Who is doing I’m a Celebrity in 2025?

The confirmed line-up for Series 25 was announced by ITV on 10 November 2025, with ten initial celebrities entering the Australian jungle on launch night. Two late arrivals — Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams — joined on 19 November, bringing the total cast to twelve. Ant & Dec returned as hosts for their 25th consecutive series steering the show.

Confirmed contestants

The final cast included Morgan Burtwistle (Angry Ginge), the YouTube content creator who would go on to claim the crown. The other confirmed campmates were Tom Read Wilson (Celebs Go Dating receptionist), Kelly Brook, Martin Kemp (former Spandau Ballet bassist), Eddie Kadi, Alex Scott MBE (former England Lioness player), Ruby Wax OBE, Aitch (Brit Award-winning rapper), Shona McGarty (former EastEnders actress who played Whitney Dean), Lisa Riley (Emmerdale actor), and Vogue Williams — all listed by Radio Times as confirmed entrants.

Rumored jungle entrants

Pre-announcement speculation had linked various names to the show, but ITV’s official line-up on 10 November confirmed the actual twelve participants. Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams were the only late additions, entering separately from the original group.

The implication: viewers tuning in on 16 November saw the full twelve-camper roster in action, with Angry Ginge emerging from that pack as the public favourite by finale night.

“I feel amazing. Honestly, (it is a) dream come true. I did not think I’d go all this way. Never mind win, so thank you to everyone who voted.”

Who are the celebrities in the jungle in 2025?

With twelve celebrities in the jungle across Series 25, the cast blended reality TV veterans, established entertainers, and rising digital creators. The variety gave the show its broadest demographic appeal in years — a mix that evidently resonated given the 28% jump in streaming viewership compared to the previous series.

Full list of campmates

The twelve Series 25 campmates were: Morgan Burtwistle (Angry Ginge), Tom Read Wilson, Kelly Brook, Martin Kemp, Eddie Kadi, Alex Scott MBE, Ruby Wax OBE, Aitch, Shona McGarty, Lisa Riley, and late arrivals Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams (who entered together on 19 November). By the finale on 7 December, Morgan Burtwistle was crowned King of the Jungle, with Tom Read Wilson as runner-up and Shona McGarty in third place, per ITV News.

The cast combines television personalities, musicians, and a breakout YouTube star, providing broad audience appeal across demographics.

Australian and UK series differences

The UK version of I’m a Celebrity has run continuously since 2002, filmed primarily in Australia (New South Wales). In 2020 and 2021, COVID-19 restrictions forced production to relocate to Gwrych Castle in Wales — a period now ended. Series 25 returned fully to the Australian setting for all broadcast content.

The pattern: UK viewers have settled back into the Australian location as the norm, with no indication ITV plans another castle run for the foreseeable future.

What time does I’m a celeb start in 2025?

The launch episode of Series 25 aired at 9pm on 16 November 2025 on ITV1, with simultaneous streaming on ITVX and STV for Scottish viewers. The launch show set the template for subsequent episodes, though daily trial schedules varied by night.

Daily episode schedule

ITV aired new episodes nightly throughout the run, typically beginning at 9pm for the main show. The first three episodes collectively generated 12.3 million streams — a 28% increase from the equivalent period in 2024 — according to Radio Times viewership data.

Finish times and duration

Most episodes ran approximately 75–90 minutes, including the Bushtucker Trials that form the show’s centrepiece. Nightly eliminations reduced the camp by one or more celebrities, with the pace accelerating in the final week leading to the 7 December grand finale.

The catch: nightly trial content varied, so die-hard viewers needed to tune in live or stream via ITVX to catch every moment — highlights alone did not capture all the action.

“The public have spoken and it’s time to reveal the result. The winner of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, 2025. And the new King of the Jungle is Ginge — our winner.”

When is I’m A Celeb 2025 on this week? Schedule and finish times

Series 25 ran for just under four weeks, beginning on 16 November 2025 and concluding with the grand final on 7 December 2025. ITV maintained a roughly daily broadcast schedule throughout, with minor variations on weekends.

Weekly broadcast plan

The launch week (16–22 November) featured the most extended programming, including the launch night special. Subsequent weeks followed a Monday–Friday prime-time pattern at 9pm, with weekend editions typically at similar times. The final week condensed to daily episodes as the field narrowed from twelve to three finalists.

Finale details

The finale aired on 7 December 2025, crowning Morgan Burtwistle (Angry Ginge) as Series 25 winner and naming Tom Read Wilson as runner-up, with Shona McGarty in third place. The final episode included the traditional eating trials featuring rats and spiders, as noted by Radio Times.

What this means: the four-week sprint from launch to finale matched the pace of recent series, giving viewers roughly twenty episodes of nightly entertainment before the winner was crowned.

I’m a Celebrity 2025 cast: Confirmed line-up of contestants

The confirmed cast for Series 25 combined well-known television personalities, established musicians, and a breakout YouTube star who ultimately won the series. Each celebrity brought distinct background credentials that The Independent detailed at launch.

Key contestants highlights

Morgan Burtwistle (Angry Ginge) entered as a relative unknown to mainstream audiences but built a direct connection with viewers through his authentically chaotic energy — winning the public vote by a wide margin. Tom Read Wilson brought his Celebs Go Dating on-screen persona to the jungle, while Shona McGarty leveraged her EastEnders fanbase as a former cast member of that soap. Martin Kemp offered Spandau Ballet nostalgia, Aitch brought Brit Award credibility from the music world, and Alex Scott MBE contributed her England Lioness football legacy to the lineup.

Spin-off and related shows

The Coming Out special, scheduled for ITV after the final eliminations, allowed eliminated celebrities to reunite and reflect on their jungle experience publicly. Previous winners include Danny Jones (reigning champion), Sam Thompson, and Danny Miller, per Radio Times.

The implication: Series 25’s diverse cast composition signals ITV’s strategy to appeal to both traditional TV audiences and younger, digitally-native viewers through the inclusion of YouTube personalities like Angry Ginge.
