In a major disappointment for his supporters, 80s music icon Martin Kemp is now the overwhelming favourite to be the next contestant eliminated from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Jungle Exit Looms for Spandau Ballet Star
During Thursday night's episode (4 December 2025), a sixth celebrity will be voted out of the jungle camp, with bookmakers heavily backing Kemp for a departure that would see him miss the coveted final entirely. This comes as a significant blow for the Spandau Ballet star, who entered the ITV show hoping to be crowned King of the Jungle.
The latest betting odds place Kemp as the clear frontrunner to leave, with short odds of 1/2. He is followed by actress Lisa Riley at 7/4 and EastEnders star Shona McGarty at 8/1.
Fan Fury Follows Ruby Wax's Shock Departure
The speculation around Kemp's imminent exit follows the shocking elimination of fellow campmate Ruby Wax on Wednesday night (3 December). Wax's departure left viewers baffled and angry, as many had predicted she would reach the final stages of the competition.
Fans took to social media to express their confusion, questioning how Kemp, who has had a notably low screen presence throughout the series, remained in the camp over the popular comedian. One viewer asked: "How has martin stayed in longer than Ruby, she was brilliant?" Another added: "How has ruby left before martin??? i literally forget he’s on there sometimes he does nothing."
Speaking after her exit, a devastated Ruby Wax told This Morning: "I'm totally devastated. I've been ripped from my family, ripped from the womb. I belong in that jungle. I want to go to my people." She also criticised the meagre jungle diet, describing the rice and beans as "like eating styrofoam" and comparing eating crocodile to "eating my grandmother."
Race for the Crown Heats Up
With the camp thinning out, the race to win the series is intensifying. Rapper Aitch is the current favourite to win, with odds of 11/10, closely trailed by fellow Mancunian content creator Angry Ginge at 5/2.
The pair have remained fan favourites despite being at the centre of recent drama, including 'milk bottle gate', where they, along with former campmate Kelly Brook, ate half their won sweets and lied to others about it. Ginge also clashed with Kelly Brook and Vogue Williams over camp chores.
To date, six celebrities have left the jungle. After hosts Ant and Dec announced the first two exits, Alex Scott and Eddie Kadi, Vogue Williams became the third to go. Kelly Brook followed as the fourth, with Ruby Wax the fifth. This means only two female stars remain: Lisa Riley and Shona McGarty.
All eyes are now on Thursday's episode to see if the betting odds are correct and Martin Kemp's jungle journey comes to an abrupt end just before the final.
