Comedian Eddie Kadi has been voted out of the jungle, becoming the second celebrity to be eliminated from the 2025 series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Mixed Emotions for the Departing Comedian
Kadi's exit, confirmed on Monday 1 December 2025, came just two days after former footballer Alex Scott became the first contestant to leave the ITV reality show. Speaking after his elimination, Kadi described a whirlwind of feelings, telling hosts Ant and Dec that he was both "happy and sad" about his departure.
He reflected positively on his time in the Australian camp, stating he had made "amazing friends and faced fears" during the challenging experience. Kadi went further, suggesting the show had been life-changing, particularly in how it connected him to his family heritage.
"It changed my life and connected me to my Congolese heritage," Kadi explained, adding that the trials and basic living conditions had given him a new understanding of his grandparents' humility.
Leadership Drama and Butter Scandal
The episode that sealed Kadi's fate was not short of further drama back at camp. Tensions arose as the celebrities were tasked with selecting a new camp leader.
This vote followed a scandal involving the previous leader, Shona McCarty, and the discovery of contraband butter, a strictly forbidden luxury item in the jungle. In the ensuing vote, comedian and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax was chosen to take on the leadership role, placing her in charge of camp morale and duties.
What Comes Next for the Jungle Camp?
With Kadi's departure, the remaining contestants must now regroup under Wax's leadership. The public vote has proven its power, first removing Alex Scott and now Eddie Kadi, reminding everyone in camp that their popularity is constantly on the line.
As the 2025 series continues, viewers will be watching to see if the new leadership can steady the camp after the butter scandal and whether the bonds Kadi mentioned continue to strengthen among the remaining celebrities. The next elimination vote is now open, promising more suspense for the millions of fans following the series.
