I’m A Celebrity 2025: Which celebs were rumoured?

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.

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?

Tom Daley

After winning his fifth Olympic medal during the Paris 2024 Olympics, diver Tom Daley announced his retirement from the sport after the games, and bosses were reportedly keen to sign him up for I’m A Celeb! He’s not appeared so far, so 2025 could be the year!

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!

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?
