Meet the Contestants: A Diverse Bunch
Here's the full lineup, along with some insights from our critic, Jon Peake, on who might just steal the jungle glory:
Ruby Wax, 72, Comedian Extraordinaire
With a recent career shift into therapy, Ruby Wax is approaching this experience as a psychological journey rather than a comedy showcase. She's excited to mingle and get to know her fellow contestants, but there's a catch - she expects some curiosity about her! Wax, the oldest contestant, claims she's not scared of anything, so expect her to dive into every challenging eating trial. She wants to break free from her aggressive on-screen persona, revealing that her pushy nature was just nerves.
Martin Kemp, 64, Actor and Musician
Genial and calm, Martin Kemp might have seen tougher days on tour with his bands back in the day. But will he be able to handle the jungle? He admits to a phobia of rats, which viewers might just want to test. Kemp's son, Roman, who participated in the 2019 series, encourages his dad to enjoy the experience, but also hints at some revenge for the votes cast against him. Kemp's family is excited, but will he be able to overcome his fears?
Kelly Brook, 45, Heart Radio DJ and Model
Known for her association with the lads' mag culture of the '90s, Kelly Brook aims to introduce herself to a new generation. Having run the London Marathon this year and participated in Celebrity Race Across the World, she's resilient. She's prepared for the meager jungle rations, but also brought a selection of swimwear, hoping to gain some votes. Brook is excited about the life-changing potential of the show and is ready to step out of her comfort zone.
Aitch, 25, Rapper with a Heart
Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, wants to break the stereotype of the obnoxious rapper. He hopes to inspire a younger generation while also raising awareness about Down's syndrome, which his sister Gracie has. A hardy contestant, having climbed Kilimanjaro, Aitch hates sitting around doing nothing. He sees the show as a stepping stone to new opportunities, a chance to branch out beyond the rap world.
Alex Scott, 41, Former Lioness and Sports Broadcaster
Competitive and eager to test herself, Alex Scott is ready to push her boundaries. She aims to speak up around the diverse personalities in the camp. As a former team captain, she brings leadership skills and a talent for keeping the peace. Her biggest fear? Never being able to eat rice again! With a Jamaican background, rice is a staple, and she's not ready to give it up.
Angry Ginge, 23, Content Creator
With a name straight out of a Viz comic, Angry Ginge (Morgan Burtwistle to his mom) is an internet sensation. How will he cope without his daily YouTube football content? As the youngest contestant, he has a million followers, and his fans will ensure he's at the heart of the action. Ginge has never spent a night outside, so this will be a true test of his resilience.
Shona McGarty, 34, Former EastEnders Actress
I'm a Celebrity... wouldn't be complete without a recent soap star departure, and this year, it's Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean. McGarty listens to serial killer podcasts to sleep, and she's eager to leave Albert Square behind. She's prepared with a backyard hammock and a carb-loaded diet, ready for the jungle detox.
Eddie Kadi, 42, Comedian and Reality Show Veteran
Having participated in Strictly Come Dancing, Eddie Kadi knows a thing or two about reality TV. He's aware this is a tougher challenge, especially with his fear of being plunged into a spider-filled tank. Kadi has been fasting to prepare for the lack of food and wants to make his daughter proud. He sees himself as a peacemaker, hoping to bring a family vibe to the camp.
Lisa Riley, 49, Emmerdale Actress
Lisa Riley wants to break the misconception that she just eats chips all day. She admits to breaking wind, but not in a charming way. Her Emmerdale co-star, Danny Miller, was crowned King of the Jungle, and now she's ready to take on the challenge herself, celebrating 10 years of sobriety and preparing for her 50th birthday. Riley claims she'll offer a supportive ear, but she won't hesitate to speak her mind.
Jack Osbourne, 40, TV Personality
Jack Osbourne wonders if anyone has ever won without doing a Bushtucker Trial. He's faced challenging situations in his Adrenaline Junkie series, but the jungle might be a whole new level. His family believes it's a great distraction after the loss of his father, Ozzy, but Osbourne admits it will be difficult leaving his loved ones behind.
And there you have it! A diverse and exciting lineup for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2025. Who will capture your heart and become the ultimate jungle champion? Stay tuned to find out!
