The full roster of famous faces braving the Australian jungle for I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025 has been officially confirmed by ITV. The announcement puts an end to weeks of speculation, revealing a diverse group of ten celebrities who will trade their luxuries for campfire camaraderie and gruelling Bushtucker Trials.
The Sunday night launch show will see the stars descend upon the jungle, with the line-up including a Brit Award-winning rapper, a former England football star, and several beloved soap actors. This year's cast promises to deliver high drama and entertainment as they face their fears and forge new friendships in the wilderness.
Meet The 2025 Jungle Campmates
Among the contestants confirmed for the adventure are broadcasting legend Ruby Wax and eighties pop icon Martin Kemp, the former Spandau Ballet bassist. Kemp, who also starred in EastEnders, is following in the footsteps of his son, Capital Breakfast presenter Roman Kemp, who finished third in the 2019 series.
The soap world is well-represented by Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean in EastEnders for 16 years, and Lisa Riley, famed for her role as Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale. They are joined by model and Heart Radio presenter Kelly Brook, who is no stranger to reality TV after last year's Celebrity Race Across the World.
Completing the main line-up are former Lioness and football pundit Alex Scott, rapper Aitch, comedian Eddie Kadi, influencer Angry Ginge, and reality TV veteran Jack Osbourne.
Contestant Hopes, Fears, and Motivations
Each celebrity brings their own unique motivations and anxieties to the camp. Ruby Wax, the celebrated presenter and author, admitted that her previous on-screen persona might have given viewers the wrong impression. "I looked quite aggressive and pushy, and I think it was just my nerves," she explained. "It will be nice for people to get to know the real me because you can't hide in the jungle." Her main concern is any challenge involving confined spaces.
For Shona McGarty, the experience is a chance to step out from the shadow of her long-running EastEnders character. "Everyone expects me to wear massive gold hoop earrings and have a ponytail," she said. "But I am nothing like that. I'm looking forward to using this experience to be completely myself." Her unconventional preparation involved tying a bedsheet to her gazebo as a makeshift hammock.
Rapper Aitch, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, hopes to challenge stereotypes and raise awareness for Down's Syndrome, a condition his sister Gracie has. "If a rapper who goes on a side quest by going in the jungle and goes and wins it, well that will show you can do anything in life," he stated.
Late Entrants and Family Connections
The confirmed line-up is nearly identical to a list that leaked online last week, with the notable absence of Tom Read Williams and Vogue Williams. However, ITV has hinted that the pair could still appear as late entrants to the camp, a common tactic used by the show to shake up the dynamics after the series has begun.
Family connections are also a theme this year. Martin Kemp revealed his son Roman is "really jealous" of his jungle adventure, while Jack Osbourne, who lost his father Ozzy earlier this year, said being away from his family will be the toughest part. "It's going to be very difficult not speaking to my wife and kids," he shared. "But yes, I do hope I can make my family proud."
I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025 begins on Sunday at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
