EastEnders star Shona McGarty has spoken candidly about her anxiety struggles after finishing third in the 2025 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. The actress left the jungle on Sunday night, leaving streamer Angry Ginge and TV host Tom Read Wilson to battle for the crown.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec after her exit, McGarty said: 'I will take away from this that I came in here shaking like a sh****ng dog, and my anxiety has been up and down for as long as I can remember but I have learnt a lot about myself in here and it has been a healing process for me in here. In real life, I'm going to handle things a little easier now.'
McGarty was the tenth celebrity to be evicted from the Australian jungle, after surviving three weeks of gruelling trials and camp life. She described her favourite moment as the pirate ship trial, and said seeing her sister was a highlight.
Earlier in the series, McGarty was caught using butter, a contraband item, and was dethroned as camp leader. However, it later emerged that Angry Ginge had actually brought the butter into camp. 'He got away with murder in there,' McGarty joked.
Reflecting on her relationship with rapper Aitch, who was eliminated earlier, she said: 'To be completely honest when he came in he had that rapper thing going on, but underneath it all I could see that he was quite strange. He's normal, down to earth, I felt like a big sister I just wanted to look after him.'
McGarty has thrown her support behind Tom Read Wilson to win the series, with the final airing on ITV1 and ITVX.
