I’m A Celebrity 2025 line-up including huge soap stars and comedy legend
I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! is due to return later this year with more celebrities set to take on the gruelling ITV show in Australia, hosted by Ant and Dec
Ant and Dec are back for a brand new series
The new series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! is expected to launch in a matter of weeks, with a new group of celebrities taking on the gruelling Bushtucker Trials. They will head to Australia to live together in the jungle camp.
This year’s campmates will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of musician Danny Jones, best known as a member of McFly, who was crowned King of the Jungle last year. First they will have to get through the experience on the show, which will once again be hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly.
As we await the return of the ITV show, we take a look at celebrities who are rumoured to be on the new series or have hinted at a stint in the jungle. The line-up rumours ahead of the cast announcement includes soap actors, a footballer and a TikTok star.
Lisa Riley
Lisa has expressed interest in appearing on the show
Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley is being lined up to swap the Dales for the Australian jungle, with reports suggesting she is in advanced talks to take part. She is best known for playing Mandy Dingle in the ITV soap, which is a role that she first took on in 1995.
A TV insider told The Sun : “Lisa is the perfect celebrity for the show because not only is she from a soap watched by millions she’s one of its biggest characters and it’s an ITV show to boot.
“She also has a naughty, mischievous sense of humour which is guaranteed to get a big response from her other celebrity campmates during their time in the jungle. Lisa is by no means the first star from Emmerdale to have gone on I’m a Celebrity and those that do always tend to get a great response from viewers at home.”
Lisa even expressed interest in taking part in the reality show earlier this year, as she said: “I’m A Celebrity…is something I would do before I turned 50 as a test for myself.”
Angry Ginge
TikTok star Angry Ginge has been tipped to appear
Social media star Angry Ginge, who has more than three million followers across his platforms including Instagram and Tik Tok, is one of a few names being thrown into the hat. He could follow in the footsteps of previous contestants Nella Rose and GK Barry.
The social media star, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, is believed to have impressed ITV bosses during the annual charity football match Soccer Aid.
A source told The Sun: “ITV bosses always like to have a social media superstar on their cast, especially after GK Barry proved such a success last year. Angry Ginge has bags of personality and was really friendly to everyone at Soccer Aid this year. He made a great impression.”
Tommy Fury
Tommy was rumoured to appear last year
While fans may remember Tommy was tipped for last year’s show, he is back on the rumoured list for 2025. He reportedly turned down I’m A Celebrity due to a boxing match.
The Love Islander admitted he does want to do the show, so 2025 could be his year. Tommy told the Mirror : “I’m a Celeb is an amazing show and it’s something I want to do in the future but at the end of the day I am what I am, I’m a fighter and I’ve been doing it since I was a kid.”
Shona McGarty
Shona could return to screens for I’m A Celebrity
EastEnders icon Shona may want to head Down Under for a brand new task after bidding farewell to Whitney Dean last year. She admitted she wants to “pursue things that are in [her] heart,” following her exit from the BBC soap.
In May, the Sun reported Shona was in advanced talks to enter the jungle, meaning Shona could be back on screens once again.
Jamie Oliver
Jamie Oliver has suggested that he wouldn’t do the show
He has however put his wife Jools Oliver forward
TV chef Jamie Oliver’s wife could step into the spotlight after he confessed he would give the show a miss. Jamie sparked speculation Jools could be on the bill after he appeared in a livestream with hosts Ant and Dec.
“Thanks for the offer, boys. I would love to come on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, I think it’s an amazing show,” he said. Jamie admitted ITV “couldn’t give me enough olive oil in the world ” to take part.
However, he teased: “But what I can give you is my wife Jools. She would love to be on the show. Go on, Jools!”
Denise van Outen
There’s been speculation that Denise van Outen could be a campmate this year
Denise van Outen is another rumoured campmate for the new series. The presenter and performer is no stranger to appearing on reality TV competition shows, having previously done the likes of Strictly Come Dancing, The Masked Singer and Dancing on Ice.
She has previously suggested that she will do I’m A Celebrity. Speaking to the Sun in 2021, Denise said: “I will do it at some point.” She added that being on the show for her 50th birthday would be “nice,” though she turned 51 earlier this year and still has yet to appear as a campmate.
As reported by the Sun, bookies had slashed her odds of being a campmate from 5/1 to 2/1 last month. A spokesperson for Ladbrokes told the outlet: “It looks like the stars have finally aligned to give us Denise van Outback in 2025. With a new album in the autumn and a tour booked for the spring, there’s a glaring hole in her calendar that she could fill with a Bushtucker Trial or two.”
Wayne Rooney

Former footballer Wayne Rooney has teased that he’s up for following in his wife Coleen Rooney’s footsteps with a stint in the jungle. Coleen was a finalist on last year’s series, with her having finished as runner-up on the show.
Discussing the prospect, he said on an episode of the Wayne Rooney Show released earlier this month: “I think I would … I would … at the right time. I’d struggle with some of the trials, though. Y’know the worst one, y’know where they walk into a room [and] there’s like a big ostrich just looking at you.” He added: “I didn’t [know I was scared of ostriches] but I’m just picturing them being there.”
His co-host Kae Kurd responded: “I reckon the producers of I’m a Celeb are watching this and just going … rubbing their hands at this opportunity now.” Wayne however suggested that his work commitments mean he can’t appear this year, though that doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t do I’m A Celeb. Wayne said: “I can’t, can I? Because I wouldn’t be able to do the podcast in there, so I can’t do it.” Co-host Kelly Somers said that was a “good excuse”.

Boxing star Conor Benn is reportedly being lined up for the new series of I’m A Celebrity. Conor, who is the son of former two-division world champion boxer Nigel Benn, is due to fight Chris Eubank Jr on November 15 for a hotly anticipated rematch.
“The logistics are a challenge given how close the match is to the start of the jungle, but ITV and Conor are keen to make this happen if they can,” a source said of Conor’s jungle stint.
“Conor’s profile has soared due to the intense rivalry between him and Chris Eubank Jr. Obviously, Conor’s main priority is the fight. But with his great physique, he is also likely to provide the show with this year’s male pin-up. I’m A Celeb bosses think he’ll make a great addition to the camp. One option is that he goes in as a late entry.”
Ruby Wax
Could Ruby be heading into the jungle?
Comedian Ruby Wax is said to be in advanced talks for the new series of I’m A Celebrity.
“Ruby’s a proper TV legend and adds real gravitas to this year’s line-up. She’s interviewed some of the biggest stars in the world so will have no problem getting to know her fellow campmates. It will make great TV for viewers,” a source said.
Ruby is no stranger to putting herself out of her comfort zone. She spent ten days on a remote island for Channel 5’s Ruby Wax: Cast Away back in 2023.
Alex Scott
Alex is heading for the I’m A Celebrity jungle
Former Lioness and sports TV presenter Alex Scott is reportedly being lined up for the new series. According to reports, Alex is keen to show the British public a different side to her personality as they only see her in a professional manner.
“Alex loves pushing herself out of her comfort zone and where better to do it than the jungle? The public know her as a sportswoman and a serious broadcaster so she thinks she can show people a side to her that they’ve never seen before,” a source said.
They added: “Alex is game for anything and is a tough cookie so she’s ready for anything that gets thrown at her — literally.”
Alex’s personal life has also been a talking point after it emerged that she was in a relationship with singer Jess Glynne.
Vogue Williams
Is Vogue joining I’m A Celebrity?
10 years after her husband Spencer Matthews was removed from I’m A Celebrity, could Vogue be heading for the jungle?
The Made in Chelsea star was removed from camp after three days back in 2015 because he was taking steroids and didn’t tell producers beforehand. Now, Vogue has been tipped as “one of the most glam signings” in years.
“She is really fun and gets on with everyone, so bosses reckon she will be a hit with viewers,” a source explained. “It has been a hard decision to go on the show, because it will mean so much time away from her kids, but she wants to fight her fears and go for it.”
“Spencer is a massive thrillseeker and is always off on an adventure, but now it is Vogue’s turn to have one.”
