The wait is over I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has finally revealed its 2025 line-up, with the first arrivals spotted touching down in Australia and enjoying their last taste of luxury before entering the jungle.
Fronting the landmark 25th series are Loose Women favourite Kelly Brook, presenter and former footballer Alex Scott, and music icon Martin Kemp. They’ll be joined by comedian Ruby Wax, EastEnders star Shona McGarty, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, and viral sensation AngryGinge setting the stage for what could be one of the most entertaining seasons in the show’s history.
With Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly back at the helm, the ITV favourite returns this Sunday (November 16) from its legendary Dungay, New South Wales camp promising more critters, more chaos, and plenty of laughs.
Ruby Wax, 72, revealed she came close to turning down the show in the past, but felt now was “finally the right moment” to take on something bold. “It still doesn’t feel real that I’m doing this,” she admitted. “I want people to see who I truly am because in the jungle, there’s nowhere to hide.”
Viral streamer AngryGinge Morgan Burtwistle described joining the series as a lifelong dream, having watched it religiously with his mum. “Being without my phone for a couple of weeks… that’s the bit that’s going to break me!” he joked.
Alex Scott shared that her girlfriend, singer Jess Glynne, jokingly told her she was “completely mad” for signing up — but remains her biggest cheerleader. “Just thinking about my mum watching every night will set me off,” Alex admitted.
Fresh from leaving EastEnders, Shona McGarty said she’s ready to “discover who I am outside of Whitney Dean,” while Lisa Riley called joining the show the “ultimate 50th birthday present” — especially after a decade of sobriety and three decades on Emmerdale.
Kelly Brook was among the first to touch down in Brisbane, turning heads in a £250 orange-and-yellow dress. “I’m only here to visit my Auntie Sheila,” she teased, before confessing she’ll miss her dog Teddy and husband Jeremy. “Sleeping under the stars? I’m hoping Auntie Sheila’s got a spare room instead!”
Completing the cast, Martin Kemp said seeing his son Roman take part in 2019 gave him the push he needed. “It felt like the right moment for an adventure,” he said. “It’s iconic television — and I’m thrilled to finally be doing it.”
