As I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! returns for its 25th series, viewers are already abuzz about the fresh faces heading into the jungle. This year’s cast includes a colorful mix of celebrities — from comedians to soap actors, influencers to pop icons — and a couple of big-name “late arrivals” are set to shake things up even more..

Who’s New in the Jungle?

According to official announcements and confirmed arrivals, here are the standout stars joining the 2025 I’m a Celebrity camp:

  • Ruby Wax – The legendary comedian and television personality, known for her sharp wit and irreverent humour, is making a much-anticipated return to reality TV. She said she wants people to “know the real me” and is ready to embrace the challenges of camp life. 

  • Martin Kemp – The ’80s pop icon and bassist from Spandau Ballet is reportedly joining. His presence is especially notable given his family connection: his son, Roman Kemp, has previously been on the show. 

  • Kelly Brook – Model, actress, and media personality Kelly Brook is confirmed to be on her way to Australia for the series. 

  • Lisa Riley – Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, is stepping into the jungle. She’s spoken candidly about her life — including sobriety — and how this experience is meaningful for her. 

  • Shona McGarty – The former EastEnders star, known for her role as Whitney Dean, is embracing the “other side” of herself by heading into the jungle, away from scripted characters. 

  • Angry Ginge – Social media personality (real name Morgan Burtwistle), known for his strong online presence, is one of the youngest campmates, bringing potential for youthful energy and fresh dynamics. 

  • Eddie Kadi – Comedian and DJ Eddie Kadi, who has danced on Strictly Come Dancing, is boarding the flight to Australia. He joked about fitness and how he won’t shy away from “bushtucker” challenges.
