a flight attendant for Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi. She first gained public attention after appearing on The Bachelor and later took part in several other reality shows. Now, at 33, she enters the jungle as a single mother to her son, George Angelos.
This season, she aims to rebuild her public image following media criticism over her alleged involvement in an affair with a married influencer. While her focus remains on personal reinvention, she hasn’t dismissed the idea of finding a new relationship during the show. The upcoming series will be filmed in Australia, featuring twelve contestants in total. Among them is Luke Bateman, a former NRL player for the Canberra Raiders and another Bachelor alum. His participation was confirmed earlier, with the Australian version of the show premiering five days before Benetatou’s on January 18.
Benetatou’s appearance on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! marks her return to reality television after years of media scrutiny. The show will test her resilience as she navigates challenges in the jungle. Viewers will see whether her time there helps reshape her public perception or leads to unexpected connections.
