The 25th series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has officially launched on ITV, with ten famous faces taking a leap of faith into the Australian jungle. The class of 2025 has begun their quest to be crowned the next King or Queen of the jungle, but the drama has already started brewing back at camp.
An Awkward Jungle Reunion
Among the household names is model and television personality Kelly Brook, whose arrival has set the stage for a potentially uncomfortable encounter with the show's legendary hosts, Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. Reports have surfaced that Brook has held a long-standing grudge against the presenting duo since her time on Britain's Got Talent.
A source revealed that Kelly believes the pair were "snobby" towards her due to her background as a Page 3 model, suggesting "they didn't think she had any talent." Brook herself has previously stated she would never do the show, listing her reasons as "I don't like spiders, I don't like enclosed spaces, not a fan of Ant and Dec." As the series kicks off, viewers are watching closely to see how this frosty reunion unfolds on screen.
The 'Juicy' Late Arrival Tied to a Past Scandal
As the original campmates settle in, fan speculation is rife about the show's traditional late arrivals. This year, the buzz centres on Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson, who were absent from the initial line-up. The speculation intensified when Vogue's husband, Spencer Matthews, appeared on Good Morning Britain.
When asked directly if his wife would be entering the jungle, Spencer remained coy, stating, "I know nothing!" His refusal to issue a direct denial has been interpreted by many fans as a confirmation. This potential casting is considered particularly "juicy" due to Spencer's own history with the show.
A decade ago, Spencer Matthews' own jungle journey was cut short scandalously. He was removed from the camp after just a few days when producers discovered he had been taking steroids and failed to disclose this information. His connection to a late arrival this year has certainly piqued the interest of long-time viewers.
Meet the 2025 Campmates
This milestone series features a diverse lineup of celebrities ready to face the bushtucker trials. The confirmed campmates who have skydived into the jungle are:
- Martin Kemp - 80s pop legend
- Kelly Brook - Loose Women star

- Shona McGarty - EastEnders icon
- Lisa Riley - Emmerdale legend
- Eddie Kadi and Ruby Wax - Comedians

With a mix of reality TV stars, music icons, and sporting heroes, the dynamics in camp are sure to be explosive. As the 25th series gets underway, the combination of pre-existing grudges and scandalous backstories promises to make this one of the most talked-about seasons yet.
