The countdown to the 2025 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has officially begun, with the star-studded line-up of campmates preparing to face the Australian jungle. While all participants will receive a significant fee for their appearance, their real wealth has been built through years of success in their respective fields, from sports and music to television and comedy.
From Football to Fame: The Jungle's Financial Heavyweights
This year's contestants boast a remarkably wide range of net worths, reflecting their diverse careers and varying lengths of time in the public eye. While bookies' favourite Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwistle) has reportedly amassed over £1 million through his music career, he finds himself at the lower end of the financial spectrum compared to some jungle veterans.
At the summit sits Jack Osbourne with an impressive £11 million fortune. As part of the famous Osbourne family, Jack has carved his own path through reality television and successful podcast ventures, securing his position as the wealthiest campmate.
The Millionaire Campmates: A Detailed Breakdown
The financial landscape of the 2025 jungle features several notable fortunes. Comic Eddie Kadi enters with £1.2 million, having boosted his wealth through his 2023 Strictly Come Dancing appearance and Netflix specials.
Former football star Alex Scott brings £1.8 million to camp, transitioning successfully from the pitch to lucrative punditry roles with BBC and Sky Sports.
Music and acting legend Martin Kemp arrives with £3.2 million, built through decades of success with Spandau Ballet, his EastEnders role, and current work as a DJ.
American star Ruby Wax matches rapper Aitch at £3.5 million each. Ruby has built her fortune as an actor, presenter, comedian, and mental health advocate through her organisation Frazzled, while BRIT-winning Aitch has generated wealth through massive Spotify followings and successful tours.
Lisa Riley enters with £4 million, accumulated through nearly 30 years on Emmerdale as Mandy Dingle and substantial earnings from Loose Women.
Former EastEnders mainstay Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean for 15 years, brings £5.5 million to the jungle, supplemented by appearances on other reality shows like Dancing On Ice.
Completing the top tier is Kelly Brook with £7.5 million, earned through modelling, Hollywood roles, clothing lines, and her Heart Radio show.
Beyond the Jungle: What These Fortunes Reveal
The diverse net worths highlight how reality television now attracts established stars from every corner of entertainment. The substantial financial cushions these celebrities possess suggest they're not participating out of financial necessity but rather for the challenge and continued public exposure.
As the 16 November start date approaches, viewers can anticipate how these financial disparities might influence camp dynamics, though the jungle has a notorious reputation for levelling the playing field regardless of outside wealth and status.
