The popular reality series I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! launched on November 16, 2025, featuring a diverse lineup of ten celebrities ready to trade their luxurious lifestyles for the challenges of camp life in the Australian jungle. However, the excitement was overshadowed by a significant setback for one contestant, Eddie Kadi, who has appeared on various reality shows, including the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2023.
This year’s cast includes notable personalities such as Shona McGarty, Aitch, Alex Scott MBE, Jack Osbourne, Lisa Riley, Kelly Brook, Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwhistle), Ruby Wax OBE, and Martin Kemp. Each contestant will face a series of challenges for a chance to be crowned the winner, adding an element of competition that keeps audiences engaged.
As the series began, Ladbrokes reported that Angry Ginge is currently the frontrunner, attracting 19.6% of all bets placed, followed closely by Jack Osbourne with 18.8%. Martin Kemp rounds out the top three with 14.9%. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes remarked, “Angry Ginge is clearly the one to beat Down Under,” highlighting the competitive nature of this season.
Eddie Kadi expressed his enthusiasm about participating in the show, stating that it was an “immediate yes” when he was approached. He aims to inspire his daughter, saying, “Raising a daughter is a beautiful thing and my daughter is extremely excited. It’s going to be a story for her every single day.” Kadi hopes to make his daughter proud, especially if he succeeds in becoming the “King of the Jungle.”
The series promises to deliver the typical mix of challenges, drama, and camaraderie that fans have come to expect. Late arrivals are also anticipated, with rumors suggesting that Irish TV personality Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson, known for his role on Celebs Go Dating, may be joining the camp in the coming days, adding to the excitement.
“I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” airs at 21:00 GMT on ITV1 and is available for streaming on ITVX. As the contestants settle into their new environment, viewers are eager to see how the dynamics unfold and who will ultimately emerge victorious in this year’s competition.
