ITV has unveiled the full line-up for the 25th season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! — and it’s one of the starriest casts yet. The new series kicks off Sunday, November 16 on Virgin Media One, with Ant and Dec once again hosting the hit reality show from the Australian jungle.
The landmark season, filmed in New South Wales, will feature 22 episodes packed with Bushtucker Trials, celebrity drama, and jungle challenges. Here’s the full cast and what to expect from each of this year’s campmates.
Comedy legend Ruby Wax is heading Down Under at 72, hoping to show a softer side of herself. Known for her sharp wit and bold personality, Wax has also become a leading mental health advocate, earning an OBE for her work.
“I was offered the chance to take part a long time ago and thought, ‘No, I could never do that,’ but now it’s the right time,” she said. “It will be nice for people to get to know the real me because you can’t hide in the jungle.”
Spandau Ballet bassist and actor Martin Kemp joins the camp this year, following in the footsteps of his son Roman Kemp, who came third in a previous series.
“When Roman was on I’m A Celebrity, I was addicted,” he admitted. “It felt like the right time in my life for an adventure. I absolutely love the show; it’s iconic TV.”
Heart Radio presenter and model Kelly Brook, 45, has changed her mind about joining the jungle after years of saying she never would.
“I didn’t think it was ever in me to do the challenges,” she confessed. “But since being with my husband, we’ve done things that surprised me. I ran the London Marathon this year — so I thought, maybe I can cope!”
Reality star Jack Osbourne is entering the jungle hoping to find focus following the recent passing of his father, Ozzy Osbourne.
“It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving my family behind,” he said. “I hope I can make them proud.”
Jack first rose to fame on The Osbournes and later hosted Adrenaline Junkie — so he’s no stranger to adventure.
Manchester rapper Aitch (real name Harrison Armstrong) is trading the studio for the jungle, aiming to inspire younger fans and raise awareness for Down syndrome, inspired by his sister, Gracie.
“You don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever,” he said. “I’ve got this calling to raise awareness, and I feel this is the perfect place.”
Former England footballer Alex Scott is ready to test her limits in the jungle. The ex-Lioness says her partner, singer Jess Glynne, thinks she’s “absolutely mental” for signing up.
“People assume I’m loud and outgoing, but I can be shy,” she admitted. “My challenge will be speaking out among all the big personalities.”
Social media star Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwistle) brings a younger, digital edge to this year’s camp.
“I’ve watched the show with my mum ever since I was a kid,” he said. “But two to three weeks without my phone? That’s going to be educational!”
After 16 years playing Whitney Dean on EastEnders, Shona McGarty is ready to show the real her.
“Everyone expects me to be my character, but I’m nothing like that,” she said. “Now that I’ve left EastEnders, I want to find out who I am away from the script.”
Eddie Kadi, the first Black British comedian to headline The O2, joins the jungle after appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.
“I’m not too great on rice and beans,” he joked. “The closest I’ve come to camping is walking in Kew Gardens — so this is going to be a first!”
Lisa Riley, beloved for her role as Mandy Dingle, says she finally agreed to join the show after a year of milestones.
“I’m going to be 50 next year, it’s thirty years on and off in Emmerdale, and ten years sober,” she said. “It felt like everything aligned — and it’s I’m A Celebrity’s 25th anniversary too.”
With a line-up mixing comedy legends, pop icons, athletes, and viral stars, this year’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! promises to be one of the most unpredictable — and emotional — seasons yet.
