The wait is almost over for fans of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! as the hit ITV survival show prepares to launch its milestone 25th series later this month.
Presented by the iconic duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, both now in their late 40s, the programme returns to our screens with another batch of famous faces ready to brave the Australian jungle in Dungay, New South Wales.
Potential Campmates Revealed
While ITV bosses have yet to confirm the official lineup, multiple sources have revealed which celebrities are in talks to swap their home comforts for camp life and potentially face eating insects, animal tongues and even genitals in the notorious Bushtucker Trials.
Ruby Wax, the 72-year-old actress, comedian and mental health expert, is reportedly joining the cast. A source told The Sun: 'Ruby's a proper TV legend and adds real gravitas to this year's line-up. She's interviewed some of the biggest stars in the world so will have no problem getting to know her fellow campmates.'
Social media sensation Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwistle) is also rumoured to be heading Down Under. The 23-year-old from Salford boasts 879K YouTube subscribers and has made a name for himself discussing football on Twitch and YouTube.
Sports Stars and Soap Legends
Former footballer turned popular pundit Alex Scott might be trading the pitch for the jungle. The 41-year-old, who played for Arsenal and Great Britain, is said to be ready for a new challenge. 'Alex loves pushing herself out of her comfort zone and where better to do it than the jungle?' revealed a source.
Shona McGarty, best known for playing Whitney Dean on EastEnders from 2008 to 2024, could be making the Australian jungle her next career move after leaving the BBC soap.
Television presenter Vogue Williams, 40, is also reportedly considering the show despite the challenge of being away from her children. 'She is really fun and gets on with everyone, so bosses reckon she will be a hit with viewers,' a source commented.
Music Icons and Comedy Talent
Martin Kemp, the 64-year-old Spandau Ballet star, is rumoured to be a 'great signing' according to insiders. The 80s music icon would bring decades of entertainment experience to the camp.
Comedian Eddie Kadi is expected to provide 'much needed comic relief' according to sources, while rapper Aitch could attract a younger audience to the show with his massive following among teenagers and twenty-somethings.
Jack Osbourne is also strongly rumoured to be joining, with sources suggesting he has the full support of his mother Sharon and sister Kelly. His potential discussions about his father Ozzy could create 'incredibly moving' television moments.
Other names in the mix include Emmerdale's Lisa Riley, 49, who has played Mandy Dingle since 1995, and television favourite Kelly Brook, 45, whom bosses have apparently been trying to sign for years.
Celebrity dictionary Tom Read Wilson completes the rumoured lineup, with ITV bosses reportedly confident he'll be a 'real breakout star' in this year's series.
The 25th series of I'm A Celebrity promises to deliver the same mix of drama, humour and challenges that has made it one of ITV's most successful programmes, with viewers eagerly awaiting to see which celebrities will ultimately face the jungle.
