The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! 2025 final tonight is poised for a major upset, with betting odds dramatically tightening in a development that has stunned fans and bookmakers alike.
Bookies Predict Nail-Biting Finale Showdown
According to leading UK bookmaker Spin Genie, what was once considered a predictable victory for fan favourite Angry Ginge has been thrown into doubt. The spokesperson revealed that actress Shona McGarty has "really closed the gap" following the shock elimination of rapper Aitch on Saturday night.
"Currently, Ginge merely holds on to his spot as favourite, priced at 5/4 to win tonight," they stated. "However, following Aitch’s exit, Shona has really closed the gap, now priced at 11/8 to win." They concluded that this means the winner may not be as predictable as first thought.
Aitch's Exit Turns the Market on Its Head
The unexpected departure of the 25-year-old rapper has had an immediate and seismic impact on the betting landscape. Spin Genie commented that the market has "tightened dramatically" as viewers reassess their predictions.
Ginge remains the narrow favourite at 5/4, but Shona's odds of 11/8 are now applying "real pressure on the frontrunner." The third finalist, Tom Read Wilson, is seen as a distant outsider with odds of 4/1, making the contest effectively a two-horse race for the jungle crown.
The bookmaker highlighted Shona's compelling storyline throughout the series, particularly her connection with Aitch, as a key factor in her surge. "Shona now has a whole new generation of fans backing her to be the next Queen of the Jungle," they said, suggesting a winner's turnaround that "few would have predicted at the start of the week."
Romance Rumours and Fan Reactions
Speculation about a romance between Shona, 34, and Aitch has been rife since they entered the Australian jungle. A poignant moment during Saturday's superhero-themed episode seemed to fuel the rumours further. As Shona, dressed as the 'Silver Songstress', jumped over a log, the camera cut to Aitch looking at her with apparent adoration—a glance that did not escape the notice of viewers on social media.
Many fans are now convinced of the rapper's affection for the EastEnders star, despite axed campmate Ruby Wax's opinion that Aitch "is not Shona's type." This human interest story has undoubtedly contributed to the surge in support for Shona as the finale approaches.
The stage is now set for a thrilling conclusion. The live final of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV at 9pm on Sunday, 7th December 2025, where either Angry Ginge will confirm his favourite status or Shona McGarty will complete a remarkable late surge to be crowned Queen of the Jungle.
