The jungle is buzzing with more drama and tension than ever as I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues its explosive 2025 series. Tonight's bumper episode promises a major highlight: the long-awaited return of the gruelling live trial, absent from our screens for six long years.
Live Trial Makes a Dramatic Comeback
In a thrilling twist for the show's 'Rivals' format, all twelve celebrities are set to face the dreaded live trial. The last time viewers witnessed a live broadcast of a trial from the Australian jungle was back in 2019, making this a significant moment for the ITV show.
Dubbed 'Cocktails of Cruelty', this head-to-head challenge will see each celebrity select two jungle ingredients to be mixed into a drink for their designated rival. On the command of hosts Ant and Dec, the campmates must down their concoctions. The first star to empty their glass and return it to the table will be declared the winner, with the stakes for victory said to be higher than ever before.
Jungle Romance Sparks Speculation
Beyond the trials, camp gossip is swirling around a potential romance between former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty and rapper Aitch. The pair have been spotted looking increasingly cosy, leading fans and fellow campmates to suspect a spark has ignited.
Shona entered the jungle single, having previously split from her famous musician fiancé, David Bracken. Aitch was also later confirmed to be unattached. The speculation was given weight when Aitch confessed to campmate Ginge, "I've got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me." When Ginge teased him, asking if he meant he thought she was nice, Aitch simply smiled and confirmed, "Yeah, that's what I mean."
Family and Friends Arrive Down Under
As the series progresses, the emotional stakes are rising with the arrival of loved ones in Australia. Lisa Riley's fiancé, Al, is the latest to touch down, and he addressed her recent on-screen confession of having a crush on a "juicy" Ant McPartlin.
Al, her partner of 11 years, insisted he had no concerns, stating, "There is no business like showbusiness, right? It's all good. I have no fears of her letting me go." He expressed immense pride in her and hopes she won't be the first to be eliminated.
Meanwhile, Jack Osbourne's wife, Aree, has also arrived. Her appearance comes amid worries that it was "too soon" for Jack to be in the jungle following the death of his father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. Aree commented, "I think it's kind of a funny time to be doing something like this, but it's helpful."
With the final now confirmed for next month, the competition is heating up. The return of the live trial, budding romances, and divided camp loyalties ensure that this year's I'm A Celebrity is one of the most unpredictable yet.
