The 25th series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is launching with a spectacular and stomach-churning start, as a group of celebrities including Martin Kemp and Kelly Brook will skydive directly into the Australian jungle.
A Dramatic Jungle Entrance
For the debut episode airing this Sunday at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX, viewers will see five famous faces make a heart-stopping arrival. Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, 64, and model Kelly Brook, 45, will be joined by rapper Aitch, comedian Eddie Kadi, and EastEnders actress Shona McGarty as they leap from a helicopter onto a beach.
Their adventure, however, begins the moment their feet touch the sand. The group will immediately face a gruesome task, forced to wade through a pit of offal and slime to retrieve a key fob. This key is their ticket to a getaway car that will transport them to the main jungle camp.
Luxury and Creepy Crawlies Await Other Campmates
Not all contestants will have the same harrowing journey to camp. The five other celebrities will enjoy a taste of luxury before their ordeal begins. Comedian Ruby Wax, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, reality TV's Jack Osbourne, sports broadcaster Alex Scott, and social media personality Morgan Burtwistle, known as Angry Ginge, will first arrive at a luxury villa.
Their comfort will be short-lived, as they must then battle for a seat in the coveted getaway car. To earn their place, they will be subjected to two of the show's classic fear-inducing trials. They will be asked to put their hands into a box filled with green ants to unscrew bolts and release a car fob. In a second terrifying test, they will have their heads placed inside boxes containing snakes.
Spin-Off Show Returns
Fans eager for even more jungle content will be pleased to know the spin-off show Unpacked is also returning. It will be presented by comedian Joel Dommett and Capital radio DJ Kemi Rodgers, offering a deeper analysis of the camp's events on ITV2 and ITVX.
With a mix of dramatic entrances, disgusting challenges, and creepy crawlies, the launch of the 25th series promises to be one of the most memorable yet, testing the mettle of its celebrity contestants from the very first moment.
