Get ready for a jungle showdown like no other! The 2025 lineup for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has reportedly leaked, and it’s packed with stars who promise to shake things up. But here’s where it gets controversial: could Jack Osbourne’s appearance just months after his father Ozzy’s passing be a heartfelt tribute or a questionable timing choice? Let’s dive in.
Just one week before the show’s highly anticipated return to ITV, hosted by the dynamic duo Ant and Dec, a new report claims to have unveiled the 12 celebrities set to brave the Australian wilderness. Among them, Jack Osbourne is said to be joining the fray, reportedly with the blessing of his mother Sharon and sister Kelly. Is this a brave step forward or a move that’s too soon? We’ll let you decide.
But Osbourne isn’t the only big name rumored to be heading Down Under. TV legend Ruby Wax, whose documentaries have captivated audiences for decades, is also on the list. Joining her is Kelly Brook, the 1990s supermodel-turned-media darling who won hearts on Celebrity Race Across the World in 2024. Will her charm translate to Bushtucker Trials? Only time will tell.
Sports fans, rejoice! Former Arsenal and Lionesses star Alex Scott, now a beloved host of Football Focus, is reportedly set to swap the pitch for the jungle. And this is the part most people miss: Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp, whose son Roman survived the jungle in 2019, is also rumored to be following in his footsteps. Is it nepotism or just good casting?
The lineup doesn’t stop there. EastEnders alum Shona McGarty (Whitney Dean), Emmerdale favorite Lisa Riley (Mandy Dingle), and comedian Eddie Kadi are all reportedly gearing up for their jungle debut. Music lovers, take note: Brit Award-winning rapper Aitch, known for hits like ‘Straight Rhymez’ and ‘Taste (Make It Shake),’ is said to be trading the stage for the treetops. Can he rhyme his way to the crown?
Social media sensation Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwistle), fresh off his Soccer Aid Man of the Match win, is also rumored to be joining the fray, alongside Irish model Vogue Williams. Rounding out the cast is Tom Read Wilson, the lovable receptionist from Celebs Go Dating, who once tried his luck on The Voice UK. With such a diverse group, who do you think will reign supreme?
The new series kicks off on ITV on Sunday, November 16, with Ant and Dec back at the helm. When The Independent reached out to ITV for comment, they simply stated, ‘Any names suggested for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is just speculation.’ But speculation or not, this lineup has us buzzing. What’s your take? Who’s your early favorite, and who do you think will crack under pressure? Let’s debate in the comments!
