I’m a Celebrity’s full line-up confirmed as Kelly Brook and Lisa Riley arrive in Australia

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’s star-studded line-up has finally been revealed as the stars arrive in Australia.

Kelly Brook and Lisa Riley were the first to touch down at Brisbane Airport ahead of the series starting. Alex Scott was also seen giving her girlfriend Jess Glynne an emotional goodbye at Heathrow Airport. Stars including Jack Osbourne, Martin Kemp, and rapper Aitch are taking part in the ITV reality series.

I’m a Celebrity 2024 and 2025 has steered clear of any politicians following the backlash it faced over Nigel Farage, who made the final in 2023.

When does I’m a Celebrity start?

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly are headed Down Under again to host the show, which begins on ITV at 9 p.m. on Sunday, 16 November. They’ve had a busy year as the Geordie presenters have also been filming the I’m a Celebrity All Stars this autumn, which sees favourites from the main show head to South Africa.

Here are the stars who are heading Down Under for the reality series in 2025.

Jack Osbourne

Jack is part of one of the world’s most famous families, the Osbournes, and he hopes to make them proud in the jungle.

His dad Ozzy Osbourne died this year, and his mum Sharon and sister Kelly hope that the jungle will distract his mind. The son revealed they are giving him their full support.

On signing up, he says: “I definitely had to think about doing this programme. It’s an absolute commitment, but the real reason why it is popular is people sit at home saying, ‘Could I do that?’, so I think a lot of why I’ve said ‘yes’ is the intrigue and how would I survive that? I am very nervous though!”

Jack shot to fame on the first-ever reality series, The Osbournes, which documented his family life with his mum, dad and sister in the early 2000s. He also took part in the US version of SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2023, but had to withdraw after six episodes due to health concerns. Osbourne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012.

Martin Kemp

Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp is following in his own son Roman’s footsteps with a stint on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. As his TV presenter son takes on the challenge of Celebrity Race Across the World, Martin has headed Down Under.

Roman has made no secret that he would love to return the favour and see his dad do the eating trials.

“I’m not looking forward to those ones!” confesses the pop star. “I’m pretty much veggie, and even when I eat meat, I have this thing inside me saying, ‘You shouldn’t be doing this’. It will be a real test. But I’m happy to cook in the camp. It will be a case of saying, ‘Stick it in the frying pan!’ I’m alright with rice and beans, though. I can have the worst fish and chips, finish it off and still say, ‘That’s nice’.”

Shona McGarty

Former EastEnders star Shona McGarty is a very different person in real life to her character on Whitney Dean, who was a resident on Albert Square from 2008 until 2024.

A year after her time away from the screen, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! would give people the chance to see a different side to her personality.

Trying to prepare herself for I’m a Celebrity, McGarty stocked up on her carbohydrate intake, and she built a hammock out of a bed sheet in her garden.

She says: “I have been enjoying myself before I go in. I have been stocking up on all my carbs and trying to eat as much as I can. But once in the camp, it will be a chance to shed a few pounds and detox from all the pickled onion Monster Munch I eat! I also tried to get in a hammock as practice. I tied a bed sheet to my gazebo! It wasn’t good!”

Kelly Brook

After Celebrity Race Across the World, Kelly Brook told Yahoo UK that she was only planning holidays with her husband Jeremy Parisi’s credit card — and not on a budget. But she has had a change of heart.

Brook had always said no to I’m a Celebrity until the 26-mile race made her realise she could do things she thought were impossible.

She says: “I have said I will never do I’m A Celebrity… several times. I didn’t think it was ever in me to do the challenges and Bushtucker Trials. But since I have been with my husband, we have done a few things that I’ve surprised myself by. We did Race Across the World and I ran the London marathon this year – two things I never thought I had in me. I’m such a fan of the show that I thought, ‘Maybe I could do it, maybe I could cope.’ I won’t know unless I try and so I am going to throw myself into it.”

But I’m a Celebrity will be harder than Race Across the World, she says. “On Race Across the World, I had Jeremy, who was really the driving force behind it. He kept me going, and not having his support is going to be difficult. I will have to do this on my own two feet. It’s the longest we will have been apart, but we are seeing it as a hiatus from married life!”

And she’s already thinking about the famous shower scenes. “It’s scary, but I have got lots of swimwear options,” she said. “I will be packing some bikinis. I have also heard doing this programme can be life-changing, so that’s very exciting.”

Aitch

I’m a Celebrity doesn’t often get rappers, and it’s been 11 years since Tinchy Stryder appeared on the jungle show. But the 2025 series talks could be hitting all the right notes for one rapper.

25-year-old Manchester-born rapper Aitch — who has worked with Stormzy and Ed Sheeran — is going to join the celebrities for the gig that includes sleeping under the stars.

Signing up to the show, he says: “On a personal Harrison [his real name] level, this show is something I grew up watching in our house. It would almost be disrespectful to say ‘no’. Why would I not do it?

“On an Aitch level, I feel like I have got this calling to raise awareness for Down syndrome [for his sister Gracie] and I feel that’s the perfect place. Also, you don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever. You can branch out and do other things. You don’t have to stick to the code (rap world), because you think that’s cool. I did have to cancel some gigs for it. But you are never going to branch out if you do the same thing all the time.”

Lisa Riley

Lisa Riley has finally stopped saying no to the I’m a Celebrity jungle as she arrives at Brisbane airport ahead of the reality series starting.

The actor has become a big name in the soap world, thanks to her role of Mandy Dingle for 30 years on Emmerdale. I’m a Celebrity bosses love to secure talent from soaps, from Gemma Atkinson to Adam Thomas. Soap star Danny Miller was crowned king of the jungle in 2021. Next year marks a big milestone for Riley as she turns 50, so perhaps that’s why she’s said yes this time round.

Finally saying yes, she explains: “They have asked me to be in it numerous times before – but now I’ve finally said ‘yes’. The reason is I’m going to be 50 next year, it’s thirty years on and off playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale and ten years of being sober. It’s like a big baguette where everything I wanted was in it! And it’s I’m A Celebrity’s 25th series anniversary too.

“Forget the NTAs and BAFTAs, the fact I’m going in the jungle means I am hopefully the best auntie in the world to my nephews, Jakey and Joshua, and niece, Everlyn. I can forever say to them I tackled the jungle head-on. It’s going to be ace.”

Riley further explained that the deaths of her mum in 2012 and her best friend, former Strictly professional dancer, Robin Windsor, last year have also given her the strength to take on the famous Trials.

Eddie Kadi

Eddie Kadi has already filmed The Apprentice Christmas special. He’s no stranger to reality TV; he waltzed his way onto Strictly in 2023. Now he’s heading Down Under for I’m a Celebrity.

He thinks I’m a Celebrity will be way tougher than Strictly Come Dancing. Kadi says: “Not to take it away from Strictly, as Strictly was really hard, but the jungle will be harder. You don’t get to interact with anyone other than your campmates. If things get a little emotional or frantic, you will have to deal with it and there is no escaping.”

Making history, he was the first Black British comedian to headline the O2 Arena in 2010.

Ruby Wax

Ruby Wax has interviewed some of the biggest stars in the world, so what better interviewer to put in with the famous faces this year?

TV bosses can expect fun and interesting lines from her campmates as she heads Down Under. But she wants to be asked questions too.

This shouldn’t be a tough challenge, as she spent 10 days on a remote island for the Channel 4 show Ruby Wax: Cast Away in 2023.

She says, “It hasn’t actually sunk in that I am doing this, but I am really looking forward to meeting my fellow campmates. I was offered the chance to take part a long time ago and I thought, ‘No, I could never do that’ but now it’s the right time. I like doing adventurous things.”

Plus she’s ready to show off her underwear in the shower. She adds: “The jungle shower? I have been working out, as I don’t want to show my body the way it is. But I know you can wear a bra and pants. I have a sensational bra!”

Alex Scott

Alex Scott is a well-loved footballer and a broadcaster.

I’m a Celebrity is not the first time she has done reality TV, as she starred in Strictly in 2019. She was seen saying an emotional goodbye to her girlfriend, Jess Glynne, at Heathrow Airport.

She says, “Jess thinks I am absolutely mental! But she will be my biggest supporter, and my mum absolutely loves the show. Thinking of her tuning in every night will bring a tear. But I will need to push myself to speak out around all of the different and big personalities.

“Not going into myself for being the shy one will be my big challenge. People see you on TV and they assume you are outgoing, that loud person, but take me to red carpets or events and I am the one in the corner going, ‘Talk to me, please give me a plus one so I don’t have to be that person who walks in on my own’. It’s going to be a challenge.”

I’m a Celebrity would give Scott the chance to show a different, more personal side to the broadcaster and sportswoman.

Angry Ginge

Angry Ginge is a social media star with more than three million fans on Instagram and TikTok.

The TV bosses have scored an appearance from Angry Ginge after he was named man of the match at this year’s Soccer Aid.

He’s convinced his fans will vote him to do the trials. He says, “If I am honest, I think most of them will vote for me to do every single trial. There is not one trial I am looking forward to, but I would never say ‘no’ to the challenges.”

Who are going to be the I’m a Celebrity late arrivals?

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here always has two late arrivals. (ITV)

There are two late arrivals on I’m a Celebrity every year. The two missing names from the rumoured line-up — Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams — so they could be heading into the jungle at a later stage.

Read Wilson shot to fame as the lovely receptionist on the E4 matchmaking show Celebs Go Dating. Now he could be taking part in the reality show himself.

Whereas Williams would bring a lot of glamour to the bug-infested jungle if she chooses to go for I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

Her husband Spencer Matthews wouldn’t rule out whether his wife was doing a stint on I’m a Celebrity. “I know nothing about nothing,” he said on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday.

As Williams is tipped for the jungle, Matthews is doing a sporting challenge all over the world, from London to Arizona to Cape Town to Perth to Dubai to Rio de Janeiro to Antarctica.

He also said: “Listen, you know more than me as ITV. She will be there on Thursday supporting me. She hopes to be at the finish line. I think she’s taking the kids to Winter Wonderland beforehand.”

Her reported signing to I’m a Celebrity comes a decade after her husband, Matthews, undertook the challenge.

However, Matthews was axed from the jungle after three days because he was secretly taking steroids.

At the time, he said in a statement: “Shortly after I arrived in Australia, I told the production team that I was taking a steroid-based medication that had begun some weeks ago.

“When I started taking this programme of pills, it was in preparation for a charity boxing match which, ironically, never took place.

“Vanity, I suppose, had been the reason for wanting to bulk up a bit for the fight. I had intended to come off the pills gradually, but there was no time to do this before I reached the jungle.”

I’m a Celebrity returns to ITV on Sunday, 16 November.
