The jungle is buzzing with anticipation as I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! returns to ITV, bringing with it a fresh wave of celebrity fears and gruelling challenges. The show's triumphant comeback on Sunday night has already captured the nation's attention, setting the stage for a dramatic three-week stint in the Australian wilderness.
Jungle Showdown: The Infamous Eating Trial
Tonight, all eyes will be on comedienne Ruby Wax and social media sensation Angry Ginge as they prepare to go head-to-head in one of the programme's most dreaded ordeals: a brutal eating trial. This grim challenge, designed to test their mettle and win meals for the camp, promises to be a highlight of the series. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the pair will cope with the unspeakable delicacies the jungle has to offer.
The new series launched with a spectacular entrance, as some celebrities made a heart-pounding sky-dive into the camp. Others took part in 'The Cockie Van' trial, a challenge that determined whether they would enjoy a comfortable ride to their new home or be subjected to a far rockier mode of transport.
A Star-Studded Camp and Record Ratings
This year's camp boasts a star-studded line-up including Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley, singer and actor Martin Kemp, and model Kelly Brook. Hosted by the inimitable duo Ant and Dec, the survival show proved it still has a powerful grip on the British public.
The launch episode was a resounding success for ITV, becoming the channel's highest overnight audience of 2025. An average of 6.6 million viewers tuned in, with viewership peaking at an impressive 7.3 million during the 90-minute premiere.
Fan Excitement Reaches Fever Pitch
Even before tonight's episode has aired, social media is alight with excitement, particularly surrounding the involvement of TikTok star Angry Ginge. One enthusiastic fan declared on social media, "Going to be a good episode tonight come on ginge!"
Another viewer, a first-time watcher, commented, "This is my first time watching I’m a celeb as a 19 year old. Ginge is way too funny!" A third fan joked about the timing of the eating trial, writing, "I'll be making sure I have my tea early tonight before watching this tonight!"
As the countdown to Christmas begins, the nation is once again settling in for its annual ritual of watching famous faces confront their deepest fears, all for the sake of a few stars and some campfire rice and beans.
