It’s the highlight of Winter when it comes to TV, and with how fast this year is going, excitement is building nicely for this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, as hosts Ant and Dec return to Australia with some ‘brave’ celebs.
With the 25th series due to begin in November, rumours are rife as to which famous faces will take part, so check out all of the rumoured names.
Alex Scott MBE
Former England footballer turned TV presenter Alex Scott has reportedly signed up for the 2025 series.
Kelly Brook
After years of trying to get her on the show, reports suggest ITV/STV bosses have finally persuaded former model Kelly Brook to take part in the 2025 series!
Ruby Wax
According to reports, 72-year-old comedian Ruby Wax is in ‘advanced talks’ to appear on the upcoming series.
Aitch
Rapper Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, is also set to take part, with ITV/STV bosses thinking he will bring in a younger generation of viewers.
Vogue Williams
TV presenter Vogue is also a name high on the list for bosses!
Lisa Riley
According to reports, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley is being lined-up by bosses for the 2025 series, with Lisa reportedly in ‘advanced talks’ with bosses.
Patsy Palmer
Following her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, bookies have odds of 2/1 for EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer to appear on this year’s show. As reality TV fans will know, she’s no stranger to TV, having appeared on the likes of The Masked Singer and Dancing On Ice.
Nick Ferrari
Reports suggest bosses are determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on this year’s line-up!
Shona McGarty
Another soap star apparently being lined-up by bosses is EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, with bosses reportedly keen for her to show another side to her personality after playing her soap character for 16 years.
Jools Oliver
When hosts Ant and Dec invited TV chef Jamie Oliver to appear on the show, he quickly declined, saying: “Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I’m A Celeb. “I think it’s an amazing show, but honestly, you couldn’t give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo’s a–e, no way.”
However, he did nominate his wife Jools, adding: “But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools.”
Ally McCoist
Scottish football legend Ally McCoist was reportedly in ‘advanced talks’ with bosses to appear on the 2024 series, but he didn’t appear! The pundit has turned down the show twice in the past, so could 2025 finally be the year we see him in the jungle?
Jeremy Clarkson
Thanks to the success of Clarkson’s Farm, rumours were rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I’m A Celeb reportedly top of the list!
Tommy Fury
Bookies were tipping Tommy Fury to sign up for the 2024 series, but after landing a rematch with KSI, Tommy turned down the show. Now he’s back with Molly-Mae, could we see him return to TV?
Giovanni Pernice
Following his removal from Strictly Come Dancing, ITV/STV bosses were reportedly keen to sign up Giovanni Pernice for the 2024 series, with Mail Online suggesting they are ready to splash out £100,000 to sign him. However, Giovanni then signed up for the Italian version of Strictly and he didn’t appear! Maybe we will see him in the jungle this year instead?
Richard Gadd
After shooting to intense fame in 2024 following the release of Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, Scottish actor and comedian Richard Gadd is reportedly being lined-up by bosses!

Olivia Attwood
As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she’d had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
Although she’s in demand right now and very busy with radio and TV jobs, we have to admit we’d love to see Liv back in the jungle!
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford recently expressed interest in appearing on I’m A Celeb. He told the Mirror: “Out of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle.”
Alex recently appeared on BBC One’s Celebrity Race Across The World.
Danny Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he’s been heavily rumoured for I’m A Celeb.
Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny’s daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years.
Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so could 2025 be her year?
Phil Taylor
Ever since he admitted he’d ‘love’ to appear on the show a number of years ago, darts legend Phil Taylor has been heavily rumoured every year.
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, it seems actor Will Mellor has the reality TV bug, as he’s admitted to his friend and former co-star Ralf Little he’d fancy appearing on I’m A Celeb. Could 2025 be his year?
When does I’m A Celeb start?
There’s no official start date for the 2025 series just yet, but we do know it usually begins in mid-November.
Bosses have now released the first teaser trailer, revealing the show is ‘coming soon’.
